It is not any more far-fetched than a being who walks over water, or heals diseases, or resuscitates. Or black holes that trap light. Or quantum entanglement. When one begins to see things as just the natural laws at work, regardless of creators, one relaxes lots of obstacles to the mind.
I hope you will like this as much as I do. I suspect you will. youtu.be/h6fcK_fRYaI?...
It's because we're baby brained ground monkeys that we like to pretend daddy will have a chat with us about how confusing being an evolved amoeba can be, especially to folks who never learned much about biology. Why our Universe becomes colder? Something to do with Hawking radiation and black holes?
I take it you didn't like The Egg?
Well, just another afterlife fantasy designed to appeal to fearful monkeys hope for something other than the oblivion their familiar with from previous experience, not something they are born with, in fact, if taught scientific theories of its own life, they wouldn't mind oblivion as an alternative.
Biological life, from a scientific perspective, if the universe life was 100 years like a human, could only exist within the first four seconds, for example, that's a long time watching black holes orbit each other.
It's OK to think about living for thousands of years, I think that's what religion is supposed to satisfy, that desire to live, certainly something we are born with, although so is the male spider of some species desire to throw itself into the mouth of its children's mother...perhaps even better?
All matter that isn't inside a black hole will fall apart with the expanding universe, I wonder if that has something to do with Hawking radiation of the back hole we are inside, if that is what is causing the expansion of the universe, like a leaky black hole.
What about doggy woggles in The Egg? Are they also me? Spiders? Why not, brings nature into the play, hippies and people who don't understand biology just love natural things.
Day and night of Brahma
Hindus are so spiritual, they have temple prostitutes, the orphaned girls of the untouchable classes, forced to become so when as young as eight, and not something from 100 years ago, I believe they still exist for exclusive use by the Brahman, the highest class of Hindu religious person. Not a fan.
And I heard Hawking radiation's supposed to speed up, over time, perhaps as the surface area of the black hole reduces but the radiation doesn't, don't know, but supposedly it gets all too much, hypothesis, final, most powerful explosions ever, are when the last of these SMBH's explode into photons.
I am thinking that we must be inside one, it would explain a lot, nothing can escape, so, when our universe is getting colder, perhaps the black hole we are inside, is creating space from the Hawking radiation that's dissolving the black hole we exist within, as nothing can escape from it save that.
When the universe we exist within reaches entropy zero, a flat 'infinite' (some sort of time loop because of the black hole we are inside, effectively making it infinite) plane, so no differentiation, makes time irrelevant, and thus space, black hole we exist within in its universe, has disappeared?
Perhaps another big bang ensues inside that black hole. Which could be an interpretation for the multiverse with which Marvel polluted us.
It's really just another version of infinite turtles, all the way down, but the best I can come up with at present.
I recall a short story about a quantum computer, as it explained, was able to achieve its accelerated "quantum" algorithm properties by existing in multiple parallel universes (such that the algorithm also ran in parallel). But the issue was people nearby were also transported to those alternates.
You will love, probably the best, most memorable of Asimov's short stories, certainly worth the read, you can find it in its entirety online, called The Last Question, about exactly that sort of a computer. It figures out the answer at the end.
Yes, I read that one years ago. :)
