The
race of planets through zodiac give rhythm to the time of men since
millenniums. The sky seems to do a complete turn of the Earth in a day, the
seasons succeed to the seasons, the be and the things are born, live and
die, even the stars and the galaxies. (This is just a little bit longer...)
Cosmos is the election place of monstrous energies, of which us can't do
ourselves a light idea that while imagining an uninterrupted succession of
thermonuclear disasters hundred thousand times superior to what is feasible
in the current state of scientifical knowledge.
To the view of universe dimensions, our relative magnitude is less than this
of one grain of sand reported to the desert of Sahara. Nevertheless, our
ambition is to be unique and to have a special destiny, while the Earth
turns around the Sun to close to 30 km/s (imagine your actual car going that
speed !!!), that the Sun turns around our galaxy in some 200 millions years
to 230 km/s, that the galaxy moves itself heading to his sister Andromeda to
45 km/s and that both rush to 600 km/s towards an unknown point called
"central attractor" !?! (This is a little the disorder !)
This ambition, this destiny, we think to perceive them in the middle of this
grandiose anarchy that is the cosmos, knowing that the second of our birth
is unique, that never in the universe story will come back this privileged
instant that saw us to open astonished eyes on this strange and improbable
world.
The theory of chaos suggests that a crumple of butterfly's wings in Amazony
risks, some months later, to produce a blizzard in Alaska (this always is
the disorder). The "strange attractors" appear to be like the spirals that
drew on the rocks our big neandertalians ancestors (those whom chin is
rather big). The EPR experience (Einstein, Podolski, Rosen) done by some
recognized scientists about the effects of atomic particles scission .
authorizes us to think that the most removed particles in our cosmos "know"
in which state are their sisters particles at the other end of this same
cosmos. (There, this is more than disorder, this is straight to be delirious
!...)
These wondering facts comfort us in our feeling to have a predestined role.
And, persuaded that the universe contains the response to our questions, we
question it through future telling art, which is after all as imprecise as
the changing theories of science. (Look at Psychology, Sociology or Economy,
there also this is a little the disorder.)
This Science(s) where, after all, the role of the observer is a lot less
negligible that one could believe it, and of which the measure instruments,
limited by the capacities of our senses and of our intellect, seem to be
only constructed to obtain, or verify, results previously defined with the
help of theories of which one cannot be sure that they will always be valid
on the next century. (Some scholars predicted on 19 century that peoples
taking the train would die stifled ?!... In 1950 scientific
establishment made a fool of those that believed in black holes ! We found
three of them today...)
The World "IS", for us individuals, what we perceive. And if one thinks a so
be little, we must do with our beliefs as we always did in the old times, so
erroneous be they. Our convictions, very often take it on the reality. The
confidence in us, the courage and some (strong ?) unconsciousness allow us
to realize things that one would dare to imagine without them.
All this let to think that our "big old" had completely reason to believe
that "all is linked", that our fate depends on camel that eats at the far
end of the desert, as of solar storm that prepares itself to the other end
of universe, that someone, our nest brother, is a picture of ourselves and
that we are his reflect. (Yes, I agree, it seems a bit complicated, but
that's true !)
The oldest remains of future telling attempts date to the last news, from
sumero-akkadians about 3.500 years before our era. And, the Shamans of
previous eras, without "history", practiced already divination and future
telling.
In 5.500 years, all things well considered, we haven't hardly changed our
mentality, even if we can go up on the Moon. The human nature and its
worrying are identical, eat, like, hate, procreate, to clothe itself,
progress…
Then, why a computer, of which the heart is done of "sand" and precious
stones issued from the first stars, secured closely by electromagnetic
forces that maintain the cohesion of universe, not could it inform us on our
"to be" and our "to become"?
Let's keep therefore a little place to the imagination, to the myths, to the
dreams..
And, let's listen,
let us follow,
the Legend...
