Interrupted Infinity

By Edgar Leman

The human soul and universe are similar: both are only partially understood, while both are boundless. What is the key to understanding how to live with irresolvable uncertainty, with an uncertain soul? What is the right path to choose? How to stay determined and focused given the chaos which permeates us? Some search for answers in science, others search the same in religion, others still rely on experience.

Maybe the answer is love with all its manifestations, a love which can guide you to the stars and to the depths of your soul. In order to understand our place in the universe, we must comprehend the universe inside ourselves. To solve the problematics posed at one level, one must examine it from a higher level of thought and understanding.

Chapter No 1

It was a sunny morning, as usual in this ancient city full of unbelievable and miraculous stories. A young man came out of his apartment after light breakfast and aimed at his laboratory, where he was working after his postdoctoral study. Millions or even billions of ideas were wandering in his mind, while the same quantity of stars was shining in the eternal sky, from time to time touching his consciousness and distracting him from his current little goal of reaching the lab punctually.

Despite his dreamy gait, he came exactly on time, being very punctual. Quite uncharacteristic for a scientist. His professor was waiting for him already in the lab.

Your admired gaze is appendant deep in the stars, again. Even when you cannot see them during the day, the professor did not try to reproach the young man but wanted to attract his attention and concentration back to reality. This was from student times.

Professor, I am listening to you with all ears; young was a man at the window, he turned back and looked at the laptop monitor, and there is a mismatch, again. Something is missing; I understand that the theory of black holes is fully proved, almost, and I am not arguing; he was sure that his scientific advisor has an opinion of him to be an always arguing or even a demagogue, and he was partly right because he was a little demagogue from childhood.

Do not start again. The professor smiled. It is not the first time that you are daring to put under the question mark even ages ago invented and multilaterally proven theories. Tell me what kind of results I can expect from you in the scope of this investigation. I need a precise timeframe from you.

For many decades, the professor gave lectures and was engaged in science in parallel and clearly realized that in such cases, it is impossible to expect a precise timeframe, however, he considered it necessary to express himself similarly. He tried to keep the Young man on the surface; otherwise, he could soar a long while and did not notice anything around him.

The scientist was sure that the Young man is irrefutable gifted and even more, but he couldn’t agree when he was showing mistrust of the theories which were the basis of his lifetime of scientific investigations. Already for several decades, he was one of the most foremost and respected astronomers on Earth. The field of modern physics was full of an uncountable quantity of inexplicable and revelation requiring secrets. It can be easily considered a place like heaven for any sedulous scientist if he can successfully pass the purgatory of the study.

Every computation is called to prove a theory, but here, we have the proof, neither theoretical nor experimental; the young man ignored the request to present a timeframe, I understand that we have already done an imposing job and created this software, which with the level of available accuracy confirmed all theoretical calculations and trajectories of space objects. I am also not arguing, the professor was looking at him with a bit of white jealousy; not the first time he saw himself in the inspiration of this young man and wished he was thirty again to besiege and conquer the secrets of so unintelligible combination of stars and science, but I want to see how definitely will be proved the gravitational system interrelation, or even its existence in solar, or any other system by this software.

Did you say now what I heard? or it was just an uncontrolled pile of words?

It is not the first day of our acquaintance professor, he looked slightly desponded. I have some calculations which you are not aware of, he made a pause. His speech was not flowing from early childhood, but it was not an impediment…but again there is a mismatch.

At that time, the mobile phone announced his ringtone, waking up a storm of another inexplicable feeling in the young man’s heart.

The young man had some computations and works, which were so far unfamiliar to Professor. He was sure that Professor realizes the importance of his scientific work; however, as with every gifted person in front of a great breakthrough doubt encircled him. His ideas never switched off, despite his physical or physiological state; sometimes they took him to unveiled far away, where he started to be afraid of them. He saw solutions that could contradict dogmatic theories or bring new resolutions to historically known problems. To keep it simple, we can say, that being talented is quite easy to accept, but it is extremely embarrassing to accept a genius.

As classic would say, The problem of the Earth is that any clever person is full of doubts and idiots are full of confidence. We can add only…Really, only on Earth?

Do not leave the unfinished work, the professor’s words hardly reached his disciple’s ears. He was running already on the stairway to the yard of the laboratory, where his girlfriend was waiting for him.

Chapter No 2

Despite the common expectations, the summer morning air was full of freshness; that much that everybody sowed down in their movements. The young man walked down the street and suddenly something made him sit down in the nearest cafe and order a cup of flavored liquid, which almost all people with different pronunciations call coffee. Despite the common expectations, coffee did not grant the flavor and emotions which people expect from this meaningful beverage. He tried to hurry but suddenly realized that he is not late. Seconds later, he asked himself where is he generally going and where from he came here and the answer despite the expectations was unclear.

And what is an expectation or anticipation? Why we are expecting something special or forecasted, or according to the life experience, or during different moments of life coercively assured. Of course, it is much easier to live in a semi-autonomous mode, when in recurrent situations, expectations are helping us to think less. However, currently, he was far away from such analytical approaches, which was actually his specialty. He had a constitutional bias toward analytics.

The watch showed to him the digital reflection of the mysterious phenomenon of time. On his hand, the junction of reality, past, and future was reflected digitally, but on the pole watch in front of him, arrows were spinning as if hinting in their everlasting spin that there is nothing outside it.

As if from nowhere, his future wife approached him. Instead of her beloved glance, he felt a cold one; it seemed she did not recognize him. She passed by, and he felt a strong wind on his face. He turned around and saw an imminent, huge ocean wave. He was in the middle of the city and the closest seashore was numerous miles away, so it could not be a natural disaster, but if not natural, it also could not even be an artificial or technological disaster. Water was approaching with vital power, nothing could be safe at that moment, and it could wipe away everything on its way with the flow. And despite the laws of physics, it was not losing its power having numerous obstacles on the way. Millions of such thoughts, logical chains, and statements were born in his mind instantly when he felt for a moment like free fall and opened his eyes.

He was in his bed. Wind opened the window over his head and a few drops of spring rain penetrated his room. Watch on the wall was showing the time when the majority of the city population is still sleeping, and he returned to his bed after closing the window.

Till morning, he did not manage to sleep again. What was the meaning of his dream? And what do dreams mean in people’s lives? And what does it mean for the person who is attaching great importance to it? For sure, it was not self-existing. The level of sub consciousness was still dark for science, and it could not be explained fully. When the far distances of the universe are carrying a lot of secrets, it is understandable, but it is strange when people are trying to find the answers using their brains and do not understand what they are using. Some people say that humans are using only eight percent of the central nervous system; others are insisting that those are ten percent and geniuses only one percent more. The only truth is that as far clusters of galaxies in the universe as well as human brains maelstrom are still unknown to humankind.

How are you, sweetheart, along with first glimpses of sunrise, he called his beloved.

"I am OK, but I
