What is the answer to the Universe, meaning of life and everything else as well?

Asker's Pick

Selected by the asker, Cogito Ergo Sum 3.0. (What's this?)

Maybe the transfer of conscious information from one dimension to another? From the physical universe thoughout one's life then on to the Quantum Universe, once we are dead. Personally, I feel that the physical body is the only way for the "soul" I.E. consciouness to interect and influence the our physical reality. It plausible to assume that when we die our bodies decompose into other elements and our consciouness goes entirely quantum. This would allow us to access all knowlege when we are dead. I believe that the universe acts as a giant recorder for all knowelege and records the entire conscious expericences of every person that has ever walked this earth without their knowelge or consent.

Comments

A rather difficult but promising opinion.
I don't entirely agree with you about "the transfer of conscious information from one dimension to another", although T. Banks (physicist) had similar ideas. He combines modern physics with the concept of rebirth in the form of Boltzmann brains. [1]

I'm not entirely sure that my personal opinion about the transfer of human conscious is entirely correct. Its mearly my own conclusions. I had spent alof of sleepless nights thinking about such things. It is confusing and when I start to think about such things again I feel a sharp pain inside of my head. lol Our consciouness has to go somewhere when we die. Maybe it is somehow attached to the fabric of the universe itself and we are just unaware of it? Could the universe it self be like one giant mind or Quantum Computer?? Maybe the universe is alive in a way that humans do not understand? I was thinking the otherday about the afterlife and ghosts. Are ghosts proof that an afterlife exists and that consciousness can exitst without the physical body? For most ghosts ability to respond to intelligent command without help. Does this proove that most ghosts are the former consciousness of deceased individuals?

Those are indeed difficult questions and trust me, even the scientists are fully engaged in unraveling the nature of the universe (on micro-and macroscopic scale).
Many theories have been developed in different branches of physics (for example: Supersymmetry, EPR paradox, quantum immortality...).
Theories that attempt to explain the reality at a level many times beyond our own imagination. So although the answers remain unknown, those questions are shared worldwide by many people.

About your ghosts and afterlife, I personally don't believe they exist.
Through induction however, I can't base my negation (because I have never seen a ghost, ditto about the afterlife).
Nevertheless, a counter-argument would be that I have never seen atoms, or photons, or dark matter; yet I accept the fact that they exist, by assuming the scientific evidence.

Deduction is therefore the main reason I do not believe.
Where is the afterlife? How did it come into existence?
What is a ghost? Can you isolate a ghost from an environment? Is it build upon atoms and particles? And can you measure it's energy?

Eventually, there are many things written about the afterlife and ghosts, but until there is scientific evidence (whether it is an illusion or not), I will not accept it.

PS: By accepting that ghosts as the former consciousness of deceased individuals, do you accept that they can feel, think, communicate and experience, just like us?

I think that ghosts must have the ability to engange in an intelligent manner for its ability to respind to specific conmmands , but not entirely. It almost as if the ghost chooses to remain in a specific location for what ever reason. I don't think a ghost can feel or experiece like we can. I think its like quantum immortality that can interact to some extent to stimuli and still gain some degree of conscious perception. How can millions of people spanning thousands of years make up such false claims of ghostly phenomenon and it be pure fantisy? Something is going on that man cannot explain and I hope the Quantum Mechanics will reveal the answer to me.

I suppose you could analyze what a ghost is if you could find a way to create a device that could trap it. Possibly, by coming up with different theories as to what phenomenon is going on and create different technology to see which one would work in capturing the ghost. I wonder if some sort of electromagnetic/ ion trap would work? People that have encountered such ghosts have said that there is changes in the tempurature surrounding them and electromagnetic energy can be picked up from with devices. Where electrical appliances and lights can flicker. I think the theory pertaining to Quantum Immortality would make sense regarding the afterlife. Its wild stuff. The thing that I enjoy about Quamtum Theory is that its so bizaar and unpredictible, unlike Classical Mechanics that governs our physical reality.

Maybe the afterlife is nothing more than a alteration of our conscious perception from physical consciousness that resides within the brain locally in a physical universe to an entirly quantum consciousness that appears physical when in reality is based entirly on thought alone? If Quantum Immortality is real, then where is there proof of such phenomenon? I believe it lies in Remote Viewing. Where the human conscious perception is only partially temporarily quantum immortal. Would this mean that human intelligence can exist outside of the body as well? If this were true then can our intelligence not be limited by the physical body? Can we train our intelligence to become temporarily limitless?
