Time, death and the universe

[IAN 2411]

Okay I have had time to think about a few things. Now take it that I was never the brightest boy in the school and somewhere about post [20] I got lost. I am trying to figure out what homeopathy has to do with [Time Death and the Universe]. I know what homeopathy is and I cannot see where it fits with the heading, maybe I am a little thicker than I thought.

Time goes forward, IE: - an annual plant buds, an annual plant blooms, an annual plant wilts, an annual plant dies, The End. The dead plant gives energy and life to the soil, so where’s the end? Weeds grow. Reincarnation?

Time waits for no man? Is that right, or is man moving faster than time which causes him to age, deteriorate and die. The universe gets bigger by the moment, is that time moving or is it standing still and the universe is moving?

Death; if during our lives we learn as much as we can, and at the end we die. Then to realise that unless our names are linked kin to Einstein, then what is the point of it all? Am I to believe that it takes 100,000 people to be born just to find one Albert Einstein? Are the other 99,999 just bad seeds, and again what would be the point of the one good seed? I have to believe that there is a reason everyone has a brain and a mind of their own in the broader view of the universe. The universe is here, I am here and there as to be a better reason than just being one of the 99,999 that are not the super brain of the world. I have to believe that the mind and thought are there for a reason and because it is an essence it will live until it finds a young host to manipulate. Reincarnation?

Am I crazy? Possibly, but no more than those that say death is the end, and until we get there no one knows the truth.

The universe, it is expanding as we speak, maybe it is no better than a balloon and one day it will pop. But until then....

Be well IAN 2411

No, it really doesn't have anything to do with it. Just another way for some people to accept what feels good rather than what's real.

The dead plant returns nutrients to the soil, and some stored energy, but not life. Life is made (in the form of seeds) before the death of the organism.

Time waits for no man? Is that right, or is man moving faster than time which causes him to age, deteriorate and die. The universe gets bigger by the moment, is that time moving or is it standing still and the universe is moving?

I suppose we should view time as a construct of man, a way to explain why things happen in a linear manner. Why are we born, live our lives, then die, and not the reverse? Because "time" flows in one direction only.

I have to believe that the mind and thought are there for a reason and because it is an essence it will live until it finds a young host to manipulate. Reincarnation?

As soon as you say, "I have to believe", you've stepped away from reality. What we believe may have absolutely nothing to do with how things are. People WANT to believe there's a reason for their existence, a reason that's bigger than themselves. Unfortunately, there's nothing to show that such a belief is true. Einstein was a great mind, no question. He advanced our knowledge of the universe immensely. That doesn't make him any better or worse as far as the universe is concerned. And it doesn't mean that we all have that kind of potential.

Am I crazy? Possibly, but no more than those that say death is the end, and until we get there no one knows the truth.

Crazy? No, not at all. Deluded? Not unless you allow your beliefs to interfere with your understanding of reality. And yes, until we get there, no one knows the truth. But there are a lot of conmen and shamans who want you to believe that THEY know! And what they have to say may make you FEEL better, but that doesn't make what they say true. The universe, as far as we can tell, is supremely indifferent to our existence, whether as individuals or as a species.

The universe, it is expanding as we speak, maybe it is no better than a balloon and one day it will pop. But until then....

There are billions of stars in our galaxy, and we are just starting to find out that many of them have planets. There could be thousands, even millions, of life-bearing planets in our galaxy alone. And there are billions of galaxies out there! To believe that all of this was made just to achieve us is the ultimate egoism. Humanity is a minor waypoint in the long process of evolution, and one day we will be as extinct as the dinosaurs. But the universe doesn't care. When we are gone, the universe will not miss us.
