My
goal is very simple: I have to create the Universe. I have been
daydreaming about it. Finally I realized that unless I have ‘Dreams with
Deadlines’ I couldn’t achieve my goal. Hence I created Time today.
10-43 sec, January 1
Since there is nobody to supervise what I am doing, it should be easy to do my job. My job is to create. Perhaps job
is not the right word as I am not sure if at all I will ever get paid
for it. Still then I will do my work without thinking about the results
because firstly, I enjoy creating and secondly, I have no
responsibilities yet.
There are so many ways to create that I am a little puzzled. This is
not as easy as I thought it to be. Thanks … to ME, there is no
competition. There is neither fact nor fiction. Hence everything is
possible.
I have no concrete things to start with … not even imagination.
How can I have imagination without any experience? How helpless I am? I
have nothing with me, not even another God or Goddess to listen to my
helplessness! How lonely I am?
Oh yes! I see … I have ‘Nothing’. That is the best thing I have. I
have to just rename it such that it appears to be ‘Something’. I will
call it Space.
10-33 sec, January 1
I do not know how to fill the space…with what! I am thinking about
it. It is obvious that I will end up with nothing because I have started
with nothing. I believe in the conservation of nothingness.
Now I can see the first drawback of my creation. Since I have created
Time, I am having guilty feelings whenever I am relaxing a bit longer.
How to minimize this kind of feeling?
Henceforth I have to be economical about the creation. I have two
basic stuffs: time and space. Let me see if the number of basic stuffs
can be reduced. Hence, I merge time and space to create space-time. Both
time and space are nothingness; still space looks so empty when time
appears to be so full with activities! Have I solved this riddle by
creating space-time?
10-30 sec, January 1
My work will be easier if I can put a certain amount of logic into creation. Unfortunately there is no do-it-yourself
kit available with an instruction manual to create the universe. I will
have some basic guiding rules based on economy, conservation, and
eternity … and then fill in the details of the universe, if time
permits.
Can there be a different way to do it? Do I have a choice? Different …
oh yes! Difference is the consequence of change. Change is the keyword.
If why is a truth then why not is also a truth. My creation will be a
continuous struggle between constancy and change. I redistribute the
energy generated in this struggle as matter and light. Let the light
illuminate the matter.
Nothing can exist by itself… hence they will interact to survive.
Stars and planets are elementary particles at a different scale;
elementary particles are stars and planets at the other. Infinitesimal
causes the change. Infinity holds the constancy. Creation is a bridge
between infinitesimal and infinity.

I am fed up with my creation. I have exhausted all possibilities for
interactions. I have lost my motivation. I have created such a vast
universe with myriad designs of spectacular things but none of these
spectacular things can understand my efforts. They can never appreciate
my work. Neither a star nor an electron can ever realize that I have
created it!
Why did I create such dumb things? They are busy all the time in
interacting with each other and have no time for me; no time to realize
the pain I have taken to create and sustain them. Doing further creation
is meaningless among these dumb fellows. I need feedback; I need
refereeing…
I created Life today. I also created Consciousness. I created my Referee!
7 PM, December 31
I have never realized the power of consciousness during my thought
experiments. Within the 12 hours I have seen its splendor. Its evolution
has followed the same pattern as the expansion of the universe. It
evolved in a regular manner for an amoeba to common man. However, during
the transition from the common man to the scientist it underwent inflation – an exponential growth in the language of man-made Mathematics.
Today morning I created an amoeba that was (1) struggling to live,
(2) trying to change itself according to the surroundings, and (3)
reproducing in a simple way by giving more importance to the product
than to the process of reproduction. There was no sex, let alone
opposite sex!
To my great surprise, within 12 hours it has evolved into a specimen –
called man – that is (1) struggling to understand ‘why to live?’, (2)
trying to change the surroundings according to itself, (3) attaching so
much of fanfare to the process of reproduction that the process has
become much more important by making the product merely a byproduct.
Moreover it is also fighting over ‘which sex should be called the
opposite sex?’
8 PM, December 31
When I experimented with life I was bored with the constancy … the eternity … of a year. I created life to bring in death.
I wanted them to live to die! What surprises me the most is that
although they live for only few minutes, they would still worry about
the meaning of life and how could they live to be of more consequence
compared to others of their species.
Not only this … they have found methods to transcend consciousness
beyond time and space. They have condensed the collective consciousness
in an objective way to what they call knowledge. They have
invented ways of passing this knowledge to the next generation. This is
simply remarkable and much more than what I have thought.
8:30 PM, December 31
I am not surprised the way things are going out of my hand. I am
simply amazed. I am simply amazed. I have never imagined in my wildest
dreams that consciousness will go through a second inflation during the
transition from a physicist to a particle physicist. These particle
physicists, especially the theorists are of a loftier breed. They aim to
understand everything in terms of few things!
They want to have an equation simple enough to be written as a slogan
on a T-shirt (that they wear during all seasons for all reasons) and
powerful enough to predict the fate of the universe during a commercial
break in a TV programme!
What I have taken the canvas of infinity to portray; they want to
draw the same on a T-shirt. Even creating the universe appears to be a
trivial ambition compared to this ambition of portraying the essence of
the universe on a T-shirt!
They want a Theory of Everything (TOE). How is it possible to have
such a theory when they have seen only my ‘toe’? I must appreciate their
courage to surpass me!
I will wait till 10:30 PM tonight to see if the scientists can create
a blade of grass in the laboratory starting from raw atoms and
molecules. In case they succeed, I have to take them more seriously and
retire at midnight before they eliminate me by asking their high school
kids the following question in exchange of 5 marks: “Describe the whole universe and give two examples.”
