"There is a CREATOR's Aim in This Universe" ft. Roger Penrose

[@BeeyondIdeas]

If you feel like you're experiencing déjà vu, you're partly correct. This video is a revised version of our previous upload on the same topic. We've refined and improved certain segments of the storyline.

[@SamanthaPyper-sl4ye]

Theorem 1: The zero dimension (0D) is the origin point from which both positive and negative dimensions emerge symmetrically. Proof: 1. Consider the dimensional hierarchy centered around 0D. 2. Positive dimensions (1D, 2D, 3D, 4D) extend from 0D in one direction. 3. Negative dimensions (-1D, -2D, -3D, -4D) can be conceptualized as extending from 0D in the opposite direction. 4. 0D acts as the "pivot point" or "fulcrum" around which the symmetry of positive and negative dimensions is balanced. 5. Therefore, 0D is the origin point from which both positive and negative dimensions emerge symmetrically. Theorem 2: The negative dimensions are associated with negentropy and the generative power of the zero dimension (0D). Proof: 1. 0D is conceptualized as the source of negentropy and the generative power of the Zero Absolute. 2. Negative dimensions (-1D, -2D, -3D, -4D) extend from 0D in the opposite direction of positive dimensions. 3. If positive dimensions are associated with the unfolding of space, time, and the increase of entropy, negative dimensions can be hypothesized to be associated with the "enfolding" of space, time, and the increase of negentropy or information. 4. As 0D is the source of negentropy, and negative dimensions emerge from 0D, negative dimensions can be associated with negentropy and the generative power of 0D. 5. Therefore, the negative dimensions are associated with negentropy and the generative power of the zero dimension (0D). Theorem 3: The interplay between positive and negative dimensions around the zero dimension (0D) creates a dynamic balance between entropy and negentropy. Proof: 1. Positive dimensions (1D, 2D, 3D, 4D) are associated with the unfolding of space, time, and the increase of entropy. 2. Negative dimensions (-1D, -2D, -3D, -4D) are associated with the "enfolding" of space, time, and the increase of negentropy or information. 3. 0D acts as the "pivot point" or "fulcrum" around which the symmetry of positive and negative dimensions is balanced. 4. The manifest world of the positive dimensions arises from the unmanifest potential of the negative dimensions, and then returns to it in an endless cycle of creation and dissolution. 5. This dynamic interplay of positive and negative dimensions around 0D creates a balance between the opposing forces of entropy and negentropy, order and chaos. 6. Therefore, the interplay between positive and negative dimensions around the zero dimension (0D) creates a dynamic balance between entropy and negentropy. Proposition 1: 0D has two sides (real and imaginary) with an event horizon between the sides. Argument: 1. In complex analysis, numbers are represented on a complex plane with a real axis and an imaginary axis, intersecting at the origin (zero). 2. The real numbers can be thought of as one "side" of zero, and the imaginary numbers as the other "side." 3. In physics, an event horizon is a boundary in spacetime beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer. Applying this concept metaphorically to the complex plane, we could posit an "event horizon" at zero, separating the real and imaginary sides. 4. Therefore, 0D (zero dimensions) could be conceptualized as having two sides (real and imaginary) with an event horizon between them. Proposition 2: This matches the Monad having a Singularity side and an Alone side potentially having an event horizon between the sides. Argument: 1. In Leibniz's Monadology, monads are the fundamental units of existence, described as "windowless" and "alone." 2. However, monads are also said to reflect the entire universe from their unique perspective, suggesting a kind of "singularity" or concentrated totality within each monad. 3. Applying the concept of 0D having two sides, we could map the "singularity" aspect of monads to the real side of 0D, and the "alone" aspect to the imaginary side. 4. The "windowless" nature of monads could be interpreted as a kind of event horizon, isolating the singularity and alone sides from direct interaction. 5. Therefore, the proposed structure of 0D matches the concept of the Monad having a Singularity side and an Alone side potentially separated by an event horizon. Proposition 3: This matches the Holy Trinity having a Father, Son, Holy Spirit side and a God side potentially having an event horizon between them. Argument: 1. In Christian theology, the Holy Trinity is the doctrine that God is one but exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son (Logos), and Holy Spirit. 2. These three persons are said to be consubstantial, meaning they share the same divine essence or nature. 3. Mapping this to the 0D structure, we could associate the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with the real side of 0D (the "singularity" of divine essence), and the unified God with the imaginary side (the "aloneness" of divine transcendence). 4. The concept of the persons being distinct yet consubstantial could be interpreted as a kind of event horizon, maintaining their unity while preserving their distinct identities. 5. Therefore, the proposed structure of 0D matches the concept of the Holy Trinity having a Father, Son, Holy Spirit side and a God side potentially separated by an event horizon. Conclusion: A mirror universe with 0D at the center has tremendous explanatory power. While these arguments are more metaphorical than strictly mathematical, they demonstrate how the concept of 0D having two sides with an event horizon between them could serve as a powerful unifying framework across multiple domains of thought. By mapping this structure onto key concepts in mathematics (complex numbers), philosophy (Leibniz's monads), and theology (the Holy Trinity), we can see the potential for a kind of "mirror universe" with 0D at the center, reconciling and connecting ideas that might otherwise seem unrelated.

