Mystery Of Our Universe

Ever since we get our consciousness, one question always fills our mind and heart with mystery. The problem is "What is the meaning of Life," or we can say "Essence of Life." Today, every religious institute we have, all the priests we have, is there to guide people to know the meaning behind their lives. For some reason, no one can understand; each of them has their solutions with different logic. Some might be very convincing and comforting; others might sound foolish and funny, but all they want is to quench their thirst for knowledge. I believe that science is the best way to answer this question; it might sound like a spiritual problem, but science's primary definition is to understand nature around us. Of course, spirituality is part of our heart, so it automatically falls under the science to call it a science question. After all, no other problem can drive a scientist crazier than knowing the reason for existence. The quest for this question might have s

Imagine that we have visited a planet many light years away from earth in search of extraterrestrial life or aliens, and we found one. But how are we going to know that it is alien or not, I mean in order to be alien life first it had to be living, after all, we cannot simply declare a strange piece of rock as alien. So in order to identify a life outside of earth first, we need to understand how can we define life, to the extent where we can classify anything as living or non-living. In order to do that we have to look for a pattern in life. Look around you and you can easily classify anything as living or non-living based on your experiences and knowledge. But our knowledge and experience are of the earth only and that is why we have to be prepared for anything which is strange, and that is why we need the most fundamental function of life. So what is that bold line which differentiates living and non-living? Is it the sense of Environment? Well, every living thing we have s

A few days ago someone asked me that does this image tells us that we are living inside a body like ours. This image shows some similar structure which we have in a human body which can make you think that maybe the whole universe is a living body of a hyper being or a God. Now, this might be possible, however, there are plenty of reasons which defy this argument. First of all if we are in the body of any hyper being, why would they have structures like we humans have, I mean a dog sitting beside you might say in his language that "'don't be so arrogant to think that our god will be like you humans, after all, there are millions of other species too like we dogs". But wait does it hurt your pride to compare you with species like a dog.  Well, this is true, we are unique but not special at very least. Our intelligence is just an evolutionary product and trust me this evolution has not stopped yet. If somehow after millions of years from now humans somehow survi
