Life is an emergent feature of this universe

Preface
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, former Chief Sephardi Rabbi of Israel and spiritual leader of the Shas Party, publicly stated: “Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world” — and compared the lives of non-Jews to donkeys kept alive only to serve Jews.

For those who reject this as a basis for an anti-Semitic or anti Zionist rant, please research the words in the preface.

Trust, but verify.

Never mind the fucking finger, look at the moon.

Executive Summary

I believe that life is an emergent feature of the laws of physics in this universe. Sentience is the consciousness of the universe, the means by which it realises itself.

Reality is a product of observation, which is the point at which the quantum wave of all possible states collapses into one.

The moral part of my calculus is based on the principle of reciprocity: you’ll know it best as - do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

As Buddha, I also believe that the removal of the source of suffering is our duty, our burden, our gift and the source of our joy.

Win win: not zero sum.

Note: I’m not a physicist, just read a lot.

Considerations

Is this pantheism? Shares elements of, is the most honest approach. Classical pantheism, in Spinoza’s formulation, essentially equates God with Nature. His universe is the divine, a single infinite substance.

While there are similarities, my view is an epistemological one. I claim that sentience is the mechanism by which the universe achieves self-realisation, and that observation collapses quantum possibility into actuality.

Just backing up a moment in order to set the scene;

Entropy is the tendency of the universe towards randomness, chaos, its initial condition, circa the Big Bang. Life is the opposite: life pushes back against entropy because it is organised, structured, ordered, logical, the very antithesis of chaos and randomness.

The arrow of entropy is in the same direction as the arrow of time; this is just a lofty way of saying- shit gets worse over time.

Need more proof than Pedo in chief? FREE EPSTEIN FILES otherwise this entropy shit gets worse over time.

And, before Sheldon leaps in with cudgel and sharpened knives, allow me to caveat my gross simplification above on two foundational points;

Entropy

Actually, life creates local pockets of order given that there’s is so very, very, very little of it in this Brobdingnagian universe, apparently lifeless. If this world were the only instance of life in the universe, would the universe cease to come in to being if we destroyed the planet and all life on it?

A bit like ”if tree falls in a forest and there is no one to hear it, does it make a sound?” Or ”if a man makes a statement in a forest and there is no woman to hear it, is he still wrong?” I think, no, and yes, respectively.

So, the reality is that while life reverses entropy in the local space, it does so at the expense of consuming more energy than it stores, thus actually accelerating net entropy in the rest of the possibly lifeless universe. Are we, this planet, the last rearguard? Technically, life is entropy’s most efficient engine, not its opponent.

To sum up, the position based on the best scientific understanding today, life represents local complexity against the thermodynamic tide (aka entropy), not a net reversal.

So, my position here is an optimistic one; we fight the local battle, not the wider war against entropy and by that calculus, simplistically put; life reverses entropy.

Do I have your permission to continue, Sheldon?

Quantum mechanics

Again, my position stated above is a gross simplification of the actual wording of the physical law being articulated.

As ever, when the law’s concerned, human or physical, the devil is in the detail. The observer effect in quantum mechanics doesn’t require consciousness, it requires interaction with a measuring apparatus. Does the universe know that consciousness installed the measuring device?

An example is the double slit experiment (a light projected through two holes to a screen); without measuring apparatus, the light through both slits creates a wave, but, and this is truly weird, as if the universe is watching us, the instant measuring equipment is put in place, no wave just particle; thus light is both wave and particle.

For this interpretation I’m using as a crutch the Wigner/von Neumann interpretation, which may be a minority position, but not quite out in loopy lou land.

With that borrowed ethos, Sheldon, may I continue?

With this yarn.

I believe that ethics is about harm towards sentient beings, all beings, not just human; as sentience is foundational to life, harm done, is harm done to the fabric of the universe. Every life lost, increases entropy, every life born pushes back.

At present, the human contribution to entropy reversal is in the black; the P&L is looking good, despite the best efforts of golom’s covenant with his god of entropy.

According to worldometer, the stock exchange of lives, the real-time counter shows approximately 363,000 births and 174,000 deaths daily — a net gain of roughly 189,000 lives per day; about the typical attrition rate of your average genocide.

