Yu refers to the four directions up and down, that is, space.

The universe, from ancient times to the present, is time.

The vastness and grandeur of the universe cannot be easily understood from our dimension.

Countless cells in our body use their short life to maintain our lives. They perform their own duties and are dedicated to their work. Even if they have thoughts and cognition, they cannot understand the meaning of our existence. .

Let’s take the simplest example. No matter how intelligent a mitotic creature is (of course, mainstream biology does not believe that highly intelligent creatures will reproduce through mitosis), it is difficult for us to understand our relationship with the opposite sex. desire.

Similarly, could our universe be just a tiny tissue within a larger organism? Even the solar system is equivalent to an atom, and the sun is the nucleus?

Such an idea itself stems from our understanding and deduction of the operating logic of the known world. Our ultimate understanding of the universe is nothing more than a reflection of existing knowledge.

Despite this, I still firmly believe that as long as human civilization continues to flourish, future generations will one day be able to see the full picture of the universe and understand the ultimate meaning of life and the universe!

If you want to answer what the ultimate purpose of the universe is, it is like admitting that the universe is a living body, and everything it does has a purpose. But is the universe really a so-called living entity? We don’t know at all now, so we don’t know the ultimate purpose of the existence of the universe.

But according to current human understanding, the universe is not an organic object like life on earth, and there is no evidence that the universe itself can think like humans. The existence of the universe seems to have no clear purpose, and perhaps it may not need any purpose at all. Because humans do things with purpose, we impose this possibly unfounded purpose on the universe. This is like asking what the ultimate purpose of the existence of a stone is, and there is no definite answer.

If the universe really has a purpose, perhaps it is to make its own conditions suitable for the existence of life. However, this vision of the purpose of the universe is highly subjective. Perhaps life is just an accident in the evolution of the universe. As time goes by, the universe may become unsuitable for the existence of life, and the universe may eventually be devoid of any life. Besides, if parallel universes exist, what's the purpose of that?

In fact, not only is it difficult to answer the purpose of the existence of the universe, but it is also difficult to return to the purpose of human existence. What is the ultimate purpose of human existence, is it to survive? Is it for reproduction? So what are these purposes for?

1,000 years ago, humans did not know that there was air, electricity, electromagnetic waves, magnetic fields, and electric fields. We thought that the sky was round, the earth was square, and the sun revolved around The earth rotates, and the earth is the center of the world.

Now it seems that our ideas at that time were ridiculous. But I can tell you that we are not much more advanced now than we were 1,000 years ago, because so far, the world we know is only 4% of the universe, and the remaining 96% of matter exists in a form that we don’t know at all. , such as dark matter and dark energy.

The more we see, the less we know. This is such an absurd but true logic.

What I want everyone to understand more is: Humanity’s current understanding of the world is like a blind man touching an elephant. When we touch the legs, we say it is a pillar, when we touch the belly, we say it is a wall, and when we touch the ears, we say it is a pillar. fan.

Indeed, the things we touch do exist objectively, but our cognition is also limited by the so-called "objectivity", resulting in us only seeing parts of reality, but not recognizing the reality. overall.

In this case, we might as well refresh our understanding now. Let us first reset our mentality to zero and re-understand the world.

Musk, a great man in the world today, has always believed that humans may live in a virtual computer scene.

Musk firmly believes that higher-dimensional civilization is likely to be our creator. Just like human beings are also simulating their own virtual worlds, such as online games:

"40 years ago, we had "Pong", which was two rectangles and a point. This was the beginning of the game. 40 years Finally, we have 3D simulations, and online games played by millions of people, and the technology is still developing, and soon we will have VR and AR worlds.

”

Imagine today’s online games. Its principle is as follows: we build a grand scene, then set up various monster-killing and upgrading programs, and then set up various characters, and finally let each ID be brought into it, which simulates a virtual world: various characters fight/cooperate with each other, and there is life and death. Many people are immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves...

