Philosophers, scientists, and many thinkers, have been trying to understand the secrets of the universe through the various disciplines of inquiry. And they mostly conclude that the universe lies in the strength of human resolve.

Universe, they also tell, is all about energy, time, and matter. Once we internalise this belief, the universe then moves quickly as we decide.

Tune in.
