It’s amazing how a monotonous film takes us into the world
of the unknown – a very interesting curiosity how the universe possibly
began or did it ever begin? The film proves how words can be truly powerful –
in this case, it makes every neuron in our brain work together to comprehend the
ever complicated questions of our beginning or take us outside of the earth and wonder about the universe and throughout the black hole.
It begins to the very traditional question of which
came first, the egg or the chicken? The question is quite simple but no one had
proven the answer yet. Even Einstein’s theory of general relativity or Stephen
Hawking’s on-going study had not answered it yet. It leads to deeper mind boggling
questions, “did the universe had a beginning? Where does the universe come from
and where is it going?”
The concepts used by Stephen Hawking in this film adaptation
are so complicated. Watching the entire film can cause mental vertigo which I find very stimulating and entertaining. Hawking’s ability to combine very vast and very tiny concepts that the universe are possibly made up of is awesome and amazing. But why does he bother doing all these possible non-sense? Hawking says that
studying the universe is worthwhile and the reward could possibly be having a
glimpse of “the mind of God.”
“If the unified theories are compelling that it brings about
its own existence, or does it need a creator? And if so, who created him?”
How the universe began may not be seen as questioning the existence of God. The perplexity and beauty of nature and of the energy and
radiation that the stars emit lead us to the admiration of this creation. The study
of the universe does not lead us to the answer but to more confusion and
questions our mind cannot handle. It leads us to praise the creator
for His power and creations. The ever
curious human mind may lead not to the understanding of the beginning of the
Creator and his creation but to the growth or beginning of faith to Him.
Sometimes, His creations are His ways to remind us of life. The
sunrise gives us the message of hope, a new beginning, and the continuity of
life. The sunset that tells us to take our minds off from everything and rest. It is also to show that the universe is so big and we are just one particle wondering how we are able to survive.
I like to think, that when I die, my soul could wander off the black hole to see what's in there. And I will give off radiation and energy to tell the human race what kind of place or time it is.

Before Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with ALS, he has been
bored with life and there was no anything worthwhile doing. When he came out of
the hospital, he realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things he could
do. Maybe humans were meant to go through this kind of phase. Boredom might
kill us. But when we get on our feet again and continue to evolve along with the universe,
we will realize that there are a lot of worthwhile things that we can do to
contribute to the human race.
I suddenly wondered why I am writing this. Boredom. I hope it's something worthwhile.
