I think the universe is fully infinite and not growing. I don't think it could be viewed as alive with nothing living in it. Interesting concept though.I was just thinking about how the universe is "growing" and how, if I could go back to the moment of the big bang, and watch the entire universe animate itself in a time-lapsed fashion - I wonder if I could view the universe as "alive" and life being the universe itself.
life being the universe itself.
So you are viewing the instant of the BB as the birth of the universe. I'd sure like to go back a universal 9 months and see the act of conception.I was just thinking about how the universe is "growing" and how, if I could go back to the moment of the big bang, and watch the entire universe animate itself in a time-lapsed fashion - I wonder if I could view the universe as "alive" and life being the universe itself.
I think not by itself. I imagine the physical universe to be part of something more complex but too simple, physically, to be brainy. A galaxy looks about as smart as a hurricane. A cell isn't as large and doesn't have as many parts as a galaxy but is far more complex in its motions than a galaxy. It adapts. Galaxies just poof.I was just thinking about how the universe is "growing" and how, if I could go back to the moment of the big bang, and watch the entire universe animate itself in a time-lapsed fashion - I wonder if I could view the universe as "alive" and life being the universe itself.

Who knows? Maybe our definition of life is limited to only what our senses and intellect can acknowledge. After all we do indeed have a linear, and arguably narrow view of things.I was just thinking about how the universe is "growing" and how, if I could go back to the moment of the big bang, and watch the entire universe animate itself in a time-lapsed fashion - I wonder if I could view the universe as "alive" and life being the universe itself.
Reproduction means taking something that exists and making a copy of it. If there was no universe before the big bang then it was not reproducing anything. It was creating something. Different process.

The universe is apparently expanding. "Growing" is a tendentious term to use.I was just thinking about how the universe is "growing" and how, if I could go back to the moment of the big bang, and watch the entire universe animate itself in a time-lapsed fashion - I wonder if I could view the universe as "alive" and life being the universe itself.

"Reproduction" implies a process of making copies. No theory of cosmology involves such a concept, so far as I know.
So I don't think the analogy works, really.
There is no evidence one way or the other about that, and it is a different question from the one posed in the OP, as to whether the universe can be said to be "alive" or not.And you think that this universe is the first and only universe to exist in space-time, do you? See post #14.
