"The universe is an equation. But is science missing the most important variable?"
The year is B.S. 2570. Humanity has conquered the Moon and stands on the precipice of transforming Mars into a second Earth. For Dr Pawan Aryal, the National Scientific Exploration and Research Centre's top scientist, reality is a series of logical progressions and scheduled milestones. In his world of cold data and intergalactic colonies, there is no room for the divine.
But when a mysterious stranger—shifting forms from an ancient deity to the legendary Galileo—appears in his private chamber, Pawan's rigid reality begins to fracture.
The visitor brings a haunting warning: scientific success without Emotion (Bhaav) is a foundation built on sand. As Earth withers under the weight of its own "elemental" progress, Pawan is challenged to look beyond his monitors and into the ancient wisdom of the Vedas and Puranas.
Can one man bridge the gap between high-tech colonisation and spiritual heritage before humanity becomes as cold as the machines that sustain them?
"The Missing Variable" is the opening story in the Yantratma anthology. It is a thought-provoking journey into the future of the soul, perfect for fans of hard science fiction, metaphysical mysteries, and Vedic philosophy.
