Everything in the universe is changing,

We change because we are one with it.

Life = change....there must be more..

😀 I just reflected on this..

A strange thought crossed my mind.
As we grow older with every second, the Earth rotates and ages with the same second as does the sun as it moves in the milky way..however then it hit me so is everything else in the universe and beyond if there is a beyond.

Now here is the thought if I look back in time we are linked with this movement/aging is it inseparable? Did it have to be that way..did every planet in the universe coincide with every action on earth? Is it all one thing? NB I'm not saying the actions on earth drive the universe..😀 but that it could be inseparably linked.

Ie are we part of the movement of the universe...is every thought also part of it like a reaction taking place..as I type this do I have free will is every decision I make the only one I can make..even if I change my mind was that going to happen anyway😕

A bit like If I reversed the Earth in time then all movements I made follow the same path in reverse..as if everything was geared together like twisting the shaft on a gearbox?
Perhaps the old Idea of fait ...can't possibly be so, could it..
However its true that the past is locked..is the future also locked? down to everything I choke I cough I fall asleep...I laugh...or cry..
Its a bit to much like Alice and the rabbit hole..so it must be wrong! Or we are the figures on a strip of film only being able to see the projection but the film is already made we just don't know it.

Just a reflection for a laugh..if this were true what would be the meaning of life?

If the last though were true,

then even the speed of my heart would already be set based upon events yet to or have already been..

If life was some how recycled then if the future was set I'm already dead and alive like Schrodinger's cat.
The only saving grace would be the uncertainty principle..with possible outcomes but even these would be within the allowable constraints of the universe.
If you reversed time and then put it forward again would the end result be the same or changed based upon the uncertainty.
Ie each reverse and forward cycle having a different outcome from the same starting point. But then what happened to all the yesterdays from the first cycle?
Then how could the past be set?

If we re-run an experiment with exactly the same conditions do we get a different outcome?

"What is the Universe expanding into"? Since we do not have the ability to know, why does it matter?[/QUOTE]

Interesting question..think about it..🙂
Like it or not you are part of it..(But what are you part of ?)
Does infinity exist?
And have you asked that question before..😀

If the universe had a starting point it must have an end..and as such if the universe is all there is..then before the big bang what existed for the singularity to form ie where did the big bang happen? Then the question if its part of the multiverse is the multiverse infinite? If its not where is the multi verse..you see its quite strange..who am I and where am I<<if there is an "I"..

If the universe is something, is empty space nothing? How did something occur in the middle of nothing. If empty space is nothing, does it even have a middle? I think these questions originate in the empty space between my ears!

The problem seems to be,

Everything is made of energy..E=MC2<<there is the problem..what is nothing? And if it is infinite would it need infinite energy to exist?
This is addressed in some of the links in the thread..🙂

The problem is for something to exist it appears it needs to have dimensions.
This is where String theory and M theory appear to be linked.<<brane theory..
Just for fun try watching a few of the links..the good old double slit experiment is a good starting point..just for fun of course..

If your interested slowly read the thread..it wanders occasionally but its interesting..
I don't know how you feel about cartoons on you tube but its a good explanation in easy terms..(unless you already know all this?)

Then as you find in the thread linked to particle wave duality..Just for fun..🙂
