The Multiverse Paradox Far and beyond in space, multiple universes like ours exist. Interestingly, the calculated fact of the probability of their existence is ‘Zero’. Read on to explore the existence of paradoxes beyond logic

’ll tell you one thing about the universe, though. The universe “Iis a big place. It’s bigger than anything anyone has ever dreamt of before. So, if it’s just us... seems like an awful waste of space, right?”- Ellie Ar- roway, Contact, 1997. The Multiverse is a hypothetical set of possible universes, including the universe in which we live. Together, these universes comprise every recorded thing that we know of: time, matter, flowing energy, the entirety of space, and all the physical and mathematical laws that govern them.

black blanket of clouds shrouded sky, making Athe day seem like night. The clouds had started rumbling making every kid afraid. Water was rising slowly and hurriedly, swallowing anything that came in its way. The trees were sway- ing leisurely as the wind pushed through them, making a tingling sound. Even though it was the time when the sun should have been at the top of the head, it still felt like midnight. It was really quiet. One could hear waves crashing on the shore and going back. Juliet had just arrived on this beach and also standing right there with her was her son Alex. Her grey hair blew as the wind rippled through her face. Her rough hands got sweaty as she held Alex’s hand, the rusted ring on her finger felt wet like a droplet on a gem.

Alas! it didn’t. He turned back to find the gigantic waves leaping towards them. His heart beat doubled and he panicked. “Mom run!” he squealed. Juliet knew that it was too late to do anything and she hugged Alex tightly. Her eyes welled up with anxiety, love, care and concern for her only son, her only treasure as she saw the monstrous waves, speeding towards them. Alex took a deep breath as he wore the necklace and opened the pendant to see picture of his parents for one last time, “I love you mom, I love you dad.” and closed his eyes. “I love you too Alex”, said his mom. The wild waves leapt at Juliet and Alex. The tsunami was a beast, with its teeth and claws lashing onto anything it could. For one last time, they looked at each other and said, “Everything is going to be okay, nothing is going to happen, nothing at all.” With teary eyes and heavy heart, she smiled and sung Alex his favourite lullaby, “Sleep my dear Alex, sleep my dear Alex, the an- gels are here for you, the stars are twinkling for you, the moon is shining ...... ” G T As thechildrenrollandpeoplestroll The pleasantskyamusesusgrownups As thesunrisesinskyandwakesbirdsup And weallsometimesdolittleflattery!