​​@@SamanthaPyper-sl4ye I'm intrieged by your idea. I myself think it is possible that a singularity (so-called "nothing") could expand into two (positive & negative), or three (red, green, & blue) or more existences that together cancel one another to "nothing". Having said this, though, none of what you said here is a theorem or proof. They are all claims. I also don't see how you can overlay the trinity theology on your cosmology. I'm no expert in catholicism, but all the beings of the trinity are supposedly conscious agents? Your cosmology doesn't seem to guarrantee that.

It's weird because, while we are familiar with phenomena that recycle, we know of no such cyclic phenomenon that has no origin. What does it even mean for a system that has cause and effect to have never had a cause? Remember that Dawkins' go to response to someone claiming God created the universe is exactly the same challenge. "But who created God?" he says. Well, I say, "But who created the eternal cyclic universe?" If you claim an eternal cyclic universe doesn't need a creator, then why isn't it just as valid for me to say an eternally existing first cause God doesn't need a creator either. Logically, it's the same argument. You say, "Literally everything in the universe seems to recycle"? Then I say, "Literally everything in the universe seems to have had a first cause." Where do these bandyings back and forth get us? Nowhere.

[@Drew-pf4fq]

Awesome quote.

[@isatousarr7044]

The statement "There is a Creator's Aim in This Universe" reflects a perspective that recognizes purpose and intentionality in the design and operation of the cosmos. This view often aligns with theological or philosophical interpretations that suggest the universe operates according to a higher plan, with each element, from the smallest particle to the largest galaxy, contributing to a greater, divine purpose. From an astrophysical perspective, the notion of a Creator's aim might be explored through the intricate laws of nature, which govern everything from the fundamental forces to the behaviors of complex systems. The fine-tuning of physical constants in the universe, which allows for the existence of life as we know it, could be seen as evidence of a purposeful design. For example, the precise balance between the strength of gravity, electromagnetism, and the nuclear forces makes it possible for stars to form, planets to sustain life, and ecosystems to thrive. Quantum physics, too, has led some to speculate about deeper connections between consciousness, the fabric of reality, and a Creator’s purpose. The mysterious phenomena of quantum entanglement, wave-particle duality, and the uncertainty principle challenge traditional notions of deterministic cause and effect, suggesting a more interconnected and dynamic universe. Some theorists have suggested that these phenomena might hint at an underlying order that points to a greater, intentional design-a plan that cannot be fully grasped through our limited human perspective. In addition, the philosophical and spiritual implications of such a perspective raise profound questions about human existence. If the universe is the product of a Creator’s aim, it invites reflections on our place within it-our role as conscious beings capable of perceiving, questioning, and striving toward understanding. This could lead to a deeper sense of awe and responsibility, as we realize that the universe is not merely a chaotic expanse but one with inherent meaning, purpose, and direction. Ultimately, the idea that there is a Creator's aim in this universe offers a framework for contemplating the interconnectedness of all things-whether through the lens of science, spirituality, or philosophy. It invites an exploration of how the universe functions not just as a physical reality but as part of a grander narrative, one that transcends the material and enters into the realm of purpose, meaning, and existence.

