Note: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, business, events and incidents are the products of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. This fiction happens in an imaginary planet "The Brown Planet". Up to now, no scientific or research organization has officially confirmed evidence for aliens existence. Most distances and numbers mentioned are fact but speed is exaggerated .The characters and their fields of study are explained, but in some dialogues, the speaker of each dialogue is not mentioned to give the reader the pleasure of guessing speakers. The author has tried to adopt the real physical principles, but the fiction is beyond the reality.
Poems should not always be old
They can have science in their fold
They should be simple, easy, fun
English is language of everyone
Appointment with the headquarters:
Alllang was walking slowly on the reddish brown and yellowish red igneous rocks and sands of pavement decorated by natural hot molten magma running beneath the glass shield. The rising steam of hot Sulfur, with distinctive odor similar to rotten eggs, guided through canalized pipes stretched miles away to supply a giant power plant, while the afternoon binary system Suns shone and reflected their blue and red rays of light directly on them from two different angles making shadows smaller than usual aphelion days. The bigger sun had risen earlier than the smaller one that day, but it was not the same everyday. Sometimes only one of the suns shone, the other one was on the opposite side of the brown planet, below the horizon. On the planet horizon, Alllang could see active volcanic eruptions and flames of fire arising in reaction to gravity of twelve rotating moons of different sizes and colors. The smallest moon was the nearest one, and its rotation around the planet was twice faster. It was the poets' favorite theme to write lyrics about the brown planet affairs with its smallest moon, rotating impatiently around her with love. Mistresses in the poetry of brown planet resembled it. The biggest moon, however, with its stability and majesty was the subject of their epics and a symbol of courage. Their gods resembled that.
The volcanic flames would disappear before dusk but their yellowish orange smoke could last for many hours later.
Brown planet of them, for their mission
Stood in sky, far from our vision
There were aliens living like cartoons
A planet with two Suns, and many of moons
Alllang was thinking about the idea that had popped into his mind that morning. He had spent hours elaborating it by modeling computerized algorithms and patterns and typing thousands of digital study and report pages. He had difficulty interpreting the faint signals of ambiguous radio messages received recently from a well-known planet. The signals had penetrated through a temporary wormhole that due to an unknown reason had accidentally twisted spacetime, keeping some of their original physical features. Nevertheless, it had changed mostly because of twist in spacetime (time warp) and unnatural time gap between two points of different dimension and nature. Otherwise, the signals were impossible to reach this universe. The distance was too far for light to travel. The people in the brown planet did not think that inhabitants of the blue planet could send comprehensible signals. The messages were in strange primitive codes of zero and one, on and off, with a guide attachment attached, and still based on some irregular logics that Alllang could not interpret easily. Alllang, however, trusted in his reliable intuition. He had studied different physical rules governing different parts of different universes under supervision of his professor; so based on the nature, frequency and intensity of waves and spectral analysis of light, neutrino and gravitons, he knew how decode the physical signals to reveal their covert contents. He was clever and curious; and his intuition relied on his acquired knowledge, complying new observations with old data, vise versa, in both top-down and bottom-up processing. Therefore, his intuition never disappointed him. Based on comparative modeling statistics, these signals belonged to a radio-emitting source sent many years ago, but been received and detected this morning. If it had travelled a natural trajectory, the species that had sent these signals might be living or not. A wormhole had made it possible to receive the signals in a miraculous way. By reference to elements of matter already discovered and recorded in Cosmo-chemistry, he concluded that the intelligent creatures of the blue planet had derived base of codes to interpret the messages from the features of single electron of the hydrogen element, but in an old fashion way. Because after more discoveries on the particles, each of these features used in encoding hydrogen divide to different categories. Now scientists considered hydrogen, the number one element on the Periodic Table, as a big structure composed of lots of quantum sub-particles. Alllang had read a lot about those creatures in Cosmo-anthropology atlas. . These events had Alllang conclude that they need to point exploratory signals to the blue planet to detect, record and analyze last changes. In vacuum, light travels at speed of 299 792 458 meters per second and that is the speed of light as observed and measured by humans. The aliens had been able to split light particles, photons, with zero mass, to their constituents and had studied them to learn how align their opposite charges and spins. They also had been able to peel rays of lights to arrive at the thinnest possible rays' propagation to drive them in desired directions. Therefore, the source of their lights usually did not propagate light in different directions in a wavelike manner, rather in a straight-line toward the target with minimal deviation and energy use. They even had controlled gravity in fully restricted situations through manipulation of gravitons to produce artificial dark matter, not visible particles carrying lots of dark energy. The other advance they had accomplished was producing pure matter from energy, and nothing more, something Einstein's E=MC2 predicted but no human has ever been able to.
The blue planet has recently been habitat to intelligent living creatures, either chimpanzees or humans. The last records of them in the atlas belonged to the time of antiquity; the eras that furry omnivore humans survived under the realm of dinosaurs and mammoths , living in caves to take shelter from wild animals, covered by leaves of trees to avoid sunburn in South Africa around 2.5 million years ago (Australopithecus). When men used to hunt wild beasts and women cooked meat, singing verses of victory to the flesh of preys to remind them that the age of fierce-looking wild beasts with sharp horns was coming to an end, marking the new era of fierce armed hunters with sharp guns.
The analysis of information collected by back tracing the type of logic used in the messages was compatible with the earlier evolution continuum in last humans DNA records. The scientists still had the samples of human's frozen DNA in their laboratory. The only problem was that the beautiful blue planet stood in an area of the universe that its wave-particle motions were limited to speed of light and frequency of wave. Scientist of the blue planet must have worked hard to send these signals. In this part of universe, however, Alllang and his fellow men were free of these limitations. Yet there was a long way for humans to overcome secrets of quarks and quantum physics to ride it in any direction they desire to.
