1.0 Introduction
In the following thread I give a possible reason for the existence of the universe, and two solutions to the problem of death. Please note, the following assumes that God does not exist as (s)he complicates the ideas. So, let us begin............
2.0 State of the System
To understand reality we must first define two terms, 'System' and 'State':-
2.1 System
The system is that fundamental reality in which we find ourselves. We know we exist in the universe, so therefore we can conclude the universe exists within the system.
2.2 State
A tossed coin comes to rest in either the 'state of heads' or the 'state of tails'. So, in a way, a state is the possible realities of the system.
So now that we understand both system and state we can proceed. It is reasoned that the system can exist in one of only two possible states, 'State 1' or 'State 2'.
2.3 State 1 : The Void
State 1, which is an eternal, infinite, empty void, is the first possible state of the system. Nothing comes from nothing, and that is why State 1 is an eternal void. It is reasonable to think that the system could only exist in this state, State 1, but another state is possible as we shall find out.
2.4 State 2 : The Intelligent System
If an intelligence was intelligent enough to devise a way of bringing itself into existence from nothing, then the system could exist in State 2, an Intelligent System. If an intelligence could never devise a way of bringing itself into existence from nothing, the system would exist in State 1, a void, for eternity. A State 2 System will exist only if an intelligence solves how to create itself from nothing.
2.5 Reality
So we know both you and I exist. Therefore we can conclude that the system exists in State 2, i.e., an intelligence did in fact devise a way of bringing itself into existence from nothing. Otherwise nothing would exist. We also know that we exist in the universe. Therefore, assuming God does not exist, it may be appropriate to assume that the universe is the method by which the intelligence brought itself into existence. Hence, humans could be the 'Intelligence' of the State 2 System.
3.0 Afterlife
In our State 2 System, humans die. This is a problem, and so here are two possible solutions:-
3.1 Solution 1 : Einstein's Afterlife Realm
Let's say Einstein is about to die, but before he does a 'being', working behind the scenes, transfers Einstein's consciousness to a robot shell which Einstein is quickly able to control. Einstein then makes his way towards a light where he finds a room. There, Einstein realises that having died, and as there is no God, he must have created the robot shell and afterlife room himself.
So Einstein gets to work, first discovering how time travel can be accomplished, and then discovering how to create building blocks from nothing. So he travels back 100 years, and by creating building blocks, he builds the afterlife room. He then builds a robot shell from more building blocks and brings it to his death bed, where, behind the scenes, he transfers the dying Einstein's consciousness to the robot shell.
So a simple afterlife awaits Einstein. Now consider what can be achieved together with all the scientists who have or will die:- the afterlife room will be perfected to become the afterlife realm, and the robot shell will be perfected to become the spirit body.
So this is Solution 1 to the problem of death. Now for Solution 2:-
3.2 Solution 2 : The Future's Afterlife Realm
Let's say scientists in the distant future build an afterlife realm and spirit bodies. Then, using time travel, they travel back in time to the moment of your death and transfer your consciousness to a spirit body which is then released into the afterlife realm.
So by transferring our consciousness, nanoseconds before death, to spirit bodies in the afterlife realm which scientists in the future have created, humans could become immortal and exist for eternity.
4.0 Summary
Above I have suggested that an intelligence, possibly human, devised a way of bringing itself into existence from nothing, and the method it used was to create the universe. I then gave two possible solutions to the problem of death:- Firstly, by creating an afterlife realm after death, and secondly, by creating an afterlife realm in the future.
5.0 Conclusion
Through reasoning I have tried to solve the mysteries of reality. It is hoped that you will be able to use these ideas if you think they have potential.
