Well right there is the scariest proposition of all.
When you actually step outside yourself and think... Yoh... What the heck is all this.
Then the religions all offer some sort of explanation and some talk of a splendid afterlife that will go on forever.
It’s scary to think what this consciousness really is and once it ends... What will happen.
I put no stock in the religionists explanations, they have nothing to offer in terms of explanation, I stick to the science and the science tells me things look rather bleak.
The ultimate fate of the universe, so far as we know, will be... Nothing.
Eventually, in an amount of time that is incomprehensible to humans, the entire universe will become nothin but emptiness and black holes and when the final black hole dies, everything in the universe reaches absolute zero and there will be nothing.
Doesn’t sound like a deity with a plan to moi.
And without a deity with a plan, neither is there an eternal afterlife.
But here’s the other thing if we accept that eternal life may be possible.
The issue for humans, is our concept of space and time and this has been tackled in many different Sci Fi shows that I remember, if we did live for eternity, we just... Wouldn’t view things the same way, our concept of space and time would be totally different, it would be like trying to understand what it would be like to have 4 arms rather than 2, if we did, we wouldn’t know the difference.
So I don’t know, lots of questions and few answers.
We’ll find out soon enough in the grand scheme of things.
