Why do we have 10 fingers in total? Why do things appear the way they appear? Why is it that the Sun rises in the east? Why has English become the global language?
Well..so many many questions pop up!!! Though humans claim to have understood the phenomenon of Big Bang and dark matter, there is so much that is left unanswered. Have you ever wondered what would have been the means of communication if not English. Sign language as ancients probably used? May be...but there are a lot of cons...one of them being - I couldn't have been blogging now. It would have been a totally different experience then. Weird to think of things as they are if you go into the depths in search of those simple things you come across in daily life.
The reason behind this is that we have accepted things the way they are. We are reluctant to change. We have been informed about certain things in childhood and kids aren't encouraged to be inquisitive. The main reason is that there are several questions in the minds of individuals and no one really knows why such and such a thing is in such and such a manner.
In this changing world, people hardly have the time to think of these minor issues. I have seen people who ask ' Does it really matter?'. Well...It depends on your view.
Science hasn't achieved its peak in certain small things we accept as a part of life. (Note : I'm not being harsh on any scientist here! I'm thoroughly grateful for all that humans have achieved. Right from the marvels of the expanding universe to the incredibly small quarks and anti quarks. I am not against science, in fact I'm an avid Science and Technology fan). But the harsh reality is that we are yet to discover so much more that is existent in this universe. There is so much that is still beyond the scope of human understanding. A revolution in scientific thinking in the near future will clarify these doubts plaguing the human mind.
Only Time Will Tell :)