Many people say that this kind of thing is too virtual, so let me ask a question: How can you prove that life is not a virtual game?

The universe has existed for nearly 14 billion years, and humans have appeared in The history of the earth is less than 10,000 years. From a statistical point of view, it is very likely that a civilization has existed during such a long period of time, and some scientists have found very credible simulation methods.

< p>According to the hypothesis of quantum physicist Hugh Everett, we live in a multiverse, where time is constantly branching and creating unique, connected universes

Life in each dimension. , are all created by the previous high-dimensional life. High-dimensional is the creator of low-dimensional.

Feel the thousands of years of human civilization history, is it always the case? Are there some fate-like things surrounding us that we cannot escape from, such as the way of heaven and various laws, cause and effect, good and evil will be rewarded, struggle/success/failure/ups and downs/love-hate separation, etc. Human beings can never escape from these. Theme, this is the fate of human beings.

We often talk about the fate of people and the cycle of life and death. I have always suspected that the so-called fate or destiny is the program and logic set by high-dimensional civilization.

Life in every dimension likes to create life. However, the created low-dimensional life has been designed with a program that can only be immersed in the world of its own dimension. High-dimensional life looks at low-dimensional life, maybe Just like we look at a group of ants, we feel that they are very busy all day long, and we don’t know why they are running around...

Think about it now, the era of artificial intelligence has arrived, and various robots are Invented, isn’t this the next dimension of species created by humans?

When humans are working hard to break through their own shackles, artificial intelligence is also working hard to evolve itself. When they reach the so-called singularity, What will happen?

Once the machine has thoughts, will it also start to have worries and emotions? Once the machine also thinks about the question "Who am I", humans will have successfully created it. A new creature.

Then, humans only need to construct a virtual scene and set a program for these machines, and a low-dimensional world will be formed: where all the machines will be. Operating under this kind of program, no one can escape the logic of this virtual world.

Just like human beings cannot escape their own destiny, this kind of program and logic have become the objective laws of the "machine world". , has become their universal value.

Human beings at this time will be like God now, hiding behind the "machine" and quietly observing all this. This is called: machine. When humans think, they laugh.

When the civilization of each dimension creates life in the next dimension, it will set an invisible shackles for them. The life in the next dimension will have to fight against this shackles throughout its life. Just like human beings have been breaking free from the shackles of their own destiny.

Civilization in every dimension is evolving, and will awaken when it evolves to a certain level.

In fact, people at both ends of the earth are trying to find the ultimate answer to mankind:

Look at the East first. The Chinese like to think from top to bottom. All Chinese thousands of years ago I began to think about the relationship between people and everything in the universe, and deduced the fundamental laws of change in everything. This is the "Book of Changes". I have always believed that the gossip in the Zhouyi is the logic and program set by high-dimensional civilization. The world is ever-changing, and we can never escape this law.

In order to understand the ultimate meaning of the universe, many people seek enlightenment and try to reach a higher-dimensional world. I believe that some people have already understood the secrets, which are the "mysterious and mysterious" things that Lao Tzu said. It can be called a "secret", but the secret must not be leaked. If I guess correctly, these knowledgeable people should have automatically realized the upgrade of the dimension, just like the upgrade of fighting monsters in the game.

Looking at the West, Westerners like to explore from the bottom up and study the objective world, so they only began to think about this ultimate question in modern times: In 2016, the famous science and technology magazine "The New Yorker" had an article saying, The entire Silicon Valley is obsessed with the concept of computer simulation, and many technology giants believe that the human real world is computer-generated. And two tech billionaires are already secretly recruiting scientists in the hope of liberating us from the simulation.

I really can’t imagine what will happen in the future, just like one day we suddenly pass through a black hole, what will we see? That was the scariest and greatest moment.

OK, now back to reality.

Considering that the world is so unknown and humans are so ignorant, what else can we find difficult to let go of?

The above is purely Shuimuran’s bold assumption
