Thoughts

I realized something ironic.

       In the whole universe, the only things that matter, besides of course matter(lolsry), are probably the laws of physics and how everything operates. Despite the rarity of life, it has virtually no impact whatsoever in the history of the universe. On the planet Earth, where humans have evolved(purely by chance, just as everything else has [but then again, not really by chance at all, as as long as the conditions are right, intelligent life was bound to exist]), we went from practicing merely what is necessary for the species to survive(which some people on the planet still do) to affluence and luxury. In this new world, all we need is education to get a job to earn a living. If we do not, we will likely live a "horrible" life. Apart from those who study physics, chemistry, etc, the laws of the world mean virtually nothing. Of course, we do need to learn physics for many different occupations necessary for the human population to survive under the current conditions, like mechanics. There is also the matter of studying physics to leave the planet when the sun envelops poor Mercury and Venus. But for one interested in simply living to enjoy life and not caring about the future or how everything works, all that matters is earning enough money to live, and then enjoyment or achievement. The irony is in the fact that in the scale of the universe, our lives here mean nothing, yet on Earth, the only thing we care about is living(I supose this is because we evolved to care about living...), not how the world works.

       An ant will care little for investing its time in the study of volcanoes, but little does it know, the next day a volcano shall erupt and burn his home to a molten crisp. If the volcano did not erupt, the ant would likely not even know that such an event could occur, as it is trying to bring food home for itself and the queen.

       I also found it interesting that if gravity worked in reverse, we would not find it weird at all. First of all, if we existed at all we would evolve somewhere where it would be possible for something to live(lol), if we were to become intelligent, then we would take it as it is, we wouldn't be mad that gravity was reversed, it would be normal in this case. The reason why this is is because I highly doubt we will ever discover why everything is why it is. Past a certain point, nothing matters to anyone. We learned about physics, electricity. We learned about cells and organelles. We learned about atoms, subatomic particles. We have theorized about what everything is made up of, strings? yet does this explain anything? Everything is made of strings, but what are the strings made of, if nothing, why are they there? There must be a reason why they are there, a reasoning could be that they're made up of something more, or maybe a god created everything. Why does the god exist? We may never know, and probably won't know during our lifetimes. But people are curious and will continue to pursue these interests. This may be because we have evolved to be curious, in fact, the curiosity allows us to explore sciences which will one day save the population, or whatever population exists at the time of the sun's expansion.

Re: Thoughts

what is happening to this topic

We want to learn about how the universe works to possibly exploit it to our advantage, and we like to learn about stem cells to help the disabled and to help us live longer. Everything those great minds research and experiment for the good for all of us, and maybe even the ones who are dead.

Re: Thoughts

personally i think that the meaning of life is to study the universe. let's say that this is the only universe, or if it isn't, that all universes follow the same laws of physics. the way that gravity, mass, inertia, quantum physics, elements, magnetism, radiation, waves and everything else works just perfectly to ensure life is ridiculously unlikely. and if we're going under the idea that physics is always the same, then is the one chance ever to get everything right and lead to sentient thought. because of this, i think that the universe is some way existing so that sentient beings can also come into existence. now this part is kinda hard to think about and requires some abstract thought, but imagine if we and other sentient aliens didn't exist, but this was still the only universe. there was nothing before it, nothing after it, and just all these laws working. what would be the point? why would this thing with all these laws even exist? why not just have not even empty space, but just non-existence! therefore i think that the universe led to us being created because it needed things to learn and understand it. to give itself some purpose. and so the true meaning of life is to learn and discover.

Re: Thoughts

I think of the universe as a contemplative journey of finding yourself, and finding those you agree with. The way everyone interacts with themselves tells you a lot about who they really are. We all see other people with our view thanks to our eyes, but everyone else thinks of everyone else as just everyone else (confusing, yes). Life is not meaningless, it's about discovering who you are, making the most out of every situation, praying to whatever deity you believe in, and being one with nature.
