You wanna get together later and rub our dust together?

Excellent band, by the way.

Is there a word for this type of hypersimplification to evoke wonder? If not, can we coin one?

The cosmos is within us. We are made of star stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.

Carl Sagan.

Holy shit. That was pretty profound.

An explosion is pure entropy. It's high energy releasing to a low energy state in an uncontrolled manner

We climb down the energy slope very slowly to reverse entropy and create order

The universe is like us - temporary order emerges as it slides towards entropy

Just recently mentioned the conscious universe theory in conversation with a friend.

The paragraphing has gone all the way through readable back to "I'm not reading this".

I hate that this is popular. This is a creationist level understanding of the big bang.

You ever use a spray can for a while and the can gets cold? It's more like that.

I heard Bill Wurtz voice while I read this

But it wasn't really an explosion, it was more like a spontaneous, insane inflation that found itself suddenly huge and empty, only after it was through with that particular stage did it zap itself full of energy and matter everywhere all at once. Then it continued growing in volume and thinning out via regular ol' relativistic expansion.

EDIT: looking a little bit closer, there's the thing about zapping all over itself after Inflation, it was almost perfectly half-and-half matter/antimatter, which then proceeded to join and annihilate into pure energy, but for some reason probably related to the Weak Force, just a little bit more matter was created than antimatter.

And that's what we are and see today, 1 part out of every 8 million-and-one. For every 4,000,000 parts antimatter, there were 4,000,001 parts matter, only that 1 left over particle of matter, multiplied a bazillion times.

That's just a whole other level of amazing than just saying "an explosion".

Life is anything that moves, reproduces, senses, grows, respires, excretes and eats.

Consciousness is more mysterious and less well defined.
