The universe has always baffled me. What the he'll is it doing there in the first place?
Why is it infinite? What is the point of having millions of galaxies with billions of planets?
That is one of the reasons why I am agnostic instead of being an atheist.
The shit just doesn't add up. Maybe we are just a part of a giant, intergalactic ant farm, that is being watched over by a higher power?
My take on it is that... our perceptual level is so low that we just can't fathom a 4-dimensional world in the current 3-dimensional environment. The world, as is now, can be explained in mathematical terms, although we haven't got the time or resources to do so (or the combined brainpower,) hence there IS an underlying mechanism or protocol running all this shit. Not celestial/religious mind you. We're so constrained by the time dimension that we can't really wrap our heads around time being anything but a transitional moment from past to future. In reality though, if the time/4th dimension shackles were removed and we DID have unlimited access to all moments (much like we have for the other three dimensions,) past and future, our existence would be much much different, in a way NO ONE has even understood. If we were really timeless, I'm fairly certain that our biological existence would have to take on a much different form. With past, present and future coexisting in the same reality, we all would be all things to all people, hence the acts of being born and dying would be unnecessary (to some degree).
If I were to have complete access to my existence, past, present and future, who's to say that the mere act of existing would be necessary? For example, in a 3-dimensional world, being alive is a biological must in order to exist, but in a 5-dimensional world... mmmm, not so sure.
To me, the most telltale sign that our brain is capable of comprehending the 5-dimensional world is the fact that when humans have a near-death experience, most of them say something like "my entire life flashed before my eyes". To me, this is the brain going fifth-dimensional. Maybe dying isn't really the end after all. Maybe we just go on to another reality, another time period or just another place.
After all, energy never ever dissipates .
