out of mind |
there is a place you can go, even for just a moment - to contemplate reality. to absorb knowledge. to become more scientifically literate than you were before. in this place you may see things that frighten you, that shock you, that force you to question the world around you. within this place you have the ability to discuss, contemplate & define your own inner peace. this is a place that strives to educate in order to achieve a more harmonious balance with the world & grasp the actions needed to perfect our life, our world or our own personal corner of the planet. within this place, your ideas, current education, ideals, traditions & religions may be tested. this place will challenge your mind, build your courage & embrace your fears. this place encourages you to understand your place in the universe. just like the world we know, this will not always be a safe place. this place is not a room to hide in, it is a gateway to a higher sense of purpose. this place is an open door that allows you to move freely at your own pace without prejudice or judgement. this is that place. and it's yours. and ultimately, it's whatever you need it to be in your place in time. peace & love to each of you. enjoy. |

Notes"I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking. The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there’s little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides."Carl Sagan (via brainflush)

When you hear about Bill Gates and Warren Buffet donating billions upon billions to charity, you need to understand what they are really doing, they are trying to reduce the population of other countries and if you don’t believe me, watch my next video.

Notes
actually your science textbook would tell you that scientists do not know for a fact how the universe and life on earth began, that there are just theories, some more plausible than others, but all with their supporters and detractors, and with all cosmological theories there are still discoveries that seem to contradict or not fit in with what we know or think we know.
True, but nobody in science claims ultimate knowledge in any subject. Science is not a proving process, it is a falsifying process. Nothing is proven in science beyond predictions made by a theory and theories are revised due to new evidence.
That being said, does this mean that the process explained in a theory is false? No. A theory is an explanation of how and why something happens, the phenomena itself is not judged by the validity of the theory. Just because the theories are in dispute does not mean that scientists disagree that the phenomena happened or is happening, merely that they disagree with the explanation.
When it comes to the gravitational singularity, the discussion is much more about the origins. That’s when you get 11 dimension m-theory, loop quantum gravity, and so on and so forth. They disagree in the explanations, but they don’t disagree with the gravitational singularity. You see where I’m going with this?
I specify the term abiogenesis in my explanation because that is the title given to the theory of the origins of life and it is a developing theory. That being said, it’s hard to deny when we already have empirical proof that some organic material can be synthesized via inorganic material (such as amino acids formed in the Miller-Urey experiment, the nucleotides formed in the meteorite recently found by NASA and so on and so forth).
We may not have a unified theory, but we have evidence and from that evidence there are certain things in which we can conclude and agree on that happened.
