Random thoughts again

Religion

Most humans believe that we originated from one person. And from him the second and so on. Most humans believe that there is One God. Though different names given in different religions but all say there is none but One lord high above. In the holy scriptures of most religions the basics are very similar if I am not wrong. Basics like prayers, helping each other, doing good deeds, giving to poor or others from a part of ones earnings, the able one to work, earn and eat from that, marriage and offspring and etc. Basics like not to fight each other, not to harm an innocent, fight in a righteous cause, not to harm women and children and elderly, not to steal, not to kill and etc.

So why are there many religions with slight differences and all the hatred?

Time and the speed of light

Most humans say that the speed of light is the fastest and we cannot reach that. And if we ever reach the speed of light then time will not be there.

But the earth is moving at a fast speed on its own axis. A person around the equator will be moving at that speed. And also the earth is moving around the sun at a higher speed. So is the person on this earth. And this solar system is moving around a galactic center. And this Milky Way is moving at a high speed around something. And that some thing might be moving at a very high speed around something and so on because we do not know where this orbiting of one around another ends. So simply speaking we are moving at a very high speed at this very moment.

What if we are moving faster than the speed of light now? We might need to slow down to reach the speed of light or even go beyond that.

Time is something we created by inventing a watch that ticks with the help of a battery, kinetic or perpetual movement counting seconds, minutes and hours. We relate to that of the sun and moon. But is there such a thing called time, which we make to ourselves and schedule all our daily routines. We refer to time by the age of us or other things. But is it a change of being, energy or mass that we transform into with the movement of the high speed that we travel at as said earlier.

We see the spiraling outward movement of the Milky Way. And we say that the universe is expanding. But did anyone notice the disc on a wheel of a car. When the speed of car reaches a certain limit the rotation of this disc turns opposite. And hence we see it move in the opposite direction than the true rotation of the wheel. Similarly the Milky Way might be moving in the opposite direction than that we see. Hence shrinking it inwards rather than expand. Illusions are only seen to the eye. We are the beings who, when in a dessert, run after a mirage when thirsty.
