Space Opera Universe – Are we Living in One?

Is our planet earth in the Space Opera Universe?

Sometimes, I am amazed by this planet we are living on–our planet earth. If you take the time, you will realize that everything about this earth is truly incredible. If you look up, you see a never-ending sky. If you look down, you see the rivers, seas, and the land with soil and stones. The land on earth grows trees and plants, and it holds us and other living beings and creatures in its arms.

The animals can only walk on their four limbs, whereas the humans (we) can stand, walk, and run only on our two feet. Gravity holds everything so firmly on earth. Although the earth is spinning, we move and travel of our own accord. Earth continuously orbits the sun, resulting in days and nights, but we do not go spinning along with it.

We exist and live in a space between the sky and the land. Isn’t this a wonderful world where every soul on earth is orbiting this space to make its journey from its birth to its death like the earth orbits the sun in the galaxy, making its journey from day to night year after year?

I think all the living beings, including us here on earth, are orbiting the space between sky and land like the other planets, including earth, orbit the galactic space around the sun. Everything is time-bound in this universe, but the only thing is our time on earth is uncertain and limited.

According to the laws of the universe, the earth takes around 365 days to orbit the sun, and this has been going on for billions of years. In the same way, all of us living here on earth have to make our journeys within the allotted time, but unlike the earth takes around 365 days to orbit the sun, we cannot know for sure how much time is allotted to us to make our orbits (journeys) in this earthly space.

We begin our journeys at birth, and our journeys end when we die. But I think our journeys do not end with our deaths. Our journeys are never-ending journeys into the infinite universe. We are born, and we die, and maybe we are born again, and this cycle continues infinitely. Similarly, I think our earth must have been born and must have died several times, and then it was born again and continues to exist in the universe god only knows for how long.

Wait, now you must be thinking–Why is this guy telling me all this? What is he trying to imply by establishing a connection between the life of earth and our lives? To answer these questions, let me ask you one more question–Have you ever heard of a concept called Space Opera Universe?

Space Opera Universe is a science fiction (sci-fi) world where the human-like residents existing and living on it possess special superhuman powers and superweapons. The residents of the Space Opera Universe travel in flying cars and spaceships. They live in sophisticated, ultra-digital houses.

Just like in our world of earth, there are some good people and some evil ones too, the Space Opera Universe has some good people fighting against some other evil-minded people who want to own and control their whole universe.

Space Opera Universe is the world of super-advanced technologies with sophisticated, digital warfare between the good and the evil existing in their universe.

Oh yes, I know you are now thinking about the movies such as Star Wars, Avatar, Avengers, Interstellar, etc. That is exactly what I am talking about. I think our earth here in this universe could be a planet like Pandora shown in the movie Avatar. There may be many other planets like our earth out there in this universe, where there may be humans like us living there too.

Many renowned astrophysicists and cosmologists from around the world have come up with theories that make us ponder the possibility that there could be many other planets like this earth out there in this universe with humans like us living on them too.

The movie Interstellar shows that our earth is nearing its extinction, so scientists and space travelers search for another planet like earth where they can relocate and save the remainder of the human race.

In the same way, I think our human race existed on some other planet some billion years ago, but then that planet reached its extinction. And then, humans started inhabiting and evolving along with other creatures on this earth. This earth’s atmosphere was so salutary and suitable for us (humans) that we evolved from being crawling apes to the modern-world space-traveling brainiacs.

I think this makes our earth like some planet from a Space Opera Universe, where now we have been able to develop technologies that have made airplane and even space travels possible. Please also read my article Technology’s Leap of Faith where I talk about my childhood imagination about technology and how it came to life later on in my life.

We have been to the moon, and we have been able to send machine-operated space drones to the planets like Mars and Venus, which are a billion miles away from earth. So, we are no less than those superhumans who exist in a Space Opera Universe like the ones we have seen in those sci-fi movies.

So, maybe we are already living in the Space Opera Universe. Still, we are oblivious to this fact because we are so busy with our day-to-day, routine lives that we do not even have the time to look up at the sky and wonder about how amazingly our earth operates between space and time in this universe. What do you think?
