If one could read a ripple in time, what
then?
And have we already?
A spectacular event took place in 500,000
B.C., thereabouts, a supernova—
(when homo
heidelbergensis prowled the earth, other things were happening in other
places within God’s universe)
In a far-off constellation, one of the
eighty-eight recognized groups known to modern man…
On a planet unnamed and unknown, in a
far-off solar system, amongst the stars—this story comes to us from a single ripple in
time, hidden within its memory of some far-off cataclysmic event in the cosmos,
as previously mentioned, and loose bits and pieces of interesting trivia, have been recovered.
In other words it comes from a
gravitational wave, the warping of space-time (we have at the Louisiana Space Center,
seen this event in light).
The scientists at the Center have agonizingly
examined the genome, which is the instruction booklet for building and maintaining
billions of DNA letters of information, for a sizable interstellar saber-beast,
which was diagramed within this wave.
I asked the scientists at the Louisiana
Space Center “How is this possible to read light as you say you do, and
speculate on such events, and creatures
that once existed a half million years ago?”
“Laser Interferometer,” he said; meaning I
think: bouncing light between this and whatever that is!
Thus making that, possible to speculate on.
He went on to say:
“Gravitational waves reproduce at the
speed of light, at this speed time stands still, if we can connect, or plug in,
we get what we seek.
And within these waves are carried the
knowledge of events before the star’s (or sun’s) explosion—otherwise known as a supernova—takes
place.
This knowledge is maintained up to its
current—prior to death—status to the detection of a black hole, hence at which
time, it will be swallowed, or sucked up into.
In point of fact, its debris entombed, forevermore.”
By and large, the scientist was telling
me, there are fossils in space-time, in those so called gravitational waves.
Carl Sagan said it best: “We are not
alone!” (past tense in this case)
How true that appears to be, but so
far-off, we have to read the primitive events on other planets by the way of bouncing light here and there, capturing it,
caging it, dissecting it: oversimplified, but for a novice like me, it will
have to do.
And so, what we know is that the planet the
beast lived on, came to an end, as did its star, and most likely its whole
solar system.
Should our star lose its composure, and sum,
and some day it will, the solar system we live in will be obliterated,
consumed, and thrown down a trash spiral, or black hole, like theirs.
And when I say theirs: this information we
are talking about, came to the Center by way of a voice commentary, as one
might hear a documentary on television describing for National Geographic, to
the public, the Polar Bear:
Heard in one of those gravitational waves,
extracted, translated, as one would have done, and has done with the Dead Sea
Scrolls.
