HIDDEN FERMI PARADOX

IT was May the 13th of 2030, out of nowhere when a young man started sharing his believes and theories that planet earth is at risk and we need to start treating the situation before waking up late to discover the dystopia we’re living, When earth’s temperature reaches 2 C because of our inability to control the rise of greenhouse gasses, calling out to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, Otherwise it will be the end of the world and we will pass by calamities days.

He started to build a few shelters and skyscraper for people to survive, The function of the shelters and skyscrapers outer skin works in two ways, one is covered with a skin which is more similar to human’s skin, a breathing system adapted by causing a shape change once it realizes an increase or decrease of the temperature and the other one is an outer electromagnetic skin attracts the polluted air and dust, providing a clean fresh air for the inhabitants to breathe.

His theories occupied the daily news, it became an issue to discuss, at that time no one ever believed him, people started calling him insane, the government was pursuing him because of his unauthorized action toward the situation, terror and chaos were deployed everywhere in the city.

People were between a believer and a deception, the believers began to follow his action by preparing shelters underground, some were hiding in their houses terrified, while others immigrated out of the city and every day passed people thought it was the inevitable end.

The Horror continues…

Until they caught this man to end these rumors, they decided to kill him, but he was so confident that even if they killed him he will come back again one day to save the planet.

After he was murdered, people were shocked he was not bleeding at all, his heart beat sounded like

Doop loop...

Doop loop...

Doop loop...

Doop loop...

Doop loop...

Doop loop...

They freaked out and decided to do some anatomy on his body, they took a section of his head by cutting it into two vertical pieces and here was the big surprise!!

It was a kind of an unreadable map covering his entire brain, illusion swirl... Lots of mysteries there that no one can ever solve, the deeper they investigate the more worried they got, they agreed to store his corpse and keep it under constant control.

At that time they made an announcement to calm people down and live their lives normally, people were so happy that nothing of what he claimed had happened so far...

Days passed... 000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500,

Changes started to appear in his brain section, it was like a map developing itself, people become curious, earth’s composition started changing, a message for us that no one payed attention to, the analysts said it’s a trick that he left behind after his death to fall into and follow him blindly. They suppressed the issue again, as if nothing happened at all.

Quiet days full of peep sparrows out of my room window that was the last scene that I remember, after the onset of strange events in recent times...

The extinction of some species of animals and birds, regardless of the migration of the remaining ones out of the city.

Earthquakes...

Volcanos...

Floods...

High water levels...

Thawing ice...

The events continue…..

I was sleeping till I woke up to the sound of an explosion, my heart skipped a beat, I went to look out the window, it was totally muddy that I barely could see anything, I heard screaming, exacerbated my tension, I came out of the house to see huge smoky clouds covering the skies, a blowing dust and soil everywhere, there were thousands of dead bodies and people bleeding everywhere, a huge rock blazing, it was kind of comet that left a wreaked havoc, I walked along the street, police, tanks and ambulance were spreading everywhere.

Suddenly a strong glow just showed up...

I couldn’t look at it at all, I don’t trust my feeble memory, the street  was vibrating  under my feet I felt a heat transmission from the ground gripped my body, cracks overrun the street, the earth nucleus inflamed, getting ready to split, it was a non-matching mirror below the ground.

Was it a nightmare?

I was unconscious for a while, I heard a whistling sound “SSS  ... SSSS  ... SSS“, Made me feel disordered, my head was flashing with codes, destruction scenes, it was painful, I was not able to see what’s going on around me anymore ..

I started regaining my consciousness, I opened my eyes and I was not sure that I was on the same place before feeling muddle headed, I thought I woke up after years, there were strange beams of light in the sky, I ran from the intensity of fear, turning left and right looking for a human being.

As I walked by the end of the street, I was shocked, earth was divided into two, with a nucleus levitating in between, one Smoky destroyed part and the other one was totally green & sustainable.

A huge invasion, flying vehicles with a spaceship appearance, trying to save the living.

I remembered Enrico Fermi’s theory, the atomic scientist. If he was alive he would’ve seen his theories come to life. Fermi said: “Aliens have had more than enough time to pepper the Galaxy with their presence”, which had always prompted him to ask "where is everybody?"

Here they are Fermi, they have shown themselves to take us where “The environment is in us, not outside of us, the trees are our lungs, the rivers our bloodstream. We are all interconnected, and what you do to the environment, ultimately you do to yourself”. Said lan Somerhalder