I don’t know if this snapshot figure takes account of the Darfur genocide, the Gaza Hunger Games, etc. Barbara Harff documented 43 episodes of genocide and politicide between 1945 and 2004 alone.

In Buddha’s name, remove the cause of this suffering; this obscene masquerade of governance, which is nothing more than a cess pool of celebration of the humiliation, degradation and destruction of the Semites, people. An intent so sadistic, it would make the marquis de Sade blush.

So many evil folk causing real world damage to the very fabric of reality, to the universe. So many souls lost, that will never make their contribution to the fabric of life, to the fight against entropy. So many lost voices gone…

And golom’s going for 100% - chosen ones. Wouldn’t it be ironic if as he gets closer to his biblically insane goal, the universe slowly fades away. Donkey karma ran over golom’s dogma. The world golom wants for the chosen exclusively will not exist without the reality producing consciousness of the donkeys, an interesting inversion of his goyim serve the chosen bollocks.

The gap, the cloze

A typical language exercise uses something called cloze. Basically a body of text has some words removed and the aim is to fill the gaps left with the missing word. A cloze exercise. Cloze, gap fill.

What the fuck is the old fart babbling about now? What’s this got to do with the price of eggs?

Down, down! I have an admission to make, there’s a cloze in my belief system.

Four fundamental forces

These are the two nuclear forces, strong and weak, plus magnetism and gravity, listed in terms of force range; shortest to longest. The cloze I have is in the strong nuclear force, and its a real bugger of a conundrum.

The logical stumbling block is that the strong nuclear force sits at approximately 0.007 (licence to live, not kill) on the coupling constant scale. Had this been less by 0.001, protons in the early universe would not have bonded. Hydrogen, the first and and most widely distributed would not have clumped to form stars. No stars, no star dust, no life. No golom, Epstein, pedo! FREE EPSTEIN FILES.

Had this been greater by 0.001, protons in the early universe would have bonded so hard they’d collapse into super dense clumps. Hydrogen, the first and and most widely distributed would have clumped so damned hard, you’d get black holes not stars. No stars, no star dust, no life. No stars, no star dust, no life. No golom, Epstein, pedo! EPSTEIN FILES IS INNOCENT.

You see the flaw? 0.001 delta, no life.

Fred Hoyle, a scientist who was a committed atheist, was so disturbed by this and the related triple-alpha carbon resonance that he said the universe looked like “a put-up job.”

So, how does one square the circle? (I know, it’s a Euclidean impossibility. Pi is an irrational number).

The fine-tuned universe is the proposition that the conditions that allow life in the universe can occur only when certain universal dimensionless physical constants lie within a very narrow range of values, so that if any of several fundamental constants were only slightly different, the universe would be unlikely to be conducive to the establishment and development of matter, astronomical structures, elemental diversity, or life as it is understood.

But, I ask myself, do I really need a designer to explain fine-tuning by intentional design?

Is it no more than the universe’s own nature expressing itself through the only boundary conditions that permit it to become self-aware, consciousness, sentience? I know, it’s beginning to look like scope creep; more towards Leibniz than to Genesis. Not a creator god, but something more like intrinsic necessity.

Hmmm. So,

Option 1. The multiverse concept arises from string theory that maintains the Planck scale units of matter are little, wavy, squirmy things, not point-like particles. Differences between everything is frequency related. Bit like the light spectrum.

The maths of the Planck scale underpinning this has to assume more dimensions than our macro level of 4: long, broad, high, and time. String theory/s need 10 or 11, depending on which one you want to bring up your child believing; for some women this is a deal breaker, the stuff of divorce.

Given what we can do with 4 dimensions, it will not surprise you, alarm, yes, surprise, no, what happens when you have 10 or 11. The maths sees, as no human can possibly see, a densely, packed node. The node, contains gazillions of different boundary conditions, each defining different universes, each with different boundary conditions, including ours, running at 0.007 for the strong nuclear force.

Gazillions of universes? Predict everything?

This fails the Popper test for falsifiability; that is, what event of observation would contradict your theory?

With a gazillion universes, the answer is none.

That’s not science, that’s faith.

Option 2.
I claim that life is an emergent feature of the laws of physics in the universe.

Occam’s razor = Option 2?

God as cloze, not magic.
