Wow, this was incredibly well written, and I really enjoyed it! It’s a different perspective than what i’m used to, but its more human than “current science,” it’s got a personality to it. This got me thinking about my own interpretations of the universe and what conclusions your work will draw in the future. For instance, as I read through I became more inclined to believe that the universe is an actual organism of an incomprehensible scale; perhaps extending and participating in life on a different dimension than we can observe. Like the universe is one human body and the solar system is a microfilament within a singe cell on its pinky toenail. Perhaps the universe isn’t “living” and “breathing” as we and other organisms are, but I agree-- life isn’t created as spontaneously as we interpret it to be. I think in order to change the approach from these current views, the “meaning of life” (or rather, the definition of it) also has to change.
(I came from your post about the end poem, which I really, really enjoyed-- and I have virtually no background or experience in science outside of a high school physics classroom and my own interpretations. I am super interested in what you have to say, and I can’t to read on!!)
Thank you Allie. Yes, I basically do think of our universe as, essentially, "an organism of an incomprehensible scale". As you'll see in my other posts, I feel there's a lot of evidence that our universe evolved - that it's descended from a long line of earlier, simpler universes. The best theory to explain how that might have happened is cosmological natural selection (first outlined by the physicist Lee Smolin in the 1990s). Bear in mind, evolution is the only mechanism we know of that can generate efficient, optimised complexity from a simple, non-optimised starting point, simply by iterating again and again. Why wouldn't that be the explanation for the efficient, optimised complexity we find at all scales in our universe? What other explanation can the mainstream offer? If so, the basic parameters of matter have been fine-tuned by that evolution to generate this complex universe, including DNA lifeforms like us. (Fundamental particles evolved; matter evolved; evolution evolved.) So yes, our universe develops like an organism, following an evolved path...
