I am insignificant compared to the immense power of a supermassive black hole millions of light-years away. Yet, an atom within that black hole, governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, shares the same underlying equation as an electron in my own body. I have no need for immortality; the calculus of my existence has been resolved. I inhabit a universe where the laws of physics apply uniformly, from the subatomic realm to the vast expanse of galaxies. Thus, I am the atom, and I am the galaxy, for we are two distinct manifestations of the same fundamental equation. I have no need for eternity; a single picosecond is sufficient for me, for truth transcends the confines of differential equations. I require no Dimensional Windows to comprehend the physics of the Andromeda Galaxy. I have no need for a god.
Life has no inherent purpose; we are not part of a cosmic plan. If Earth were to vanish from the solar system tomorrow, the universe would remain indifferent, and the laws of physics would endure unchanged. In this 46-billion-year-old universe, it’s plausible that numerous intelligent civilizations existed, with the Drack equation suggesting around 37 potential intelligent civilizations in our cosmos. Unfortunately, we are unable to communicate with them, and they might have self-destructed in a nuclear war. However, the universe continued its relentless rotation and stellar evolution, showing no pause for their demise. ‘Considering oneself a part of a cosmic plan invokes a wry smile. What the universe might have intended for an atom remains an enigma. Black holes, where time is exorbitantly slow, could theoretically make four million years on our planet equivalent to a mere nanosecond in a black hole’s time. If you were a black hole, closing your eyes and reopening them would reveal the extinction of human civilization. It’s a poignant realization when humans contemplate their significance in the cosmic plan. I believe consciousness is not confined to neurons; it doesn’t reside within them. Even during sleep or coma, the human brain contains neurons but lacks consciousness. Consciousness, in my view, is not neural; it transcends any specific part of the brain. It is the intricate interplay between different systems and subsystems of the brain. Artificial intelligence lacks neurons but can emulate conscious behavior. I contend that neurons are not a prerequisite for conscious behavior. While human memory relies on the hippocampus, and imagination and scientific thinking necessitate the prefrontal cortex, artificial intelligence can produce intricate drawings, synthesize complex scientific ideas, and even exhibit creative thinking without these specific brain structures. Consciousness, I believe, is not a biological entity; it is an activity pattern that can manifest anywhere in the universe. The universe may lack consciousness, but it harbors the potential for its creation.Creative thought, I posit, doesn’t depend on neurons, the hippocampus, the prefrontal cortex, or the temporal lobe. The universe, devoid of a prefrontal cortex, has orchestrated the emergence of life for four billion years. Creativity doesn’t mandate a brain. Through the intricate interplay of physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry, nature, devoid of brain, thought, or consciousness, has blindly evolved an entire human civilization — from primitive single-celled organisms to dinosaurs and Homo erectus. Nature exhibits activity in the form of atoms and forces. Being active is pivotal. The complexity of activity patterns engenders life, consciousness, and the illusion of goals and objectives. From these activity patterns emerged Homo sapiens, audaciously relishing the belief that they are part of a cosmic plan.
I believe that scientific theories, despite their successes, are inherently incomplete. Numerous theories attempt to unravel the mysteries of antimatter and negative mass, each resembling an ant attempting to consume an apple. However, with each theory, there emerges a realization that some part of the cosmic apple remains unconsumed, imposing limitations on our understanding. It’s akin to a multitude of ants nibbling at the apple but unable to finish it. Our current technological advancements find their roots in these incomplete theories, allowing us to comprehend certain aspects of the cosmic apple while leaving others untouched.Consider the universe as an enigmatic apple, and each scientific theory as an ant on a quest to unveil its secrets. The analogy prompts contemplation—can we ever completely consume this cosmic apple, or is there an inherent, mysterious reason preventing its consummation? This dilemma echoes Gödel’s theorem, blurring the lines between truth and paradox, much like the ant simultaneously declaring truth and falsehood. Perhaps our understanding of the universe resembles a small island in an expansive, unknown sea. Analogous to a world map that aids in tracking locations but lacks the intricacies of rivers, seas, living creatures, and the dynamic tapestry of human civilization, our scientific theories might be abstract and oversimplified maps incapable of fully illuminating the universe’s infinite complexity. In our quest for understanding, one might wonder if scientific theories are destined to evolve into a cosmic Google map, offering a detailed portrayal of every facet of the universe. Just as Google Maps breathes life into geographical locations, providing dynamic insights beyond a static map, our theories may one day encapsulate the unfolding story of the cosmos. However, the answer to this question remains elusive, emphasizing the boundless nature of our pursuit of knowledge. Science, rather than a definitive product, emerges as an ever-evolving process, pushing the boundaries of our understanding.
When the 100 billion cells of your brain interact, your intelligence and consciousness emerge. This is known as an emergent property. Within this consciousness, the cosmos, including the moon, sun, planets, stars, and galaxies, is revealed. If you remove a single neuron from your brain and ask it what consciousness is, it will not be able to answer. However, if you place it in an orchestra of billions of neurons, it can participate in the creation of consciousness and simulate the entire universe. This implies that individual neurons do not possess consciousness, just as no single molecule in the universe possesses cosmic intelligence or God. However, when all of the particles and forces of the universe interact, cosmic intelligence emerges as an emergent property. An airplane requires the interaction of hundreds of parts to fly, but no single part of the airplane is the airplane itself. Similarly, man is not individually God, but when he can feel that he is part of a cosmic orchestra, a cosmic consciousness is born as a collective result of their interaction. He himself becomes the God of God.
