The relatively new, in terms of religion, and relatively old, in terms of scientific theory, concept of the so called "Big Bang" as the original instant of creation of our universe is an elegant and simplistic explanation of what I consider an extremely complex event. Since that is the only real objection against the event, I postulate against, and I propose something as deservingly, or expectedly complex.
If we look at our universe as an example of how long such complex events, namely the unwinding of the "Big Bang" event, we see several elements critical to establishing a basis for redefining the events which put the construct of our reality together. Cardinal amongst these phenomena which I extrapolate from in our physical status is the principal of entropic decay, which acts as a directional arrow for the time construct we impose. Forms of energy, and almost everything decay, moving from useful and organized, to less useful and disorganized. I propose that process is part of a sine wave of energy interaction in the relative processes of decay and construct. Think about it, we are active participants in the dissolution of energy, and it is likely that an opposite process, i.e. the construction of our universe, took an opposite but equal amount of time, complexity and experimentation as our own situation.
Energy will continue to decay logarithmically until it bottoms out, then I would expect it would rise exponentially, for whatever reason, be it a conversion of evolution into an environment needing construction, or otherwise. From that starting point, inverse of what we term the starting point of our universe, a situation of perfect organization and utilization, the inverse of logarithmic decay will occur, exponential construction. This will happen until the state of perfect organization and structure epoch. Perhaps that moment, that ideal is what we describe as infinite.
If we extrapolate in the same manner, it would be foreseeable that an inverse creature to ourselves would present at some point. I mean that not in the sense of symmetry, but as per our definition as a members of a evolutionarily based organic tract. I also propose that these expected anti "organic" items during the creation of our universe will be complex, and somewhat beyond our explanation. I propose that we have devised the idea and term God/s for the part of our nature which leads us to question, subconsciously this situation with a rational mind. Perhaps such entities, all the way up from single cells to the inverses of hyper-complex entities would experience infinite constantly, and the finite ideas of time or death would be far beyond their grasp.
This idea to me, it is only a curiosity, but curiosity grows like a tree, like all other things. From this springs a curiosity for what shall happen next along our evolutionary tract. I find it to be the reason i strive to be anything at all, to grow, to evolve by any means possible. But that alone poses a question, will it be beautiful or horrible to evolve? Will we only grow into more and more efficient dissolutioners, or will we transform into something we find it beautiful to be in the eating of usefulness and organization?
I find entropy to be one of the most interesting aspects of our universe. Our Sun is decaying to a point of extinction. Earth and other planets are drifting further from the sun and weakening their gravity. After birth, we all become closer and closer to death. Death exists and controls on a macro level beyond human and Earthly existence into the essence of the universe.
ReplyDeleteI think these creatures you seek which possess an inverse nature to entropy would be the things that balance out humanity's entropic nature like the bacteria that eat human skin cells and other dead matter. Another example would be the eyebrow mites that live in eyebrow hair follicles of humans. Interestingly, these mites live only an average of something like 14 days. What's your opinion of this? Do you think something that grows and thrives on the entropic aspects of humanity (dead skin cells) is the inverse of entropy? I don't think I have the answer to this, very interested in your response
Actually entropic decay is the directional arrow for time, no entity, no matter, no energy is exempt from the process. Energy always degrades in form and usefulness. When you eat food, solid mass is converted to heat and atp in your body. Your eyebrow mites do the same thing, converting the nutrients into energy for movement, heat, and other bodily process.
ReplyDeleteWhat i propose here is larger, rather that all things that exist in our universe follow this process. But we are all finite, so is our universe. At some point i propose an entropic "bottoming out" When there is no energy left to spread out. Then i propose that the process inverts, giving rise to a whole new set of conditions, i imagine the opposite of entropy, the constant and evolving re-collaboration of energy. It would be logical to surmise that in a universe as vast and random as our own, that these conditions would give rise to genetic evolution like our own, propagating "creatures" which would be "inverses" of ourselves, only in the way that instead of creating entropic decay, they would generate entropic growth.
