Scientists Think the Universe Is Alive - And It's Terrifying!

[@n4lra1]

I don't understand why the concept of a living universe, should be terrifying? I've always thought of it that way, never finding terror in my perception. As Carl Sagan said, "We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself", The Universe is, and always has been alive.

[@almartin4284]

I have always asked myself How big is big and how small is small? Infinite I think. God (for lack of a better word) is consciousness itself and we are existing within that consciousness. I think it interesting that the Bible story of Moses asking "god" who shall I say sent me. God's answer was "tell them "I AM" has sent you. More over that is my name forever.

[@jajahaha3215]

who the heck is Carol Sagan ? and don't tell me "her sister", and she said that ? not her brother Carl ? you state it has been always alive ? what do you know we other mortals don't know, scientist included !

[@RickLambert963]

@almartin4284 I don't have a definition of "God." The world view doesn't have a definitive definition of "God." Believing/disbelieving in something that has absolutely no clear definition is irrational, irrelevant, and fok'n insane. "I want to know the mind of God, the rest are details.” Albert Einstein. "All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." Max Planck. First cause is mind/consciousness. Mathematics existed before human minds. Mathematical laws were discovered not created. We started learning mathematics when we understood that two mammoths are better than one for the clan. We are still learning mathematics from nature/universe, it's part of science. Mathematics can only reside in the mind or minds as abstract ideas, concepts. We can only describe and illustrate concepts. Philosophy, science, engineering, and physics does its best at understanding nature/universe. The language of the universe is mathematical/geometrical. Science, engineering, and physics is spoken mathematically/geometrically. Mathematics requires a mind because math is conceptual. The universe must have a mind. If something can occur in math, it can occur in the physical world. Why does the universe obey mathematical laws? Consciousness, the mind of "God". Explain the hard problem of consciousness. Explain math without mind. You can't. The laws of mathematics are conceptual because "God's" thoughts are conceptual. The laws of mathematics are universal, they apply everywhere because "God" is omnipresent. The laws of mathematics are invariant because "God" doesn't change with time. "God" is beyond time and made time. "God" thinks mathematically, therfore the way "God" upholds the universe will be mathematical. The laws of mathematics are exceptionless because "God" is sovereign. There is no aspect of creation that is out of "God's" control. These geometries are like looking into the mirror of what we really are. Fibonacci sequence, Phyllotaxis, Plutonic Solids, Golden Spiral/Metalic Spirals, Flower of Life, Golden Circles, Seed of Life, Mandelbrot Set, Tetractys, Tree of Life/Ankh, Tetragrammaton, Eye of Horus, Nine Code, Vortex Math, Solfeggio Frequencies, Cymatics/Chladni Patterns, Turing Patterns, Zero-point, Sonic Geometry, Music Geometry, I Ching/Yin Yang, Trion Re', E8, Hopf Vibration, Primer Fields, Sir/Shri Yantra, Merkabah, Magic Squares, Precession of the Equinoxes/Great Year, Yuga Cycles, Time Wave Zero... Spiritualism and materialism are both parts of the veil. We are energy beings in a connected universe. Energy beings being bamboozled. One consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. Sui generous perspectives as the universe has solved for everything. One energy connected in a fashion called entanglement. I am sentient consciousness manifest in holographic fractal dimensionality as energy. I can neither be created or destroyed, only altered in form. As above, so below. As within, so without. A grain of sand in the universe, a universe in a grain of sand. All is in everything, everything is in all. I am that I am. I am.

Yep, just like virtualization in programming, which was created on this concept. Only render the piece that you have in the viewport, to save resources. Maybe it is a simulation, inside a supercomputer owned by 'someone'. And the energy required to run it is so vast, even that 'someone' doesn't have it, so they invented the 'virtualization' aka the double slit proton thing, so to preserve energy and have a lower overhead, only display things when observed.

[@g1motion]

Reality, and the Universe it contains, is an information process, set in motion and sustained by God for a purpose. Understanding the purpose is far more important than knowing anything about anything. The equations that control the physical relationship of material things, are 'solved' by the 'Heavenly Hosts' singing. Therefore, the behavior of physical things is wholly deterministic. Not so for living creatures. Their essence exists the same way as God but are separate from God. Studying the microscopic physical characteristics of Reality (CERN etc.), is somewhat like studying the characteristics of the Mandelbrot set. It provides clues, that's all, and expecting to find some ultimate materialist explanation is folly. However, God's purpose is revealed in Natural Laws, and understanding them is necessary for Mankind's continued growth.

