[Discussion] Why there is something rather than nothing?

[Our Lord Sasuke]

I think this is one of the most famous questions, and I still wonder
Why we exist? Why there is a universe at all? Why there is time, space, life and all.. I am not religios person, I think the answer is no God and I want a plausible answer for why we exist

For an atheistic response, there is no reason as to why we exist. We just do.

I still wonder if the carbon life it was inevitable or just a accident

 

[Chikombo]

I remember thinking about the big bang as a kid and what was before, what was "nothiness" and it freaked me out, now hmmmmm, I honestly don't know. A religious person could say you might as well believe something and atheist would say it's healthier to accept you don't simply know.

accident... and you say that there's no God.

accident is a man-made construct that is used to describe an event that was not expected or of our perceived standards.

who's to say only that carbon life forms can exists or not exist? what of other life forms as well?
are you also just strictly saying life forms is what makes something exists?

also your question cannot be answered by our level of knowledge nor will we have the technological capabilities to gather data to even start a hypothesis, let alone test it.

so to answer your question: God, if that is not an adequate answer for you then oh well perhaps you should be more open-minded.

God is a concept to answer anything that we cannot answer as God is the reason, God is reality, God is everything, therefore, God is the answer.

I would not advice you to put that down as answer to exam questions though.

Well I remember when Lawrence Krauss said that virtual particles pop out in our existence via quantum fluctuations and borrow some energy from vacuum and in the same way, bubble of space time can do the same and can survive just only those who have total 0 energy.. but that mean there was some laws of quantum mechanics before our universe, not nothigness.

God, as interpreted by religious degenerates is a man-made construct that is used whenever humans cannot explain something but would like to claim so. That mentality gets us absolutely nowhere. It only perpetuates human stupidity. Your mentioning being 'open-minded' and the uppercut of irony that hit me is a good example.

If you want to dive into the archetypes of our reality; study energy, frequency, consciousness, quantum physics, etc. That shows genuine resolve to learn more combined with a rational mind. Don't settle with the religious interpretation of 'god' because you don't have an answer.

You're being something that was already there, activated and formed of sub-atomic particles that came from two other figures.

Dad and Mother, Both contributed to your creation. So you're asking why?, well it's at least a better state than perfection.

 

[Callypigia]

Purely hypothetical and academic. It is more important to exist than wonder the reason.

 

[JaphethCrenshaw]

I always get a weird creeping feeling that usually lasts for a second when I think about why the universe exists and what made it. I feel like whenever I think about it, something is calling to me but the signal drops one second in. Eh, Idk.

 

[Erotic L]

Such trivial questions are why suicide is so common nowadays. Mankind just exists. How we go from there is what's important.

Richard Feynman, when once asked a similar question, replied in that characteristic humble manner of his that he neither knows the answer nor the existence of an answer.

And long before Richard Feynman, the ancient Indians answered in a similar manner in a wonderful poem in the Rig Vega:

“Who knows for certain?

Who shall here declare it?

Whence was it born, whence came creation?

The gods are later than

this world's formation;

Who then can know the origins of the world?

None knows whence creation arose;

And whether he has or has not made it;

He who surveys it from the lofty skies.

Only he knows-

or perhaps he knows not.”

Now this – this is wisdom.

Compare the humility of that last verse – so characteristic of ancient Sanskrit literature – to the idea that the answer to our fundamental question was forever set in stone thousands of years ago by Middle Eastern goat herders, and that if you were to reject the answer furnished by those goat herders, you deserve to be killed in this life and eternally tortured in the afterlife.

I remember this poem but its construct was slightly altered.. the way I remember it. Especially the last verse. Which implies the source could be as clueless as us. It just is. Maybe through us.

 

[kimb]

We don't know yet.

 

[Lightbringer]

No one will ever know. That's the truth.

It's better to accept that you got the chance to exist and experience life than the alternative. The why is irrelevant.

Asking that question is just going in a rabbit hole.

My favorite past time is to ponder ideas such as this.

My view at this point in my life is that consciousness is an eternal and intelligent force that is all and in which all possibilities are expressed in the physical plane. Containing both the generative and radiant qualities, its both male and female in balance it is still.

Creation is expressed by this conscious force diving a portion of itself in polarity in order to express itself. The generative quality is female and brings all existence into being and the radiant quality is male giving of itself radiating its energy back to the feminate to repeat the cycle.

Each life in the physical plane is a point of attention of consciousness having an individual experience and in my opinion, the purpose is the experience and the playing out of all possibilities which as creation continues to evolve and become aware of what we truly are will be realized at greater unimaginable degrees.

What in God's name...

I doubt were alone. Statistically too many planets in the universe just to make 1 earth like civilization.

What is certain is that we are alive and we can enjoy life. We can search answers but maybe we are not ready to know them.
Maybe life is more common that we think and we don't know all the phisics laws. So it can be that we exist as a normal developement of matter.
I would say more but not in english :hmm:
