Science fiction. The dark

 

#Sciencefiction. The dark

They have been traversing through the multiverse for many years now, and it seems they have got lost in the multiverse. Where every new opening leads to another multiverse and the loop continues on and on. The crew members of the spaceship, “EUSAIND” have been trapped here for long. And the population of only surviving humans on board the spaceship is beginning to worry that it might be the end of the human species. Because the multiverse is unwilling to release them from its never ending loops.

It all happened on that fateful morning, when everything appeared so pleasant and beautiful. And the EarthAs clan members decided it was time to travel to the new planet that could support human life. Because EarthAs planet was dying and it had only a few hundred years left before it would turn into a cold and dark planet that no longer supported life. 

It's only star, its provider of life, was becoming devoid of its own life supporting gases. This left the EarthAS clan members with only one option. To travel to the new planet.

The EarthAs clan had been preparing for this mass exodus for almost 5 decades now. And it had built a state of the art space ship that could transfer all clan members to the new planet in 5 round trips between the EarthAs planet and the new planet spotted by them. 

Their community of scientists had proposed the morning of June 15, 2075, as the appropriate date to embark on this voyage. As planned the first batch of EarthAs clan members boarded the space ship, and in the midst of lot of fanfare they left the planet and traveled towards the new planet that they named, “TriHope.”

TriHope is nestled in a galaxy that is 200 light years away from their galaxy. Given their existing technology and their mapping of the known universe, along with gravitational and other forces. It should take them 5 years to reach there. And they have the necessary provisions to sustain the entire population onboard the EUSAIND for 40 years. 

They have taken food generation and organic food culturing to a completely different level. Where vegetable gardens are no longer the need, but just few genetic codes and the base cell, to print these gene sequences on. 

They grow this food in food culture pods, where they can replicate anything with exact nutritive value, taste and physical shape, as desired by an individual.

However, this has not been easy. They had to introduce 3 generations of 500 volunteers from their clan to these genetically grown foods on their planet, and study their physiological and other changes. Modify the foods accordingly. In this study where 500 volunteers were monitored. It included their children, and their grandchildren. Because genetic mutations become weaker from third generation onwards. Meaning, the grand, grand fathers traits will be less dominant, except few strong traits, which can be attributed to genes with ability to dominate every mutation. Almost like green eyes and turquoise blue eyes. Although, there are few exceptions to this rule, because suppressed genes can get activated in the grand, grand child as well.

They monitored their bodies' interactions and reactions towards these cultured foods. And in the third generation of these volunteers they found that their bodies and brains had perfectly adapted to these foods and none of them showed any signs of weakness or underdevelopment and growth of tissues, muscles, cells etc.

A perfect future race of EarthAs clan ready to claim the new planet, TriHope. Everything appeared to be perfect and their spaceship was cruising through space at a very high speed. But not faster than light. 

Their smart Universe Plotter enables the space ship to reduce the journey of many light years significantly. Because across the Universe, there are only few forces at work, and these forces are constant across the cosmos. The genius of EarthAs clan lies in determining the variables of these forces spread across the universe. Once it has been determined one can travel easily from point A in the universe to point B. If they are 1000 light years away, the smart plotter can complete this journey in a couple of light years.

However, in intergalactic travel there are no shortcuts, because they can lead to the shortest path to a zone known as Nowhere in Universe.

Nowhere! Yes, nowhere!

In the universe in a few specific zones all forces get jumbled up, to such an extent that it is difficult to tell these forces apart. The forces just like atoms form bonds. These can be bonds of equating forces, and at the same time bonds of canceling or opposing forces. When that happens, they create zones called “NOWHERE!” 

If you happen to enter this zone of the Universe, you will keep looping in this zone forever. Because here, time, gravity, perception of space, magnetic and other forces, seem to lose their native properties. Mostly due to these uniting and canceling forces. 

If you happen to drop a , say rose; in it. Initially its petals will disintegrate and fall apart. Then as if acted upon by some mysterious force its petals integrate and regain the original and intact shape. In another moment, only half of its petals disintegrate and then these too re-integrate. It is all happening at the same time. 

And breaking free from this loop is impossible. The EUSAIND spaceship has a Universe navigation plotter that can identify these pathways.

The EarthAs clan must have entered their 2nd year of space travel, when someone from the senior community of space navigators found that the plotter was actually showing the same route again and again. 

And he shouted in total dismay, “Oh no! We have entered Nowhere. We are in the Nowhere zone!”

Since then they have been trapped in this zone. Where all rules of known mathematics fail and so do the laws of known physics fail as well. Because the ship disintegrates and then auto integrates. Even its population appears to get teleported and then they find themselves at the same spot where they were before. As if the Universe were transporting them to its edge and then bringing them back to the same spot again. 

But, one of their chief space navigators has been working on this problem for many decades. And now being trapped in it herself. Instead of panicking she begins to observe the patterns. And she finds something quite spectacular.

