I Am Amazed At the Universe

The aspect of order and disorder or entropy utterly fascinates me. I think all matter (including humans or even rocks) is defined by it's existence.

The meaning of life...is merely existence. And that anything formed is life and has a life-force. Humans are merely a mix of the sun and the earth, we are just another form of matter.

I know entropy is the basic universal force, however I wonder about the force of non-entropy or order. Why it exists? Where and why did that energy get unleashed? Actually thinking of this - because we are still in the expulsion and release of high energy.

“It’s important to simultaneously let people know that we don’t know what we’re talking about,”

is probably the most important line in the whole piece, but eventually, with enough speculation, theory is developed.

Everything has to have a beginning, at least that is what our feeble minds hope for, but this also supposes an end, which is unthinkable.

I like the idea of hope and faith. All ends are simply another beginning. The collapsing and then expanding universe ideas (low entropy to high entropy) are almost comforting.

@goliathtree I agree. I get comfort in my insignificance in the Universe. And to some degree get comfort in the insignificance of the Universe itself (the collapsing and expanding). The Universe in infinite in space, now we can consider it to some part, infinite in Time. Utterly amazing and beautiful in its power.
