Big Brain Theory: Have Cosmologists Lost Theirs?
"It could be the weirdest and most embarrassing prediction in the history of cosmology, if not science.
If true, it would mean that you yourself reading this article are more likely to be some momentary fluctuation in a field of matter and energy out in space than a person with a real past born through billions of years of evolution in an orderly star-spangled cosmos. Your memories and the world you think you see around you are illusions."
"Random blobs of power expressed as that which we all disregard
Ordered states of nature on a scale that no one thinks about
Don't speak to me of anarchy or peace or calm revolt, man
We're in a play of slow decay orchestrated by Boltzmann
It's entropy, it's not a human issue
Entropy, it's a matter of course
Entropy, energy at all levels
Entropy, from it you can not divorce
And your pathetic moans of suffrage tend to lose all significance"

If you step outside commonly accepted cultural ideas regarding the existence of the Universe, you tend to run into some major problems. One of those problems is 4 of the most fundamental laws of Physics; The Laws of Thermodynamics. The word "Thermodynamics" from the Greek meaning "heat" and dynamics, meaning "power". It's the measure of order within a system. Our universe is a structured system that is constantly moving towards higher states of disorder. That would mean that our Universe started at a very LOW state of entropy/order, and is moving towards HIGHER states as time moves forward. The Universe is constantly unraveling itself out of a state of low and structured Entropy.
But if that's the case, then how could our Universe start in a very low and highly organized state born out of chaotic and random process? Chaos is disorganization. Yet, logic would say that we experience a somewhat ordered state of existence at our level. Things make sense to us in order for us to make theories regarding the origins of our Universe and our daily experience as human beings.
You form your own conclusions. I just wish to present information that you can subjectively interpret to form your experience as a conscious being. - Toby
