What If Earth Sinked Into Blackhole
The concept of a black hole is truly fascinating! Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from them. They are formed when massive stars collapse under their gravity at the end of their life cycle. The gravitational pull of a black hole is incredibly intense, leading to the formation of a singularity at its center, where the mass is concentrated to an infinitely small point.

Illusion of time
Illusion is like a trick or a deception that makes us see or perceive something that is not really there or not as it seems. Illusions can happen with our senses, like when we see optical illusions that play tricks on our eyes, making us see things that aren't actually there. Illusions can also happen in our minds, where our thoughts or perceptions might not match up with reality. It's like a kind of magic that can make us question what we see or believe.

The future of Reasoning
The mind, where is it really? Is it just in your head, where your brain resides, remembering, planning, judging, problem-solving? But wait, you also remember and plan with other things, like objects around you. You solve problems and make judgments using a variety of tools and resources. The more you ponder this, the more you realize that while the brain is just a soft mass of fat and protein, no harder than a piece of tofu, the MIND is something much grander: it encompasses tissues, wood, stone, steel, and even people. Through communication, we can extend our minds to others, tapping into their memories, perceptions, and knowledge with a simple question. I don't have to master fixing cars, practicing medicine, or remembering everything because others are doing that for me, just as I help them in return. We are a species of individuals interconnected in a vast network of growth, a bustling mix of flesh and concrete. We are 'techno sapiens,' driven by our imaginations and passions, empowered by the sacred gift of REASON. Reason, they say, leads us to deeper knowledge and wiser choices. It has enabled us to extend life expectancy, reduce suffering, enhance collaboration, and promises to propel us forward to greater heights until eternity. Or does it? The organ we employ for reasoning took millions of years to evolve, yet the outcomes of reason progress swiftly and exponentially. In the upcoming decades, we anticipate constructing the equivalent of a new New York City every month. More concrete has been laid globally in the last two decades than in the entire 20th century in the US. This growth signifies an improvement in the quality of life worldwide, with electricity, goods, food, comfort, and transportation becoming increasingly prevalent and accessible.
