Worlds within a World!

What does the world mean to us? Well, some people might argue that Mr. A or Ms B might mean the world to them, but on the serious front, the word 'World' is a very loose term, which encompasses all that exists around us! The world can be best defined as a realm or domain which we restrict ourselves to. But is does our definition of 'World' include possibly everything that every existed?

Well, coming back to the fact of the matter, its safe to assume the definition of our world to be limited to what we see around us, the earth, the sky, and the stars. But if we come to think of it from a deeper perspective, we realize that there are a lot of different small worlds that make up our world. Right from our own world, to the Marine world, to the world of cells, the subcelluar level, and finally atoms, electrons, quarks.. All these worlds r intermingled, and based upon one other, for the other world to function properly.

To make things clearer, lets go down to the example of the Cell. We can assume the Cellular world to be a realm in itself, in which various sorts of events are going on, as they go on in our realm. The Mitochondria symbolizes our Production Industries, the Nucleus is the Manufacturing Centre, the Endoplasmic Reticulum is the defence system, the macrophages are our nuke missiles, the Killer Cells and Interferons being target missiles, and all the chemicals happily go around from one cell to another as we hop around cities to countries.... not all chemicals can enter all cells (selective permeability)..Which could symbolize the citizenship we have of different countries, but under certain special conditions (Visas?!) some chemicals can enter the cells which they don’t usually enter. The glucose and proteins can be the petroleum and agriculture resources and some Antigens (read Terrorists) create havoc in a specific group of cells, and the immune system tries to take care of them, but there is always the occasional infection (read bomb blasts!) which keep on disturbing the peace of the cellular system throughout life... but the body lives on (as the world moves on!), till eventually one day the cell has to die, and it is replaced by another cell..

Now having made a truly bizarre comparison, lets go down to the subcellular level... don’t the electrons going around the nucleus bear an uncanny similarity to our solar-system! It was proved that these electrons do not follow strict orbits, and neither do our planets. They revolve around the nucleus as our planets revolve around the sun, and there is a great deal going on INSIDE these electrons, which even the most powerful electron microscopes cannot decipher. Electrons, protons and neutrons are supposed to me made up of quarks, which we can assume as countries on planets... and well, the electrons even spin around their axis like our earth does!

Going up higher up in the hierarchy, lets go to the solar system... it could be that our solar system resembles on atom, and the various galaxies are similar to the various molecules that exist, and their mixing up causes different kinds of reactions...depending on the catalyst! At times there can even be explosions.. like when Raw sodium reacts with water (which we term as Supernovas!) and those quesars cud well be the quarks we term!

What I mean to say is that, each world depends on a smaller world, which cud be much more closer to own world than we realize. The smaller components probably don’t realize what they mean to the larger components, as probably we don’t realize what WE cud actually mean to the larger system. The cells quietly go about doing their work which we awake n sleep... it cud be we are doing our OWN work for something MUCH larger and beyond our comprehension without ever knowing it! We fight off things that endanger us, just as antibodies fight antigens...but in the process we might be protecting something big, like the antibodies protect us. We christen the bigger powers as the power of Gods, and we might be what the other smaller organisms call God! There could exist an infinite number of worlds that exist both below and above our hierarchy, upon which the existence of our own world depends. We just play our part and though we might be inquisitive, we cannot comprehend things beyond a point, and we cannot betray the way we are meant to stay to much extent. Of course we do evolve, as do the cells, as does our universe... after all a little change is necessary... me might shift to the moon someday... and might grow more intelligent.. just like we could probably have new organ in our body, say in a million years!

For all we know, the thing which we consider to be our Universe, could just be an atom of some other world, and the thing which we consider to be an atom, could be the universe of another world....

No wonder they say.. the ways of the world are really strange!! :)