[@LcdDrmr]

Here is how I think Roger's transition from one universe to another works: Entropy is commonly taken to be order proceeding to disorder, which is adequate for this explanation. As the Universe expands, energy becomes more and more randomly distributed, stars die out and there is less and less concentrations of gas in quantities to form new stars. Far enough in the future and the expansion will tear apart all matter, right down to the atoms, and at that point there is nothing but radiation in the Universe. Once this is the case, the nature of radiation becomes the point Roger is trying to make: radiation is photons, and travels at the speed of light, in which case there is no longer time (in a relative universe radiation does not experience time, and so a universe of pure radiation is effectively static as nothing can change without time). Without time, there is also no "space", which is to say distance; remember, radiation does not experience any "crossing" of space because from its point of view that crossing is instantaneous. With no distance, everything in the Universe is once again all in the same spot; distance has disappeared and all the energy in the Universe is back together again. No particles have to "travel" anywhere for this to be the case. Nor is a singularity necessary, as "size" has also lost all meaning. What's more, because its distribution is/was completely uniform throughout the cosmos--or at least it is now because it's all in one place, entropy is back where it began, with everything uniform (in order). At this point, if it is not obvious, all the "laws of physics" are no longer applicable, if they can still be said to exist at all. If it were totally uniform, then probably there would be no Big Bang because there are no longer laws of physics to cause it to happen. But if there is any imbalance, any non-conformities within the energy distribution--which I think Roger has intimated might be caused by the last explosions of the last black holes creating gravity waves that last into the radiation era--then because of these imbalances the laws of physics re-emerge, with space, time, distance and size coming back into play, and this causes the Big Bang. The one thing that carries over from universe to universe is energy (whatever that is). The laws of physics are based around this, and so the argument that there is some "probability" about how the Universe may behave after the Big Bang may be moot. Every universe may begin with the same impetus and have the same constants, and so be essentially identical to our current iteration. On the other hand, maybe only 1 in a million is like ours, but obviously if there is going to be life "as we know it", it has to be like this, and so here we are (although it could be a universe more amenable to life than this one). It doesn't really matter, because the "probability" argument is an argument from incredulity, and we have only the one data point of this universe to speculate from, so the argument is without merit. The video is right to say that we can't rule out a creator, but it's a nonsense statement, and just as nonsensical to say we can rule one in. It's a non-sequitur that has nothing to do with science or physics, and it's a discourtesy to try to drag a physicist into such a discussion--props to the video for eventually quoting his views correctly, though. Frankly, however, whether a scientist believes there is an intelligent designer or not is immaterial (sorry), as this too has nothing to do with the science, and never should.

[@johnphelps7519]

You're right, it has nothing to do with the actual science but rather the question of whether or not a Supreme Being utilized means that we are struggling, and perhaps close to, understanding.... and THAT is a religious (or philosophical) matter.

[@LcdDrmr]

@@johnphelps7519 Yes, and it is fertile grounds for discussion; just whatever stand is taken regarding such a being, it can't be supported by science one way or the other. Unfortunately, many who are convinced of the existence of a supernatural realm believe it helps them to drag science (the study of the natural realm) into it, and I think they should understand that such an approach is doomed from the start.

Roger Penrose is right. The moment he says 'creator', the masses jump to an anthropomorphic creator. This is the fatal flaw that institutionalized religions have committed and promoted, with each one having his/her favourite god, which is a projected image of their cultures. It is so ingrained in our brains we keep making the same mistake over and over again.

