flying to the moon on a boeing 747

Earth Moon

Ever wondered how long it would take to fly to the moon from earth in a Boeing 747? .. Answer is ~ 17 days

What if you were traveling by car at 100Km/hr (62.1371 miles per hour)…. ~ 150 days!

What if you were sitting on a beam of light?… ~ 1.2 seconds

The moon is farther away from us than it seems to be.

* These are hypothetical scenarios meant to give you an idea of distance. Realistically speaking Boeing 747 (or for that matter any aircraft designed to fly in the earth’s atmosphere only) cannot  fly out in space. And we all know that cars cant fly (or can they?..). And lastly, our bodies cannot endure traveling at the speed of light… (ever wondered how it would feel like to travel at the speed of light?…. check out this video to learn more about that.)

We are ancient… yes we really are (no philosophy, pure science)

So far scientists have only understood the nature of light. How light behaves in certain situations and conditions. But that’s all that they know. They still don’t know what light really is! Is it a wave or a particle?

Ever wondered how long it takes light to travel from its point of origin within our Sun to fall on you (when you are standing in direct sunlight)? You will be amazed by the answer.. it can take anywhere from hundreds of thousands to even millions of years. In other words…. every light particle/ or for that matter wave or Waveticle that hits us… is in a way worth displaying in a museum coz in human time scale they are “ancient”.

Riding, on that thought stream… have you ever wondered how old the atoms must be that make up your own body? Yes, its as old as this universe is .. the age of our universe is 13.77 billion years…. in a way we are “ancient” in the most material way.

Next time you become aware of the saliva in your mouth, or the tear drop in your eye or the water flowing out of the tap.. know that its the same water that once flowed in dinosaurs, and even before that used to be on some alien planet and came to earth riding on meteors and comets some 3.5 to 4.6 billion years ago..

Time is Liberating

If we realize that our life’time’ is so tiny (infinitely microscopicc) in front of the universe’s timescale we wont be left with any choice but to stay in bliss all the time… because we’ll know that everything is changing and will never remain the same then why worry? why be jealous? why be angry? why be disappointed? why not be happy, forgiving, all inclusive and loving? Easier said than done but not impossible… all that we have to do is start somewhere and give ourselves some TIME .. and how do we do that?… answer lies in meditation (meditation is spending quality time with yourself).
Thanks for your time.
Lots of Love…
