The Initiation

Introduction of the Blog and the Blogger
Hello readers,  I am a curious cucumber who likes to question so many things around me through a lens of inquisition. I am starting this blog to share my take on some of the most bewildering questions. It is difficult to put a theme to what will be the subjects of this blog. But, if pressed hard, I would say the subjects of the questions would mostly be lurking on the extreme edges of mainstream science. This will include but not limited to, UFOs (or UAPs), Cryptids, Simulation Hypothesis, AI so on and so forth. These are the subjects which get my motor running and the creative juices flowing. This blog is my journey through the uncharted territories of science, philosophy and the questions about our very existence. In light of this, I would like to request you my reader friends to keep a clean slate and expect nothing. The only thing you can expect is the unexpected!

 After speaking about the subjects, it is only logical to provide some information about the blogger. 

I am Maximilian Curious. Needless to say that it is my pseudonym. I have purposefully chosen a pseudonym over my real name so that the reader will have an unbiased opinion about the articles published on this blog irrespective of my language, gender, race, nationality, ethnicity or anything else.
 
I am an engineer by profession with a masters' degree in electrical engineering from a world-renowned institution. I am currently in my early thirties. I am passionate about science, sports and music. In short, I am a curious cucumber and a friendly soul. 

 I am not a regular blogger and hence I will not be able to publish articles at regular intervals. I would prefer to do thorough research and study on a particular topic under consideration before putting it out there. Therefore, my sincere apologies in advance if that's something that bothers you.

I would encourage readers to have their opinions on the subjects, topics and questions pondered on. Please feel free to comment on the articles or contact me on my email id maximilian.curious@gmail.com. I would love to have your opinions and suggestion on the topics I should consider contemplating. 

However, there will be a zero-tolerance policy on any hateful, negative and destructive kind of comments. It will be totally my discretion to decide the acceptability of a comment or a response. In the end, it is just "blog mea, et praecepta mea" (a.k.a. my blog, my rules). 

 The first topic I've decided to explore is the 'Simulation Hypothesis'. Keep an eye out for the first article. Happy exploration! 

 Yours sincerely,
Maximilian Curious

In the Abyss of the Cosmos: Confronting the Terrifying Choice Between Absolute Solitude and the Haunting Presence of the Unknown

O ne of the most profound questions humanity faces is: Are we alone in the universe? Despite the vastness of space and the abundance of potentially life-supporting planets, we haven't, at least officially, encountered any extraterrestrial life forms. This leads to a deeper contemplation: Which is more unsettling—being alone in the universe or not? In my view, being alone is the more daunting prospect. Here's why: Life is an Anomaly and not a Rule : If we are truly alone, it implies that the life and especially the intelligent life is just an anomaly. It is not a common occurrence as a result of certain life generating conditions. Essentially, life then becomes a glitch in the normal order of the universe. Emotional Implication : Being alone may lead to being lonely on a cosmic level. It eliminates the possibility of any sort of "cultural exchange". The dreadful solitude will deny any chance of sharing the mysteries of the universe and existential thoughts with anyone ...

Nasadiya Suktam : The Creation Hymn - A tale before time, exploring the "Nasadiya Suktam" through a modern lens

Even though I am not qualified to discuss deeper cosmological and philosophical questions, I am always fascinated by these topics. For example, ever since I heard about the big bang in school, I have always wonderd that what was there before big bang?! I am sure all the great minds in cosmology are working hard to find an answer to this question. But my mind was blown when I learned that there is a Hymn from Rigveda that precisely asks these questions. That proved two things, first, this question, how everything started is unanswered for millenia. And secondly, the people who asked it at least 4500 years ago were not primitive by any measure.  Asking questions like this shows a certain level of advanced thinking. Excusing myself for a little detour I would like to take this opportunity to point out that this has been a theme in the ancient vedic texts. The vedic texts are a treasure trove for philosophical discussions. Moving back to the topic, this hymn from Rigveda is in the 10t...

Abiogenesis Vs Panspermia - Why Life is Extremely Rare in the Universe?

T he very first or one of the very first candidates for the great filter is the first instance of the genesis of organic matter. In case of earth, two prominent candidates that come out on top as the answers to this question are 'panspermia' and 'abiogenesis'. Both of these questions answer many questions and give rise to many others. One important thing to keep in mind is that these two are competing theories only in case of earth. If we consider the universe as a whole abiogenesis has the potential to answer the question how does life start anywhere? This will be more clear as we discuss these in more detail in this article. In this article we will briefly see both the concepts and some of the intriguing possibilities arsing from them. Also, we will see how this ties up with the great filter hypothesis and the rarity of life in the universe.  Panspermia The word ' panspermia ' is derived from the Greek words "Pan" meaning all and "Sperma" m...
