Black Hole

blaakhole 

A very peculiar man with square face was standing in front of a mirror – the mirror was black and in it the absolute white figure of that man was appearing.

‘Tu Tu’

Someone called and the man turned his face towards the direction from where the voice was coming. But strangely instead of turning his face, he rotated on his waist.
Now half of his body was facing the person who called and his legs were still facing that black mirror.

‘Nu Nu – why you disturbed me?’
‘ Man has again launched a satellite towards Mars’
‘Oh these stupid fellows trying hard to know the secrets of Universe.’
‘King SU SU has advised to correct their path so that their sensors do not catch us.’

‘These stupids think that they are progressing in knowledge of sending satellites – but they have yet to discover that we manipulate their paths, change their co-ordinates in such way that they get disillussioned and start believing that their scientific progress is right.’

‘ We don’t have time to waste, you know we have to start doing it the moment the satellite leaves earth atmosphere and it’s a very slow exercise so that do not catch the deviation we do in their calculated path.’
‘OK OK send Mi Mi in the control chamber, I am going there.’

Tu Tu went to the control room which was all full of various electronic gadgets and all the walls had big Virtual screens even the keypads were also virtual just below every screen. The symbols on the keypads were such that man could never understand them.

He started gazing at one screen which was showing the launch of satellite from India, keeping his eyes engrossed on the screen he started giving various commands which generated electromagnetic waves and were released as invisible beams via a laser gun and pointed towards the exit point of the satellite from Earth’s atmosphere.

While he was working a girl named Mi Mi entered the room and stood beside him.
‘Oh again Lavender – why don’t you use Rose one which I got you from earth.’ – without looking back Tu Tu said,
‘huh! Focus on your work- don’t try to act like a lover with me.’ Said Mi Mi who had an oval face- again a flat one.

Very strange body structure these people had. Males had square face and Females had oval face.
To differentiate between Names of Male and Female a male’s name had U after every alphabet and a female had I after every alphabet.

‘ok ok don’t sound like that earthy Cleopatra – I have given all commands – your job is to see that the laser gun releases the electromagnetic beams after every 75 km the satellite travels, this way the deviation would be nominal and those buggers at earth will not be able to catch what is happening.’

Giving Mi Mi the charge Tu Tu went to the King’s chamber.
When he reached King’s chamber – he got shock of his life – King was eyeing his sister in a way – which he could not decipher and this was happening for the first time.

Last month he had gone to earth and had captured a human being who was strolling on beach late in night as per Earth terms. The space ship Tu Tu used was invisible to naked human eye and even the best of radars could not detect it. King had taken the charge himself to study that human being.

Tu Tu got worried – perhaps that human being is infectious and has infected the thoughts of King. He must take corrective actions else the whole system would slowly get affected. In the night on that region when King was asleep. Tu Tu took that human being and left him in the space, he did not bother to leave him back on earth.

Next day when King came to know about what Tu Tu had done, he became very furious, but since Tu Tu was son of King , he kept quiet, later Tu Tu explained him why he did that and King also felt sorry for his behavior at the same time King was surprised- how his mind could be affected by a human being. He told Tu Tu to catch other one so that they could study Human Beings. Tu Tu said he would do that later fir let the contamination in the mind of King be completely cured. So king underwent treatment and was declared cured after a week – their method of curing was based on Electromagnetic Rays and this affected Kings health too, he became weak but recovered fast.

They had captured one more human being earlier but such affect was not noted on the scientist who was studying that human being. They concluded that few human beings are contaminated and only they release such mind waves which contaminate with the feeling of incest. That human being did not survive for a long time as the air around him did not have much of oxygen. But they had collected the specimen of what he exhaled and found that human beings consume Oxygen and release Carbon Dioxide.

This race which had captured human being survives on Carbon Dioxide so human beings and this race can co-exist as what one exhales is consumed by other. But this specimen had jolted them. For the sake of story I am calling this race as Alpha.

This event was soon forgotten.
After few weeks when King became sick , he called Tu Tu and told him to take over the control from him.
Tu Tu refused saying that King would be better shortly and there is no need of such a thing. But King told him to sit beside him.

King : Do you know why we play with the satellites that get launched from Earth and give those human beings a false impression that they are successful.
Tu Tu : It’s simple, logically thinking, we do not want them to advance technologically and become our competitor later.
King : Right, but have you ever understood we both have same problem too .

Tu Tu : we are consuming Carbon Dioxide fast and they are consuming Oxygen fast. Both are suffering from Population Explosion.

King : CO2 reserve in our atmosphere will last till 3000 light years but what after that. You have to now work on a mission to eradicate such contaminated human beings so that later we can co-exist. We have done exploration in almost half of the galaxy but we could find only Earth as the planet where we can get enough CO2 .
Make a detailed project and let’s discuss after 7 days. Make a team involve Nu Nu and Mi Mi also with you.

(Note their 7 days are equal to 7 months at earth)

Tu Tu started working on the project and King went into his own thoughts how they made Earth think that Black hole is as follows : The following is what the scientists at Earth say or have been made to believe:

‘Black holes are one of the biggest mysteries in the universe. We know that they are the last stage in a star’s life cycle and are formed when a star collapses under the weight of its own gravity. However finding black holes has been tricky. It has been just with the advent of radio telescopes that we have discovered that they can be located by the radioactive emission of matter that falls into them. This has helped us to be better able to find them. Answering the where is the nearest black hole is tricky as it is subject to change as technology for detecting black holes improves. At first scientist believed that the nearest black hole to Earth was the one at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. This seemed to be debunked by the discovery of a new black hole only 1600 light years away.

This new black hole is actually a rare type of black hole called a micro quasar. This new black hole has been named V4641 Sgr since it located in the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way. The reason it is visible is because of the star that orbits it. The gases of this star are steadily being absorbed by this black hole. These gases emit radiation that can be detected by Earth’s telescopes.


V4641 Sgr was first discovered as a black hole in 1999. Astronomers actually thought it was a star. However upon closer observation it was noticed that is brightness was six times greater than when first observed further observation through radio telescopes led astronomers to conclude that it had all the hallmarks of a black with an orbit star.


However the evidence proved that it is fifteen times further away than first anticipated. This just shows how in exact a science finding black holes still is. By their definition they are basically invisible so scientists looking for them have to rely on observations of matter. Theoretical models of the gravity of black holes give physicists and astronomers an idea of how matter would act near a black hole. Using these characteristics they try to find likely candidates. However the final proof is difficulty of detection. If the radiation produced cannot be traced back to its source then it is a strong candidate for being a black hole.’

First the Earth was made to believe that Black hole is 1600 light years away but when it was learned that Man is becoming more technologically advanced and can detect their planet King created such scenario that Earth started believing that their first calculation was wrong and that the location of their planet believed to be Black Hole is now 15 times farther away.

The treachery that King had observed in Mankind made him stay away from Earth and made Mankind have deceptive informations.
Though King wanted a situation of Co-existence but he feared Man – who could never be trusted.
Will Tu Tu be able to work out the project perfectly so that a win win situation could be arrived at is yet to be known.

And Black Hole as believed by Earth was a perfect disguise developed by Alpha to keep themselves hidden from the rest of Galaxy.