I wonder what the scientists will think if and when they realize that not only is the universe alive, but that the universe isn't out there at all but in here, within you/us. At our core, we are Awareness/Consciousness/Life. Everything else is merely a reflection of that. The forms/objects are fleeting, and temporary like waves on the ocean. We are the Ocean itself and all living things are just the temporary waves dancing upon it, each wave believes they are separate individual beings and have forgotten they are the very ocean itself.

If the science community only would listen to random youtube comments, it will "change everything" as some videos put in their titles. Scientist just have studied many years for nothing, when its so simple. Watch random "sciency"-videos. Ancient Philosophers actually gave some statements which meant at least something. 5:25 - Modern philosophers tell you, that it could be, that this thing here could have a massive impact on that other thing that might exist so that the result could or could not be huge. That's not philosophy. That simple mind-fk or too much drugs.

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

@@guruware8612 What your talking about is KZbin influencers and video creators trying to get views to raise their ratings through clickbait and sensationalism. The news stations have been doing that since at least the early 70's where they will plug an alarmist view about something during a commercial break to get you to watch the news later and it always turns out to be nothing more than hype over things we already know about. I will say that in my experience scientists often lack the major requirement to be a scientist, they lack an open mind and curiosity. Most scientists I have met or seen on tv or YT are somewhat arrogant, believe they know all the answers, and have already made up their minds on subjects both inside and outside their body of knowledge. Most of which is based purely on their opinions and beliefs about a theory. Most scientists also avoid the big picture as they stay in their very narrow lane of expertise like a horse with blinders on. Real science should be open to any and all possibilities, if you ignore evidence because it conflicts with your beliefs or what you know of the established and accepted sciences then your not a scientist, period. I have seen celebrity scientific authorities like Neil Tyson DeGrasse make outrageous statements he considers fact when it is obvious that he never even researched the topic and it is far outside his wheel house. Science unfortunately has become a religion unto itself. They argue and fight amongst themselves, they believe theory's as absolutes and when questioned they refer to formulas and literature as if it were the bible and quote dead scientist as if they were saints. Science may collect data and analyze but at the end of the day it is all based on opinion and belief, like any other religion.

They confess to wisdom from above that took human body and as sacrifice went for all of us on the cross.

Your interpretation-that the universe is alive, evolving, and aware of itself through us-is a deeply empowering one. It aligns with the idea that we aren’t separate from the cosmos; rather, we are expressions of it, intimately connected to the whole. In that view, the universe isn’t something to be feared; it’s our home, our origin, and even our purpose. Seeing ourselves as a way for the universe to know itself brings a sense of unity and meaning that many people find comforting, giving life a broader significance and a sense of cosmic interconnectedness.

Think of it like this the night is not harmful it is required for life to exist on earth as much as the day or sunlight. Black is no more of a character trait than any other tone or color. One compliments the other and adds beauty to this world. We are however taught to fear the night or Darkness only because we can't all see well at night and it is stigmatized as the time when crime goes up. However violent crimes such as burglary theft robbery murder fights muggings etc. happen more often during the day. We fear the calculated ambush our ancestors had good reason to fear in their time. Not so much going to happen as easily today.

This is a great study adjacent to the importance of morale. Maybe especially as it relates to the ability of a team (football, military, etcetera) to achieve a goal.

Observer-Dependent Mass-Energy Equivalence (ODMEE) Δm = (ΔE / c²) × (1 + 1/γ) where: ΔE represents the energy converted from one form to another (e.g., from radiation to matter) c is the speed of light γ is the Lorentz factor, representing the observer’s relative motion (γ = 1/√(1 - v²/c²), where v is the observer’s velocity) The ODMEE formula suggests that the creation of matter from energy (Δm) is observer-dependent, as it involves the conversion of energy ΔE and the observer’s relative motion γ. The factor (1 + 1/γ) accounts for the observer’s frame of reference, emphasizing that the creation of matter is a relativistic process.
