Fate and Co-Incidence: The Bigger Picture.

Is there such a thing as fate, or co-incidence for that matter? Are our lifes just a pre-set mix of different decisions that are already made for us or do we truly have free will?

Sometimes in life, we all have that ery feeling that if something happens or if for some reason, it co-insides with something else, we will treat this as a co-incidence. This can go to the ultimate improbable extremes and this is how we find ourselves beginning to ponder whether fate is playing its role.

Personally, I dont see fate as being real in any sense. Time will continue to press on and we will all continue to make the right and wrong decisions upon our own free will. The only co-incidences that do occur are when our minds get carried away with ourselves and begin to relate things together. Some interesting theories to bear in mind however, include:

- The Science Experiment. Perhaps were all test subjects in a laboratory somewhere. A splatter of life under the microscope. Maybe even being controlled.
- The Matrix. However improbable this may first appear (and ofcourse im not quoting the film scenario as gospel), when you consider how technology has evolved over the last one hundred years, you could never rule it out.
- Multiple universes. Strangely and perhaps what is more shocking is that this thoery is the most likely of all thoeries to explain the grand expanse of space and everything within it. The prospect of there being millions of universes much like our own, where each decision is played out differently. Maybe even some instances where the Earth fails to exist at all.

Im a fan of the multiple universe theory myself, however, there are probably a thousand more ideas out there and still none of them may proof correct. The world is a strange place, much stranger than we give it credit for.

Separating The Impossible From The Improbable..

What is impossible? What defines such an absolute term of phrase in this day and age.. I feel this term has changed its meaning and become less used and needed in today's ever evolving world.

Two hundred years ago, if I were to say that we would be flying around in metal machines, travelling hundreds of miles in mere hours and travelling into the heavens where the stars reside, each of these possibilities would of been met with immediate ridicule and be dismissed as impossible by the high majority.

Here we are however, in the age of technology and at the pinnacle of development in our current civilised status. The world now, with the influence and expansion of science, industry and technology has become a very different place. This is now a place where the term impossible is met with curiosity and wonder instead of dismissal.


Will we be able to create a robot that could operate exactly like a human? Possibly.

Will we be able to exceed the speed of light? Improbable, not impossible.

Many more questions reside in this category and as we develop, we have begun to have a whole new concept of what is possible and what really defines 'impossible'. The faith we have in science has risen to a point where almost anything cannot be 100% ruled out. Science fiction today may one day become science fact, and there can be no definitive rule that could categorically say otherwise.

Defying Gravity.. Is It Possible?

As crazy and unlikely as all of science fiction may seem to us, there is a fundamental force at play that if able to be controlled, could make those stories and shows a thing of the here and now and within the grasp of our lifetimes..

Gravity. If we ever found a way of manufacturing ways to control it and bend it to our will, then we may have control over many more things that would vastly change the prospect of humanity's future. For example:

- Space travel. This could be done without the concern of long term damage to our bone structure.
- Space travel again. Being able to bend gravity itself may make lightyears condense down to much smaller units of time, as we may be able to understand more about how to bend space around us, rather than us fitting into space.
- Time Travel. You never know, these could be linked and from various sources it would appear they could be.
- Weight will have no value. If gravity were turned off in a sense, a once heavy item could suddenly be manageable. This would work also for vastly large structures.

On a more negative note however, if possible and if discovered, due to the implications of such an ability, this could spell dire times ahead for all of us if handled wrongly.

Asteroid Belt Around Vega Insinuates Existing Planets In Region

Asteroid Belt Around Vega

The above article confirms that an asteroid belt is existent around Vega, which also suggests that the only reason it is able to keep in its current form, is if planets may exist relatively nearby.

As science and exploration develops over the coming years, we are only going to seem to find more and more planets, and many of these may be heralded in the 'Goldilocks Zone'. Is it only a matter of time until we find out that we are not alone, or will science never become so developed for us to ever find out? Questions we are ofcourse only able to ponder over.

One hundred or even fifty years ago, you would of been mad to think that there was any life beyond our little blue planet. Now however, with all the discoveries and statistics that science has brought us, isn't it now crazy to think there isn't anything else out there? This, in fact, is now highly improbable.