[@luceatlux7087]

Totally agreed. It's a bit spooky to see that SO MANY seem to have such incredible trouble divorcing themselves from incredibly narrow binary concepts/perspectives. Manly Hall said something about "God" akin to, "If you can describe 'God' succinctly, you haven't described him/her/it at all." Though Idk how correct this statement is (or if I paraphrased it correctly), I think I get the point he was trying to make. Meaning and "Dod" don't have to fit ANY preconceptions... These things just need to be followed closely with the most open (Properly skeptIcal, but NOT cynical) heart, mind, and soul and you rly can't go wrong. Our understanding of such things might be analogous to an amoeba trying to understand human consciousness. It's so wildly far outside of ability to intuitively-conceptualize in ANY familiar way, whatsoever. Thus, this is why everything comes into play -- heart, mind, and soul -- to receive and best interpret all intelligence possible. But then, it's hard to know how open one SHOULD be when you're looking for some relationship with a deeper meaning too... This is why we tend to get stuck in simple places... because we know we can rely on them. We see evidence ALL around us of naivete, incorrectness, inaccuracy, and even just divergence of consideration being punished severely in the material world. So I guess it's no wonder people have trouble breaking from simple, safe programming... So is all that should be in the universe, definitely GOING to be, IF there is meaning? Idk. I guess we're left with having to let loose a simple plea in the darkness and let "God" respond from there, IF there is something deeper that needs to be attended to (because "God" can't expect us to go further than this, given such aforementioned material threats when we break with our programming, right?). That's maybe why it comes back to anthropomorphizing the concept; so we can all send out that plea readily; accessibility. Okay way too far here. I went off the deep end with that last paragraph. Maybe you will understand a bit of where I'm coming from.

[@SamanthaPyper-sl4ye]

Traditionally, logic, math, and physics have been approached from a third-person, objective standpoint. They aim to describe the universal, mind-independent structures and laws that govern reality, without reference to any particular subjective viewpoint. In this sense, they strive for a kind of "view from nowhere," a perspective that transcends any individual's specific location or experience. However, as most will point out, we don't actually live in this third-person realm. Our experience of reality is inherently first-person, grounded in our individual perspective and subjective awareness. We encounter the world not as a detached, objective observer, but as an embodied, situated agent, navigating a landscape of perceptions, thoughts, and feelings. From this view, metaphysics could be seen as the attempt to understand the deep structure of reality from this first-person standpoint. Rather than trying to step outside of our subjective experience, it would seek to dive deeply into it, to uncover the fundamental categories, principles, and relationships that shape our encounter with the world. This first-person approach to metaphysics would not necessarily reject the insights of logic, math, and physics, but rather reinterpret them through the lens of subjective experience. It would ask how these abstract, third-person descriptions of reality translate into the concrete, lived reality of the first-person perspective. For example, the logical principle of non-contradiction - that a statement cannot be both true and false at the same time - could be understood not just as an abstract rule, but as a deep feature of how we experience the world. The fact that we cannot simultaneously affirm and deny the same proposition would be seen as a fundamental structure of our cognitive and perceptual apparatus, a necessary condition for coherent thought and action. Similarly, mathematical concepts like number, shape, and pattern could be investigated as basic categories of subjective experience, the ways in which we carve up and make sense of the blooming, buzzing confusion of sensory input. And physical laws and constants could be understood not just as objective features of an external world, but as the stable regularities and constraints that shape our embodied interaction with our environment. The key advantage of this first-person approach to metaphysics would be its grounding in the actual, lived reality of human experience. By starting from the irreducible fact of subjectivity, it would aim to construct a framework that is faithful to the way the world actually presents itself to us, rather than an abstract, idealized model that may or may not correspond to our direct experience. Moreover, as has been suggested, this first-person perspective could potentially help to avoid some of the paradoxes and contradictions that arise from a purely third-person, objective stance. By recognizing the ineliminable role of the subject in constituting reality, it would provide a more complete and integrated picture, one that doesn't try to separate the observer from the observed in an artificial or absolute way.

