does anyone else feel like they're meant to move on to a new plane of existence? it doesn't feel like this world should be it, and there's nothing more to it. i don't mean heaven, but a different kind of world, with the same consciousness as the one i have now, something more meaningful and interesting.
>>84737055I want to go out on the ocean in a sail boat and navigate by the stars and clock.It would be like being on a space ship, all alone in space.
>>84737055i also have the gnostic impulse its tiring
>>84737055I honestly believe in Penrose's cyclic universe. Meaning the universe never started and will never end. The big bang repeats infinitely, with an ungodly amount of time between each big bang. This means that we all will live an infinite amount of timelines an infinite amount of times as long as it is in within the laws of physics. Kinda like groundhog day on steroids and meth.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_cyclic_cosmologyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_modelhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Crunchhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bounce
>>84737586what a horrible theory the universe will end when you die permanently
>>84737703>the universe will end when you die permanentlyWhat makes you say that? What is conciousness? Is conciousness not just a combination of matter and electricity? What happened before the universe? How can something come from nothing? How can nothing come from something? I think the theory is honestly perfect. If you learn a little bit about hawking radiation from black holes you can kinda map out a recycling system that ends in a big crunch.
>>84737739yes consciousness is just matter and energy but its still hard to know why people have internal subjective experience and nothing was before the universe because time began with it due to quantum fluctations in the void because nothing is inherently unstable and dark energy accelerates much faster meaning the universe will end through eternal inflation until nothing happens ever again
>>84738045the existence of subjective experience still unexplained is a philosophical problem, not a cosmological one. It's also true that many models suggest time began with the universe, but that doesn't prove there was literally "nothing" beforehand. Quantum fluctuations arise from a quantum vacuum, which is not the same as absolute nothingness.I'm also not convinced that "nothing is inherently unstable" is established science rather than speculation. And while dark energy is accelerating the universe's expansion, that's not the same thing as eternal inflation. Even if the universe ends in a heat death or some inflationary scenario, it doesn't follow that "nothing happens ever again" especially if cyclic universe models, quantum immortality, or other cosmological possibilities are considered.
