It was a beautiful evening during the fall in the year 2015. A young energetic Indian graduate from Massachusetts Institute of Technology working for the NASA bumped upon some great idea during his evening stroll,which he did not realise then was goin to revolutionise the area of space travel.
Science had shrunken and now we live in the 'Femto world'.Nagarajan,popularly known as 'Mrinal' among his colleagues was working on 'picotechnology'. The word pico had replaced nano in all fields. Space travel was becoming more and more sophisticated but at the same time more and more complicated. It was at this time he was working with the fuel division in NASA. He struck upon the idea of picofuel cells matrixed in a layer of ceramic, which trapped 905 of solar enrgy and generated power for the shuttle. He presented his paper and got a great deal of appreciation. It as the days when space trave was limited to a particular distance due to fuel cost and expenditure. His idea passed all the prototypes and was asked to present the paper to the President of U.S.A. He approved it and funded 400 billion dollars for the project. he started working on the project and to everyone's surprise he and his team completed the project well ahead of time. The space shuttle with the new technology soared high into the sky during mid-October,2019.
Two years passed by and now he was heading the Far distance Space Exploration Division.October 11,that year had a great surprise for him.It was his birthday and he had just returned home with his beautiful wife and twins after a visit to the famous Pittsburg temple. All his colleagues,including the head of NASA were standing in front of his house. He thought that they had just come to wish him but it turned out to be the day when Nobel Prize for Physics is announced every year. yes, he had won it that year. It seemed as though the whole universe was conspiring against him....................
