2026031 - Is there a 3rd possibility...?

  ​I am a ssuming you are a human reading this...  Typically we believe in the following 2 (main) things: 1. Category 1:  We (humans & all life on Earth, for that matter) started as single celled organisms several million years ago ( ​We  don't know exactly how - just assuming it was a freak incident of nature). Anyway, since then, through further accidents (mutations) over several million years, we developed into various species and evolved to what we are today.  Now ​, why evolution decided that every living entity has to die (& not live forever), I don't know. However, as each species evolved, it decided to cap its life tenure and that life must end. For us humans, typically ​that limit is  75-90 years nowadays.  So there is no real purpose to life. We take life by chance and die ​ eventually since evolution has baked it into us. That 75-90 years is not even a flash in the pan on the universe's timescale. 2. ​Category 2:  Life has a g...

20211104 : big Ball of Energy

I don't remember how or why I landed on this thought. Basically I am bored. Here it is anyway... I think it is fairly well established that energy cannot be created or destroyed in the world. Well, we can pack some in a rocket and send it off to Mars maybe. That just changes the scope from world to universe, to galaxy and so on... What can be removed is very little I guess. Can almost neglect it. Safe to assume the energy on the planet is constant. Like all things, it probably is very dense at the core and gets a bit loose as we move out. Some of it probably splatters out here and there - like the drops on the surface when something is very hot and boiling. Is that what all life is? Just a biological body capturing a drop of the bubbling energy just at the right time. Hangs around with it for sometime. When the body becomes weak enough to hold on to it, the drop of energy falls back to the big mass of energy. After it falls back, there is no individual drop. Just one bit indistingu...
