Mind-blowing - the realisation that the Universal envelope is at the level of the human mind. 20th century notions of physical evolution or expansion of the Universe are about to die off to a new model of Universal development at the level of the human mind. This basic idea changes everything. Although it has been fashionable to research the physical Universe and consider travel into space - human beings (the emergence of the mind) are evidence that we're no longer much concerned with 'up' (the physical abstraction layer) there. Reality fundamentally changed with the development of first neurone (and its template structure upon the Schumann resonance) some several hundred million years ago ... ... much like the relationship between DNA (template) and RNA.
This is one the kids and I spoke about, especially if your kids are into space, aliens and blackholes. Chris Williamson at Modern Wisdom spoke to Dr David Kipping, an astronomer, a professor at Columbia University and a researcher. They discussed a bunch of cool questions like: what actually happens as you approach the speed of light, if there is any chance of finding intelligent life out there in the universe, how big the universe actually is, the biggest questions we still have about black holes, how the moon was created, whether time is infinite or if the universe will ever end and much more... The 4 BIG IDEAS: **Our Cosmic Rarity: Earth's habitability may be far more unusual than previously thought. The combination of our solar system's structure, Earth's large moon, our sun's stability, and our position in the galaxy could be exceptionally rare. This insight challenges our assumptions about the prevalence of life in the universe and offers a possible explanation for the Fermi Paradox. **The Fragility of Technological Civilizations: Advanced civilizations may be inherently unstable or self-limiting. The numerous existential risks we face (climate change, nuclear war, pandemics) could be common to all technological civilizations. This insight suggests that the greatest challenge for intelligent life might not be evolving, but surviving its own technological adolescence. **The Revolutionary Potential of Exomoon Discovery: Finding exomoons could be as transformative for astronomy and our understanding of the universe as the discovery of exoplanets was. Exomoons could potentially harbor life, influence planetary habitability, and fundamentally change our understanding of planetary system formation and dynamics. **The Mind-Bending Implications of Cosmic Deep Time: The universe's potential future spans trillions of years, dwarfing its current age. This vast timescale opens up possibilities for stellar engineering, the evolution of life in seemingly impossible environments, and raises profound philosophical questions about the nature of existence and humanity's cosmic significance. Made me appreciate just how unique the earth and human life is and how large the universe and the potential ahead of us is. https://lnkd.in/ej_Pb-yF
