Created from the dusts of the big bang - billions of years old, and still going strong, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Grrrrrrraaaaaaaaaavityyyyyy!!!!
Of all those who have preluded me, I was the only one there when the big
bang happened! Although I was weak, I was still there. I am one of the forces
which shaped this universe. The universe may not have come all right but we
were the principal architects of it. We have moved the enormous masses around
with that big bang.
I am the one of the most visible forces on earth. Numerous phenomena
happen just because of me and many of them also do not occur because of me.
Despite all this, humans were not aware of for major part of their history. It
was that one apple that fell on a fairly intelligent fellow that made humans
aware of my presence. God bless that apple and that intelligent fellow. For
without them, I would still be invisible to the human race.
Not that I need any spotlight. But when evolution has worked
so much to develop intelligence in human beings, it needs to be put to use in
some way. That recognition was the least that they could do.
Big bang was what I want to talk about. Ah! Those were the
days. We had no knowledge of what we have to do. We just had couple of gases
with us and were ordered to create a Universe out of nothing. Think about that.
No requirements, no directions nothing. Only we, forces were present and these
gases that moved according to our will.
Moreover, in the universe of things, I was the weakest of
all and the nuclear forces were way stronger than me. But I gained strength as
particles started acquiring masses and there my work began shaping the universe
and you can see the result.
Right now the universe is in cruise control mode and it is going
to be in this mode for sometime now. At least till the time, most of you
readers are alive. For me, nothing changes. I am strong now and I can manage
the things around with nuclear and electromagnetic forces.
We have become a great team. For big distances, I am in
charge. As the distances reduce, other forces take over and influence the shaping
of universe. During those times, I sit arm up on my chair, smiling at their
work. Yep I have me place for relaxation though not exactly a chair. It exists
in the minute spaces within the smaller particles where I am at the weakest.
Still we are always working. Our work is still not finished as little bits of events disturb Universe's balance and we have a job to maintain and shape it up as per the new events such as supernova, black holes, death of a star, etc. So now going back to what I do best but not before saying thanks to this not so intelligent
fellow for allowing me to voice myself after billions of years of working
in silence!