Alllang was popular among the people he was going to meet. News had spread quickly, so everybody in the building knew what he had come for. Though the volcanic ramparts supported building, ashes covered the roof. The building accommodated lots of population in it, both for work and living. The brown planet was home to only to this species; there was no other living thing on the planet. Each small rectangular room had one person living in it, given to the person from the moment of birth. Every inch of the place used for building infrastructure mattered a lot, because hot magma covered most of the land. They had the technology to change magma to inhabitable residential area, but valued Mother Nature as it was and made the least possible modifications on it. The people did not belong to specific parents, rather divided directly like mitochondrial DNA. Machinery and robots did everything. The head-office autonomous software managed, programed and controlled works centrally. The food was energy-efficient, processed, concentrate and ready to digest, piped directly to each room. Due to lack of bacteria in environment, and mineral content of foods, rather than organic ingredients, the food did not ever spoil and was expiration-date-free. To overcome shortage of natural resources and optimize metabolism and food efficiency, all the people in that planet had twin symmetrical internal organs of body. Two stomachs, two hearts, two kidneys and two livers. That helped them compensate the lack of intestinal flora in their bowels .On the contrary, their external body organs were single. They were originally born with mono eye, one eyebrow, mono nostril, one multipurpose hand, and one leg for less entropy and more energy efficiency. Their mono eye, however, was specialized to see and shift automatically through clear-sighted visions received from all eleven dimensions of spacetime. Some of the spatial dimensions were temporary and volatile; but they comprehended how to shift vision between them in vast places. Due to high density of dangerous chemicals in the air and lack of harmless dust, inside their mono nostril did not have hair, but had multilayer membrane filters. Their anaerobic breathing made them adapt to Oxygen-free environment. The only exception was their heads. All of them had three heads. Symbiosis and cellular coexistence in their cerebral hemispheres had not evolved and each hemisphere occupied a separate head. The size of heads was not equal. Left-head dominants had their bigger heads in their left side. They had a third similar head, smaller, standing in the middle of their body, home to their cerebellums to coordinate their internal organs. It was the only difference among the people of that planet. The journey of evolution on the brown planet had a different route than the blue planet. Although these creatures were perfect and boundless in use of memory and speed of learning, their left and right hemispheres both worked based on routine and pre-defined algorithms, bearing little or no flexibility or innovation, so they calculated better than any calculators did. They knew almost everything but they did not use mathematics, because they learned everything holistically without modeling them scientifically. They did not need specialty; they usually mastered all possible knowledge in pure form in short time.
With no hesitation, Alllang headed toward headquarters department, a big penthouse. Dozens of pairs of heads, long and short, turned toward him as he opened the door. He stood at the door for a few seconds. Today members of headquarter had chosen to be green-skinned. It was a good sign. The head of headquarters stepped toward him .They shook hands and then he showed Alllang to take a chair. Alllang sat on a chair.
- Alllang you have requested us to arrange a meeting. We, the board of headquarters, have already read the abstract of your proposal and now here we are to hear more about your project. In your proposal, you have written that the fate we have assigned for human future needs a revise. The board of headquarters will gladly hear you. We want to know how you came to this conclusion, and what is your suggestion to resolve it?
-First, I will thank you all for the opportunity granted to me to pose my proposal and will appreciate the board of headquarters for letting me discuss my ideas freely and openly.
Aliens were gathered to decide on future
Humans are on earth, they sitting on chair
Let's decide what future of Earth be like
Need to study their science, nature and psyche
- Your presence here does not mean we have taken your proposal for granted. However, as we, always care fates of creatures in all life-supporting planets more than they themselves do care for; we considered it our obligation and commitment to take any required action for bringing a better future for humans. We admit your proposal was one of the best ones received in the millennium. We had modified sequences of genes in humans and chimps to evolve and overcome genetic deformations. It is our honor to declare that ever since man has been enjoying a great deal of freedom to think and choose for his own welfare without a direct imposition from us. We want to understand what humans have learned. What are their worldviews and philosophy of life? In general, we want to know whether humans or we will be the rulers of the future. Alllang, in your report , you have written that in the course of past million years, humans have evolved and adapted themselves to nature as planned by us, even better than most optimistic plans.
- Yes, They have. They have managed to proceed more and more to seize control of nature and animals. As I suggested in second chapter of my proposal, in comparison to all intelligent beings modified by us in billions of planets in other universes, humans have gone far more than we expected. Now we see humans a direct threat or opportunity, either an enemy or a friend. That depends not on our current situation, but on humans'. The increasing speed of evolution, the type of autonomous intelligence adopted for humans and the eligibility and capability of earth for more growth, has enabled human to extinct millions of species in a fierce competition for survival. We have witnessed such cruelty happens among inferior and subordinate inhabitants of other planets too, but the case of humans is the only one in which they have begun massacring their own species brutally. Greed, racism, incest, murder, violence and many other abnormal behaviors and mental disorders leading to psychological traits associated with wildlife. The received signals lacked metagenomes of most creatures, indicating a different ecology and kingdom that our last records, while the former signals we received million years ago had plenty of life-form influences on the signals.
Alef told the board of directors:
- Earth is a planet with one sun only .
-Really? All systems around us are using two or more stars. Then how are seasons on earth?
- Sun does not cover a hundred percent of Earth surface, so there are poles with permanent winters and equator with permanent summer.
-You mean magma is frozen in the polar surfaces?
-There is no magma or lava
