Theory on everything and its implications on meaning

Post by KellyC »

This post includes references to computer terminology even though in truth what each word represents could be more sophisticated or complicated.

It is understandable that the lives of every human is saved in a central or same location in the cosmos. Every human sends the messages that it receives from the universe to this location. This is almost a database from connected clients that also receive the behavior or reaction from this database. This idea poses many interesting scenarios
1. If this is true then it could be imagined that a human brain could be given memories of two people that lived in separate times in other words the first born died before the second born was born. That brain would have two physical lives put in the same brain.
2. It is has been found that the brain adjusts its own memories every time that it remembers. This could be explained by the server giving the client certain ways to behave and react.
3. It has also been found that the brain does not feel. This could be explained by the brain having components that exist between a connection with the universe that we consider the physical reality.
4. Our brains could easily have two functions: first how to react or behave in the world, and second change the physical reality in ways that the recipient of all the information decides is best.

The beginning of the universe, considered to be explained by the Big Bang Theory, can have some philosophical explanations.
1. There are many reasons to believe there are intelligent beings that exist elsewhere in the cosmos. These beings may have existed before us and led the cosmos to be where it is today.
2. The universe we reside may have been created to limit the scope of the human concept of the physical world.
3. This is like an isolated network of clients, or intelligent beings, in terms of physical connection(Connection outside the physical world can be increased).
The invention and development of computers on this planet can be a strong suggestion that there is a conceptual heritage to the core of reality.
I think that an argument for meaning that comes out of this theory is that every single intelligent being in the cosmos has a root back to the recipient of all this information. That all of us including any of us that we do not yet know are one in the same at the ultimate level of reality. That the birth and death of any of us has a purpose not for the identity we currently possess but for the recipient of this information.
I believe that this opens up the idea that a greater sense of real is possible that can come up when people have NDE’s, or Near Death Experiences. If you think that the identity that you experience seems real imagine the immensity of that feeling when joined with the greater self or all of us. There are many things that experiencers cannot explain or describe so my theory is that you can meet others that you knew but are connected in a stronger way. This could also be just the first transition out of the physical world. Also, another point pertaining to meaning is that the physical reality is this elaborate and spectacular process of learning and developing the greater self.

What are the reasons that this cannot be true? What are any other arguments for this theory? I think this is one way to think about the metaphysical and the unknown.

Anything that can be imagined is possible, otherwise it could not had been imagined. The question becomes why you have imagined such a model? Is it because of your observations based in your knowledge of computer technology that triggers a logical chain of thought or some other desire for purpose? Anything that helps you make sense of your reality is useful but it's worth asking what caused questions in your mind to lead you to this "theory". Everything you said is plausible, although you should be consistent within your model. You imply in point 1b and 2b that we are a result of previous or other intelligent beings that constructed our reality. You also allude to the possibility of physical connection to the "server" and in point 4 you suggest that we are controlled in "real time" in our decision making process. Are you implying that we are organic matter controlled by AI? My personal question is why is the Universe so vast... it would suffice and perhaps be even more efficient to conduct the "human experiment" on a much smaller scale and perhaps not as an organic organism.

Thanks for the response. The line of thinking was the striking similarities humans have to computers although humans are much more sophisticated. Essentially what our brains do is process information. This model is for the most part imagined like you said and seems like science fiction. I think what I wanted to get out of thinking about this model is some truth to it where some parts might hold together.Science fiction can be useful in research and engineering leading down paths of thinking otherwise not taken. In the metaphor, our brains are the computers, information is the physical world, and the universe the network. About the size of the universe we perceive it has very large but in reality it may not be large in comparison to everything that exists. This is a metaphysical model and might start some rational discussions and just another way to try to delve deeper and think about the metaphysical.

I'm always open to "our of the box" thinking, as long as we can still see the box :)
Yes there are similarities of human mind to a computer system, where we can draw analogies between the parts of the brain to computer HD, CPU, and RAM connected to a motherboard. This is partially due to the logical functionality of design, as well as the fact that most of human designs find inspiration from nature. Flight is an excellent example for such inspiration to build planes based on the observations of birds. The next step for your model is to ask if such theory provides any useful conclusions and predictions about the observed reality beside incorporating observations into a logical schema.