She notices gravity traveling in multiples waves each of different intensity. Where few waves were extremely intense, few were weak, yet they maintained individual streaks. By some mysterious means, that she was unable to comprehend. Because logically, the stronger gravitational wave should cancel the weaker one and merge it within itself.

And having pondered on it for a few weeks. She arrives at this conclusion:

“There is a continuous and endless discharge of these streams of gravitational waves, and as the stronger one acts on weaker one, it gains higher intensity. Then again a new weaker streak of gravitational wave appears and gets consumed by this high intensity gravitational wave. In this battle of consuming a weaker gravitational wave, and acting upon other gravitational waves with varying intensities, the loop enters a ceaseless cycle of waves getting created and consumed. Then re-created and re-consumed. An unending process.

But it was more complex than this. A weaker wave due to higher opportunities of devouring a greater number of gravitational waves way too less intense than it. Had good chances of evolving into a gravitational wave with super intensity.

In another scenario. An originally, super intense gravitational wave could get canceled out by a wave that was less intense. Purely due to the factor of chance. i.e. If it had the opportunity to merge with a much larger number of gravitational waves of lesser intensity. That would turn it into a super gravitational wave, with much higher intensity; enough to devour a wave that was born as a super intense gravitational wave.

As this dance between these mysteriously behaving  forces plays out in this zone, anything that gets trapped here, tends to be cast on a swing. Where the mass of the objects that are placed at the opposite ends of the swing does not matter. 

Because the opposing ends of the swing are being acted upon by ever varying gravitational forces. The moment one end is down and the person sitting on this end feels now she can get off, the other end exerts higher gravitational force and you miss the chance. Thus the swing keeps dangling in this never ending sequence of lows and highs.

Right now EUSAIND is trapped in a similar fate, where no force can rescue it. 

However, they believe, there is a civilisation somewhere in the universe, that does not know the end of the Universe, but it understands the workings of universe and its forces better than any other known civilisation of thinking beings. They can escape these zones as well.

How?

That is a secret they are unwilling to share. Because they believe its excessive use can alter the balance of the Universe and render it unfit for every civilisation of thinking beings.

It is believed by many on board the EUSAIND that this highly advanced civilisation would already know that they are trapped, now it is upto them whether they will rescue the EarthAs clan members or leave them trapped in Nowhere forever. 

They spend almost a year in this unending loop of Nowhere. Finally one night, a senior navigation officer, sees this message appear on the navigation screen:

“We know you are trapped in Nowhere. And we want to help you. But you will not ask any question and we will lead you to the destination planet “TriHope.” How you will get there, will also be our decision. If you agree. Immediately press any key on your screen; and if you choose not to agree, do not press any key, and we will understand you have declined the offer.”

She instantly presses a key that her index finger could locate.

And again she sees a message appear on her screen, “You will be making more trips to transport your remaining population. Once you reach TriHope, you will find a new version of the plotter updated on your system. It will be an exclusive map that will lead you from TriHope to your planet and then direct you from your planet back to TriHope. Without getting trapped in Nowhere. 

Your plotter has a bug that you need to fix. Once you reach TriHope and you have a better understanding of the universe, we are hopeful you will fix the bug and improve the plotter. Travel well to the new planet of hope and make it a better place for all humans.”

Then something happened and EUSAIND experienced a different kind of thrust, it had finally managed to free itself from the grip of Nowhere. And it finally landed on TriHope just in a matter of days. 

The universe plotter of the advanced civilisation that had got activated was far too precise and exceptionally refined. It had cut short their journey by 80% and this was phenomenal.

EUSAIND made many to and fro trips from TriHope to EarthAs, until it had managed to transport every member of the EarthAs clan to TriHope.

TriHope is a beautiful planet, a planet that is very beautiful and green. It is surrounded by 2 small planets which are habitable as well. Every EarthAs clan member is excited and they immediately begin working on a plan to populate the planets based on a sophisticated algorithm that will keep the population under check, in order to ensure that the natural resources of these planets are not overburdened. And having learned their lessons from EarthAs they also form a government that works at planetary level and not just based on countries and clans. Because if the planet survives only then will everyone else survive as well.

Well it seems, everyone is happy on TriHope now. And they believe they are being closely watched by the advanced civilisation that rescued them, because it believes in them, and their ability to add value to the community of thinking beings that occupy different verses across the universe.

It was with this inspiration and hope, that I wrote my #sciencefiction novel, They Loved in 2075. Which is a #sciencefiction romance novel, but it tries to bring the reader's attention to important topics like: Global warming, Climate change; and how humans will experience love and emotions in 2075.

A #scifi story that is for you, for the human in you, for the scientist in you, for the activist in you and for the lover in you! Because the planet we live on, exists for me as much as it does for you and anybody else. And for my future generations and your future generations, it will be right to hope and believe that “They too loved in 2075!”

Because without it, there will be nothing human left in them. That is why I believe the #scifi novel, They Loved in 2075, is specifically written for you and only for you! It can be one of the most stimulating #scifibooks.
