2075 : Aliens and Science Fictions

2075 : Aliens and Science Fictions

Science fiction is a pure work of fiction, and the aliens they refer to are a work of fiction too. So they say!

But how fictitious are aliens is a reality that needs to be inspected via the mirror of realism where all fictitious objects as well as subjects, get purged against the backdrop of logical assessments and the quantum of reality that can neither be altered or camouflaged by our preconceived notions, and knowledge that is based on lack of actual and verifiable information about the topic. Which for this blog post is the existence of aliens, and if at all by 2075 we will have decoded their existence, or based on verifiable facts we shall be able to rule out their existence completely.

In his book, The Interpretation of Dreams, this is how Mr. Sigmund Freud perceives a dream, "Dreams are never concerned with trivialities; we do not allow our sleep to be disturbed by trifles."

Surprised!

I am!

Why? Here is why!

Dream is a subconscious activity of the human mind, and the content of dream is derived from the imagination or deep desires of the subject, in this case the dreamer. And it is a well established belief among many scholars that every human imagination can be linked to a prehistoric memory of human civilisation, that gets carried forward via genes, where the actual source of the human mind's graph of activity or imaginative prowess lies embedded. So, if you see strange figures in your dreams, it is quite likely that they exist in reality too, even if they do not exist in reality that presents itself to us in 2 or 3 dimensional perceptions of mind. It is this fact that hints at the possibility of creating a reality where it can exist in a dimension beyond the restricting 2 and 3 dimensional view of reality.

Again quoting from The Interpretation of Dreams:

"What is common in all these dreams is obvious. They completely satisfy wishes excited during the day which remain unrealized. They are simply and undisguisedly realizations of wishes."

Mankind's wish was to see what lies on the Moon. Many dreamed about it and finally the dream to land a human being on the Moon did come true. Thinking of something as adventurous as this would have been a sin 200 years ago, and most of the people would have considered this dreamer to be either an alien or born of an alien.

Now when it comes to this you cannot say I am wrong. You know I am correct! So let us not argue on this point. At least not now. Please!

Mankind dreamed of someday living among the stars, and we already have an International Space Station placed in low Earth Orbit, which again proves every dream carries a part of reality embedded within it. It is upto the human mind to extract the illusive reality from this subconscious state and manifest it in conscious reality, where we live in parallel with constants like : time and gravity. International Space Station may not be an ultimate specimen of human ingenuity that has gotten closer to the stars, as far as its proximity with nearest star is concerned, but it certainly proves two things:

1- Dreams are not mere figments of the mind's imagination, they always hint at a reality which is awaiting to be revealed from the shadows of subconscious awareness.

2- We are made of matter that is very rare and our composition at genetic level is an extraordinary feat of evolution, that maybe, by chance, has placed us as the masters of the universe. And if not so in literal sense, it definitely establishes us as the species of thinking beings who can get closer to the Heavens for sure. And the International Space Station may not be among the stars, but it heralds our growing proximity with the Heavens. And it is not a dream, it is reality that can be measured and established by application of logic and some common sense that is not plagued by provincialism.
