Big life of a Bang
Where did everything started? That’s a difficult question… but even harder is to try to answer what life is? Or maybe worst, to try to find a meaning to it all. Don’t get me wrong… life as it is, I consider it the greates gift of all… to actually be able to write today some words about it and maybe go around the outer shell of it actual meaning makes us who we are, it's our nature to always look for answers, although not always arriving to one.
And maybe that’s actually what bothers me the most, this life is so great, so many beautiful things to it but yet it’s not forever. If there’s one thing for certain, that is the start and end of it. We don’t know the where and how but we definitely know it will imminently happen at some point. As easy as we got here, some day we are going to vanish.
But what’s around it? What’s going to happen? Where are we going? Some say that we all started from a Big Bang. From nothing, absolute nothing, or maybe something, as trying to imagine absolute nothing is quite difficult if you think about it, was it all white like a cartoon page till some random molecules exploded, but if there was nothing how did they came about? So maybe it’s a constant succession of infinite implosions and explosions… as I write this we are as a whole going toward an implosion… on day millions of years from now the universe will implode again to restart itself in another Big Bang, kind of a reset button. But between this implosion/explosion, what do we find around? Is there something else? Maybe a GOD, maybe more universe? It doesn’t make sense really…. Maybe as some recent theories say there are other universes all copy’s of our… like parallel realities, maybe somewhere another me is writing this right now, maybe with a little twitch. Myself but not quite myself.
Anyway, there is no real answer, is there? I personally think each of us are a small unique universe. We all, like the universe itself, have a start and an end. And quite like it we have no answer to many but many things… I have studied science all my life, and I can assure anyone we have not even begun to scratch the surface of the real truth and even most of things we actually think are near its truth, we are not, not near at all. When I talk about truth I mean everything, everything that’s away from ignorance. At one side we have ignorance, the absolute absence of knowledge… on the opposite side we have, TRUTH that is only accessed by the road of knowledge. The thing is, our road of knowledge is altered and bent by our own capacity of perception. So most of us are following the wrong road towards truth. Although it is impossible to know for sure what the right road is, 1500 years ago people thought the earth was flat! We had no knowledge of viruses and bacteria. Actually viruses where discovered quite recently, with the invention of the electronic microscope. Our “modern civilization” is the product of only the last 100 years. We have actually managed to evolve in 100 years more than the last 20,000 years. And still we try to answer some questions with mystical theories like religion, as we did 20,000 years ago, when all unanswerable questions were answered with religion, from the god sun, to Zeus, to Jupiter up to modern religion. With no scientific method saying that god actually exists is like saying that the tooth fairy mother exist. Even after all this time, as we still have no answers, we still answer everything with what I call a god solution. All dead ends takes you to God, any GOD. I really wish it was true… and don’t get me wrong, I am definitely not against religion or believing in a God, I actually envy true believers because they actually think for the afterlife to be true, but science is incompatible with religion, at least to religion as we perceive it today. Maybe in the future we will realize that both science and religion where right in their own way, maybe the truth is between them. So I actually envy true believers, I actually envy ignorance as I think they have both found an answer, maybe not the truth but an answer none the less. I you actually believe in an afterlife paradise, that’s great! You will die at least thinking you are going to a greater place… but how much great?! I actually find this life great . And that’s the difficult part… someday it will end, and what then? Paradise? Some mystical plane in between? Do we become ghosts? Do we just evaporate to a collective cosmic energy reservoir where we get recycled into another life cycle? Do we just shut off like a computer, one second we are, the other we are not! Science leads us to think that’s probably the most reliable answer. But then, why, why do we reason, why do we think? Why are we capable of doing all this questions to our self. We have actually conciousness of life, we know we are here and we wonder what are purpose is. We need a purpose somehow. Do animals need one? I think not, although reproduction is definitely a common purpose of all organisms, some not even sentient at least as long as we know, like viruses and bacteria’s or plants.
So now you probably know where I am going with this little blog… as I said before , some times we only know the start of things but not how they are going to end although we know they will end. So this is a start… now I need to attend other things, luckily life goes on, it never waits for you, but I will do my best to keep up with this Big life Bang ideas sometime soon. In the meantime you are all more than welcome to leave your ideas and point of views… maybe, who knows we can scratch the real truth, I just hope we realize we are, if we do.