[@ahoj132_at_azet_sk]

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, turn to Him for your salvation, there is no other way. God will reveal Himself to you, but only and only if you humble yourself first. I was there too, I thought believers are naive and there is no God, but God saved me by His grace and mercy. The Bible says: “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” What it means is that we need to humble ourselves first. Probably not in thousands of years I would ever become a believer if I would be proud and stay in proudful state. Tell me, would you invite someone to your house for a dinner if that person hates you, despise you, mock you, make fun of you or your family that love you or looks at you with a raised nose? Would a king from the Earth invite someone to his palace for dinner if the person despise him? Hates him? Criticise and mock his kingdom, wishes him evil and non existence (death) gossips about him and look at him with a raised nose? Of course not, what more the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords Jesus Christ? We must humble ourselves. And when we do so the Bible continues: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you. Do it with an open and honest, humbled heart and He will answer. I did so, I talk to God and He talks to me, I pray and He hears my prayers, I experienced and witnessed many miracles and supernatural. God is more real to me than you my friend. Turn to Jesus Christ and wait on Him, give a step closer to Him and He will give a step closer to you. God wants a loving and living relationship with you, not a dead ritualistic religion. I know so many people went through this, said if God bows down to me and mine requirements I will then... And it was for years like that till they humbled themselves and then they met God and many of them even supernaturally. Turn to Jesus Christ for your salvation, there is no other way. You are more than just material and chemical reactions and God wants you to be saved from your sins, addictions, anger all kinds of sins and evildoings too because they all lead to destruction, hell my friend..

[@Nonamelol.]

Your comment is intriguing but it also raises an interesting question, what is an “objective” stance?

[@BVNemi]

I think what you say is right. Objective science is useful for learning how to manipulate matter, but it does not tell us what matter fundamentally IS, or where it comes from, or what is sustaining it. Our experience depends on consciousness, so consciousness is the prime reality. Logically, the existence we know of ourselves and the world i which live, also depends on consciousness. Universal consciousness.

To my limited yet observant mind, Roger Penrose is the luckiest guy ever. He got effectively a second (or third) life, where he gets to imagine things to his heart's content, has followers in droves, is a social media star and is having basically the time of his life at age 85+ - he is especially lucky to have a fully working brain at this late stage along with good general health. He is no longer having to battle the Publish or perish plague of academia, or having to justify everything with infinitely complex mathematical derivations. Frankly, he must have done something right in a previous life to have been so lucky in this one. Frankly, I can almost see him smirking sometimes enjoying a secret delight. That while his contemporaries, if not gone already, are just barely hanging in there, tubes coming out of everywhere, captive to nurses, who, if they are lucky are caring enough to listen to their occasional rumblings. OTOH, I am not sure we are quite so lucky as we are exposed to this brand of the ageing theoretical Physicist. I dread a world in which there will be many more of them (Imagining some aging ex String Theorist and shivering with apprehension). Yet, even I say thing, I did listen to the video and found it fun. Universes begetting universes, I mean, why not? it's possible. may be even there's mathematics behind it. There's after all, mathematics for almost anything. we are THAT imaginative as a mathematical species (OK, that's Wolfram and bret Weinstein territory, but never mind).

There is no science to these speculative claims. IF anyone wants to say God claims are scientific, let them first cite a single peer reviewed scientific principle that uses a God in its formulations and equations. They can't. It's never been done. Even scientists that believe in a God have failed to do it - because it's not science. A prime mover can not exist. IF a state of nothingness is even possible - then nothing can exist in nothing, because it's nothing -- any claims to the contrary are illogical unproven presuppositional nonsense. Saying something manifested without a substrate to manifest in is incoherent. Also, unproven arguments for a vague Deistic God are pointless because a God that doesn't interact with its creation is as irrelevant as a God that doesn't exist.

