erm, i was kinda not in the right mind last night. I think i have something but i was far far too manic to actual articulate it, in the end it was just incoherent blatherings. this, is what i wanted to say: note: i know i probably misused affect and effect, but only in mixing them up, i think the end result is actually understandable Chapter I ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ The Universe Ok, if I need to explain, then explain I shall. First, my theory of the universe and its lifeline. The universe begins as the big bang explains it, all matter in the universe packs into a perfect ultra dense sphere. It explodes outward, at a constant rate, and follows this path: Life is formed, Life becomes sentient, Life becomes enlightened, and then the universe ends. This is as simple as I can put it, but obviously itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s only simple to me, and so I have to go on. Chapter II ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Quantum Physics It is essential that you understand the basics of quantum physics to understand my theory. Basically, the quantum theory states than on an atomic level, the parts that make up an atom do not follow a pattern for movement, but can be predicted by statistically data. Like, for instance, say you drive down the same road every day and do the exact same thing while driving down it. Does the same thing happen always? No, but does the same thing happen Most of the time? Yes. This is basically The butterfly effect branch of science, and where it gets tricky. The quantum theory states that the movement of the atom (caused by the movements of the atoms particles [which can only be statistically predicted, but not to 100% accuracy, just something like 99.infinite9% accurate {assumed}]) effect all over atoms. Like a ripple. Closer atoms are affected more and farther atoms are affected less and less and less into immeasurable amounts of small. So the act of looks at an object changes the object. The act of thinking about it (brain waves, circuits running, etc etc) changes it, the act of touching most definitely changes it (closer and closer). So this, in turn, means that what you know to be true is true. If you really truly believe that, for example, these words are all explosives, then they are, for you, and they affect you as such. The problem with this lies in sentient thought. Although you may be being blown to bits in your reality, other peopleÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s reality isnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t the same and certainly doesnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t believe that these words are small sticks of dynamite wreaking havoc upon your face, theyÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢d just see you cringing and screaming in imaginary (to them) pain. So they lock you up and medicate you so you no longer see what it is that really did happen to you, just no one else. Note I ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Infinites With this train of thought comes a train of a lot of more things too, infinite trains, in fact, and infinite things, too. Basically, it goes like this. There are infinite takes on any action, and if its quantum, then those takes become belief and they happen as such. Now, you may be thinking, then why hasnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t the universe just imploded, exploded, or reploded. And the answer is sentient though. Chapter III ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Sentient Thought Now again with theory. It is my firm belief that sentient thought is the instillation of the knowledge of what things are and the ability to analyze them and what things are not. So our world as a whole believes that gravity is 9.8m/s, then it mostly is. But when one person changes that, they switch off into another universe and float away (or maybe gravity just becomes 9.9m/s, it doesnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t matter), but they also stay here. So while theyÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re altering their reality, we donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t believe that this is how is it, and so we see something different, and so does everyone else. So there are infinite choices being made and infinite scenarios being played out with infinite ends infinitely. And this brings me to the oscillation of the universe. Note II ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Oscillating Universe At the end of each universe (thereÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s infinite of them, remember?) is the period when all sentient thought becomes enlightened, and so all possibilities in that world are exhausted so it ends (imploding exploding reploding whatever is doesnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t matter). Chapter IV ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ Enlightenment I use this term ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâenlightenmentÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ loosely because it has many names. That is what it is for the Buddhists. They train their body and minds a lifetime in order to achieve what many religions believe is achieved at death. The meaning of life, experiencing all possibilities at once. This is only achieved by overriding our sentient-ness. So to experience this, you have to believe with all of your being that life is infinite and so are the possibilities and effects therein. This is done by realizing that we are the sentient part of this universal cycle, and therefore we much do are part to make this universe enlightened. This is why religion was created. Take Jesus. He was a man. But he was a genius, he was enlightened, and he knew how to tell others how to be so. And his take on it (how he believed the world would eventually become enlightened) was God, faith, and end of the world predictions. Follow one who was not of this world to unite the world, believing blindly in his existence and word (the Bible), and you shall be free. His word (actually written by JesusÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ disciples [who were enlightened] to be the guide that shall be followed in order to achieve enlightenment) prophesized the end of the world, the coming of the antichrist (he who would be able enlighten those without faith), and an army would rise and conquer the earth. This will be no actual army or war, just those with faith and without alike becoming enlightened until all sentient life is gone and all possibilities happen at once (including nothing, the end of the world, the creations of a new world, and such). Mayans came from enlightened people and they ended their calendars at 2012, their end. JehovaÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Witnesses are also on enlightened decent, for they prophesize the world uniting as one and then the end (sound familiar?). The actual end is still unknown, as is our infinite future, but it will happen when every sentient in this universe can accept that the universe is ending. Chapter V ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ The ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâProofÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ This is my answer, and hopefully others the ultimate question: what our purpose. Many have done it through religion, others have tried science (and then thereÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s philosophy, which is just trying to bring proof through abstract thought, and spiritual circles [if you will], which try just bring acceptance through their teachings, and then, of course, there are others [like cults with mass suicides {the principle, I think, being that the more who die or ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâare enlightenedÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ at once, the truer it is}]). The quantum theory is branch of science that is the sum of all scientists trying to explain enlightenment without faith, and this, I hope, takes us one step closer to that. Notes The oscillating universe is just a theory. Really this universe became with sentient life and at that moment our entire past and creation of this universe became plotted. Or at least that is what I believe, this part is semi-open-ended.
