12 people died in a mine blast and its aftermath. Those people seem to have left a note to their loved ones. You know they say, if you are given only a few moments to live, you'll only think of your loved ones and not about how your project will turn out or the places that you didn't visit. Apparently, all of your live will flash before you in an instant, from your childhoold to adulthood to parenthood and so forth. When we are born, we don't feel anything. It is an occasion of joy. Death is just the opposite. I wonder how a person feels when he/she is ready to leave this world and right at the moment when their soul departs their body. Death is the ultimate truth. We all have to face it at some point. I don't want to think too much about it, but it is very sad when you realize that the world doesn't have someone the next minute they are dead. It must have been a terrible loss for the miners' families. The one guy that survived is apparently in a coma, because his vital organs are oxygen deprived. Wonder how his life is going to unfold.
My sympathies go out for such families; for families that have lost thousands of their men in wars and battles; for families that have lost their loved ones in some freak accident. One wonders what life is all about 'cause one day you'll be gone. Whether you'll be remembered or not is not something that you'll know. Mozart's 250th birthday will be celebrated this month. Would he know that? I mean, he has literally lived in the form of his compositions for more than a couple of centuries after his death in 1791. But what does this mean to him? Would he have known when dying that his music will not die with him?
How would have the astronauts that died in the Columbia mission felt? I mean, it is terrifying to think about those moments. How would have the passengers on the death-bound flights that collided with the world trade centers felt? I mean they knew they were going to die - what a terrible situation to be in. I couldn't help but question the purpose of life. What is the big point in coming in and going out of the world? Where do our thoughts form? Why do they form?
There are a bunch of physicists that are creating this mega tunnel, costing 2.7 billion dollars, to test the presence of Higgs boson. That would be quite an amazing feat, when it is accomplished. They better be sure that this thing exists 'cause some governments have poured in so much money on it. Yet, how much light would the Higgs boson shed on life and death?