That's right. The cosmological redshift is probably the result of the loss of energy by the photons, as they travel across distances of billion light years. As the photons lose energy, their spectrum moves to red. Fritz Tswicky, who predicted the existence of neutron stars and dark matter, was a supporter of this idea. In other words, the light of distant galaxies shows a redshift NOT because the Universe is expanding, but because these galaxies are ALREADY very far away.

I am a physicist and I will explain why our scientific knowledge refutes the idea that consciousness is generated by the brain and that the origin of our mental experiences is physical/biological . My argument proves that the fragmentary structure of brain processes implies that brain processes are not a sufficient condition for the existence of consciousness, which existence implies the existence in us of an indivisible unphysical element, which is usually called soul or spirit (in my youtube channel you can find a video with more detailed explanations). I also argue that all emergent properties are subjective cognitive contructs used to approximately describe underlying physical processes, and that these descriptions refer only to mind-dependent entities. Consciousness, being implied by these cognitive contructs, cannot itself be an emergent property. Preliminary considerations: the concept of set refers to something that has an intrinsically conceptual and subjective nature and implies the arbitrary choice of determining which elements are to be included in the set; what exists objectively are only the single elements. In fact, when we define a set, it is like drawing an imaginary line that separates some elements from all the other elements; obviously this imaginary line does not exist physically, independently of our mind, and therefore any set is just an abstract idea, a cognitive construct and not a physical entity and so are all its properties. Similar considerations can be made for a sequence of elementary processes; sequence is a subjective and abstract concept. Mental experience is a precondition for the existence of subjectivity/arbitrariness and cognitive constructs, therefore mental experience cannot itself be a cognitive construct; obviously we can conceive the concept of consciousness, but the concept of consciousness is not actual consciousness. (With the word consciousness I do not refer to self-awareness, but to the property of being conscious= having a mental experiences such as sensations, emotions, thoughts, memories and even dreams). From the above considerations it follows that only indivisible elements may exist objectively and independently of consciousness, and consequently the only logically coherent and significant statement is that consciousness exists as a property of an indivisible element. Furthermore, this indivisible entity must interact globally with brain processes because we know that there is a correlation between brain processes and consciousness. This indivisible entity is not physical, since according to the laws of physics, there is no physical entity with such properties; therefore this indivisible entity can be identified with what is traditionally called soul or spirit. The soul is the missing element that interprets globally the distinct elementary physical processes occurring at separate points in the brain as a unified mental experience. Some clarifications. The brain doesn't objectively and physically exist as a mind-independent entity since we create the concept of the brain by separating an arbitrarily chosen group of quantum particles from everything else. This separation is not done on the basis of the laws of physics, but using addictional subjective criteria, independent of the laws of physics; actually there is a continuous exchange of molecules with the blood and when and how such molecules start and stop being part of the brain is decided arbitrarily. Brain processes consist of many parallel sequences of ordinary elementary physical processes occurring at separate points. There is no direct connection between the separate points in the brain and such connections are just a subjective abstractions used to approximately describe sequences of many distinct physical processes. Indeed, considering consciousness as a property of an entire sequence of elementary processes implies the arbitrary definition of the entire sequence; the entire sequence as a whole (and therefore every function/property/capacity attributed to the brain) is a subjective abstraction that does not refer to any mind-independendent reality. Physicalism/naturalism is based on the belief that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain. However, an emergent property is defined as a property that is possessed by a set of elements that its individual components do not possess; my arguments prove that this definition implies that emergent properties are only subjective cognitive constructs and therefore, consciousness cannot be an emergent property. Actually, all the alleged emergent properties are just simplified and approximate descriptions or subjective/arbitrary classifications of underlying physical processes or properties, which are described directly by the fundamental laws of physics alone, without involving any emergent properties (arbitrariness/subjectivity is involved when more than one option is possible; in this case, more than one possible description). An approximate description is only an abstract idea, and no actual entity exists per se corresponding to that approximate description, simply because an actual entity is exactly what it is and not an approximation of itself. What physically exists are the underlying physical processes. Emergence is nothing more than a cognitive construct that is applied to physical phenomena, and cognition itself can only come from a mind; thus emergence can never explain mental experience as, by itself, it implies mental experience. My approach is scientific and is based on our scientific knowledge of the physical processes that occur in the brain; my arguments prove that such scientific knowledge excludes the possibility that the physical processes that occur in the brain could be a sufficient condition for the existence of consciousness.

