Virtual Mystical Museum

The idea here is to create a science museum based on our understanding of science. Meaning, we would like to sweep of the table all those fancy models now currently on display in museums all over the world, and invariably glorifying scientists and brandishing their lame and often downright faulty explanation of sciences, and replace it with presentations of who things really work.

The original supreme scientists are emphatically the creator, the Supreme Lord, and there is no getting around it. It is he who has made all the things around us. Meaning, he the gentleman who burned the midnight oil and stained his drawings with coffee and laboriously, (if that is what it takes to drill this concept into dull minds) painstakingly designed, engineered, lathed, buffed, and spit polished his various creations. Not Neils Bohr, Newton, or Neanderthal man!

True, he, the original creator, is not around to take bows, but that does not mean we select charlatans in his place and glorify them. This would be akin to catching any old bald man with a long stick and glorifying him as Mahatma Gandhi. Indeed, the other day, on April first, the city hosted a show inviting audience to catch a glimpse of their favourite actors. The actors were their on stage, singing, dancing cavorting…but wait a minute, Salman Khan…why is he looking so skinny, and Dev Anand was actually looking young and not like a walking corpse… Finally, it dawn upon you that they were impostors, young men posing as the real actors, and that this indeed was one of those bizarre shows that small towns specialise in.

Our idea is to create a one-of-its-kind mystical museum in the world...Currently, we are scouting for a place and sponsors for such a project. In the mean time, we hope to put up a virtual museum right here on the web.

Any organization, industrialists, wanting to associate themselves with this grand project is welcome to correspond with the secretary of Sage, N. R. James at:
