Think of a video game, where man finds himself on a world, where he has no clue of where he is from, or where he is going - no history, no future... But he must find out... And time is running out.
Fast!
Hey! This game sound exciting, doesn't it?
The character is not left completely helpless. There are clues... of course... each leading to different destinies. Of course,
What's the fun of a game if you can't lose?
So the path chosen, matters.
Some chose to follow a path where the clues are from ancient writings. Count me in.
They are considered stupid...
by the ones who chose other paths. Oh Okay.
Others chose a path they consider the true path, the right path, the only path, that will lead them to.......... the Theory of Everything (TOE). To some they are considered... cuckoo.
The journey has begun.
I think each player will make the decisions they think will help them beat the game. After all no one likes to lose. Right?
So I think sincere people - scientists, religious fanat... I mean religious people - are trying what they think works. I don't know if there are any non-science, non-religious people, but some people do like to watch others play first, before they jump into it, so everyone is a character in this game.
Me. I think the clues from the ancients are spot on. They outline and plot a path that seem clear as day, and each step forward the light seem to get brighter and brighter.
The scientists say the same thing, but there seems to me to be a lot of human directed clues - as though the player is laying down the clues, as they advance.
For example, in this video '
Quantum Physics Explained' - randomness is not really random - it's human-directed.
It seems to me, the patterns created are speculated and then produced by human direction. Randomness does not work by human intervention.
So it quite easy to get a speculated view to work, which is what I have seen in most science today.
Speaking of which...
When did consciousness arise? With sentient being? Was the universe here before sentient beings, or did it only exist with the evolution of the brain? Or does consciousness exist outside the brain - in some pocket of the universe?
Or did consciousness exist before the universe - outside the universe, and in what I think scientists are playing
Dodge Ball with -
Causality.