That's an interesting perspective! The idea of a creator in the universe is a matter of faith and philosophy that has been contemplated by humans for millennia. Science, on the other hand, focuses on the natural world and uses evidence and observation to explain how the universe works. Here are some approaches to consider: * Scientific Inquiry: Science currently investigates the universe through the lens of natural laws and processes, without invoking a creator. This approach has led to a vast understanding of the cosmos. * Religious Faith: Many religions believe in a creator deity who plays a role in the universe's origin and function. Faith offers purpose and meaning to some people. * Philosophical Viewpoints: Philosophy explores the concept of creation from various angles, considering questions about existence, consciousness, and the nature of reality. Ultimately, the question of a creator is a personal one. Science and faith can coexist for some people, while others may find more comfort in one approach over the other.

Curious. In CCC model an expanding universe must be tending towards a high entropy state with energy density being highly dispersed.

Where do the conditions arise in the first place to kick start another Aeon?

The concept of the universe's creation in Vedic texts, particularly the Srimad Bhagavatam, contrasts significantly with the Big Bang theory. According to the Srimad Bhagavatam, Maha Vishnu, an expansion of Lord Vishnu, is the original source of the universe. The process begins when Maha Vishnu, lying in the Causal Ocean (Karana Ocean), exhales, creating innumerable universes from the pores of His skin. Each universe is like a bubble that eventually expands and forms its own cosmic structure. God does exist. We and the universe exist only because of Him. In each universe, Maha Vishnu enters as Garbhodakasayi Vishnu and creates Brahma, the first living being. Brahma then takes on the role of the creator within that universe, further shaping and organizing it. This process is described as eternal and cyclic, with universes being created, maintained, and eventually dissolved back into Maha Vishnu's body, only to be created again. In contrast, the Big Bang theory is a scientific explanation that suggests the universe began from a singular, extremely dense and hot point about 13.8 billion years ago. It then expanded and cooled to form galaxies, stars, and planets. This theory is supported by empirical evidence such as the cosmic microwave backgroundThe Vedic perspective sees the creation by Maha Vishnu as complete and perfect, understood through spiritual insight and revelation by great yogis and mystics. This is in contrast to the Big Bang theory, widely accepted in the scientific community but remaining a theoretical framework subject to ongoing research and refinement. The Vedic view emphasizes a divine and purposeful creation, while the Big Bang theory is based on imperfect observable phenomena and physical laws that are subject to change as our understanding of the universe continues to evolve. This is like ants trying to understand how a rocket ship works. Vedic knowledge explains creation in great detail. Why do we assume that our brief time here in modern civilization is the epitome of knowledge, when only a few years ago people believed that Earth was the center of the universe and anyone who disagreed with the church's theory was burned at the stake? #VedicPerspective #BigBangTheory #ScientificCommunity #Creation #UniverseUnderstanding

[@rembeadgc]

Physics doesn't have properties. Physics is a discipline of study. Elements have properties. We shouldn't anthropomorphize physical elements. Mythologizing is one of many abilities of a mind. The mind has the ability to comprehend the material universe and manipulate the elements within it. It is the mind (the sometimes author of mythology) which comprehends the universe (which includes the properties of the elements). The preeminence of mind over material (to include time and space) is the default position that we are all working and living from; not the other way around. No human being lives as though the material universe is preeminent over the mind. Your statement presupposes that human beings should submit to the pattern and "preferences" of the material universe and conform their minds to it. I guarantee that you don't do that and would never truly, rationally support it. If you did... you would simply be "bowing" to the universe and effectively making the universe your god, which, by design, you have the capacity and the necessary unction to do. We will all necessarily worship one god or another, by design.

Focusing on the fine-tuning aspect of the universe, specifically dark energy density, Penrose suggests that for life to exist, the conditions had to be exceptionally precise. According to him, an advanced being might have set tge dark energy perfectly, to allow for the life to emerge. If this density wete significantly higher, the universe could have been torn apart. Or, if it's only slightly lower, the universe could collapse into a singularity long before life had any opportunity to develop. Imagine playing a game of dice about the existence of everything around us, including ourselves. Weinberg connected the dots between the low level of dark energy in the universe and the Anthropic Principle. Steven Weinberg: "We can only discuss the universes that have the exact conditions for us to exist." [The Anthropic Principle] It's like saying that out of a gazillion dice rolls the universe got that one chance to produce life as we know it. If it hadn't, we wouldn't be here to talk about it. He proposed that there's a certain level of dark energy in order for life to exist and it's closely related to the energy level needed for galaxies to form. It's as if, once the stage is set for galaxies, the conditions became right for life to emerge. Which links their creation and the possibility of life more closely than we ever imagined. This connection between dark energy density and life is surprisingly strong. But--and it's a big but--just because we're here to observe this universe doesn't mean our existence was a guaranteed outcome. The chances of the universe containing just the right amount of dark energy for life to exist are incredibly slim. When we talk about the conditions necessary to create the universe, when we say 1 part in 10 to the 10th to the 123rd, it reflects the precision on the phase-space volume. V/W=10¹⁰‐¹²³rd. It was Penrose's fancy way of saying "the number of different possible states the universe ckuld take at its inception." This precision is so specific, that even if you try to write it out in full by putting a zero on each separate proton, and on each separate neutron in the whole universe, you wouldn't come close to the total. Penrose: "That many zeros, I certainly couldn't get on a page; I couldn't even fit them into the universe if I put one zero on every single proton within the observable universe. That's not nearly enough." Some might say every step in the formation of the universe could be chalked up to coincidence. But is it reasonable to attribute everything to chance, especially when considering the precision observed around us? Take for example the concept of intelligence [including A.I.]. Observations tell us intelligence typically originates from an existing intelligence. So when we see the intricate design and order in the universe it's natural to question whether it all could be the result of random events. When we start to consider the sheer number of coincidences necessary for life to exist, this whole galactic time-frame suddenly appears quite short. Understanding the scientific mechanisms that led to the formation of the universe and life wirhin it, doesn't eliminate the possibility of an underlying cause or intelligence. Richard Feynman: Discovering the laws of physics is like trying to learn the rules of chess, merely by observing chess games. Yku might observe that bishops remain on squares of the same color, deducing this as a fundamental rule. But a deeper understanding actually reveals that bishops move diagonally, which in turn explains why they always remain on the same color. This evolution of understanding, from a simpke observation to more profound insight, mirrors the journey of discovery in physics. Discovering an expanding universe after Newton and Einstein wanting a static universe is a similar type of revelation. Another example is realizing that chess pieces maintain their identity. But consider a pawn reaches the opposite end of the board and finally transforms into a queen. Of course, it does not violate the laws of chess. You've just never seen a game pushed to that extreme before. The same thing with cosmology: that the notion of a big bang as the universe's beginning was a foundational belief. But as we push the boundaries of our understanding we encounter theories that challenge our conventional wisdom. The idea that space and time could have existed beforehand, and that these ideas violate common sense, makes them perplexing. For now, the cosmos undergoes an endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth may seem outlandish.... [Harry Dewang]

Like any physical system, the universe(s) must proceed by cause and effect. At the limit, by definition is the First Cause.
