"In a universe where time appears to be infinite you‟ll take a finite number of breaths. You‟ll speak a finite number of words. You‟ll see a finite number of blades of grass. You‟ll meet a finite number of people. Every moment of your life that ticks by was the only chance in all of eternity for you to experience that moment. That makes every moment of your life (no matter how mundane it may seem) infinitely rare and thus infinitely valuable.

Despite the infinite value of life, someday you‟ll die. Why? What happens after we die? We don‟t know. We make up explanations about death that make us feel better about it, but the truth of the matter is you don‟t get to decide what happens after you die. What you believe doesn‟t change or prove anything. The only thing believing in an after-death scenario proves is you‟re too weak and afraid to admit your ignorance. You may think you‟re doing yourself a favor by creating an explanation to hide from your fears behind, but ultimately all your self-serving fantasies really accomplish is misleading you in life. Simply putting off worrying about death until the last minute isn‟t going to help you either because you won‟t be able to make the most out of life until you work through the stages of grief over your own mortality. Only then will you be able to soberly accept that you‟re going to die and get on with making the most of the time you have left in a logical, conscious way. In order to accomplish all of those things the wisest course of action is to just admit your ignorance and work within the parameters of the unknown."


This guy just got to me - what he says could also apply to the term 'religion'.
Whats your thoughts?


this was a quote from a book named "Why - A Logical Explanation of Life"

neat

is cool story no lie

time doesnt appear to be infinite in our universe , its a finite quality

Well, I think it's more accurate to say that because nothing that happened before the big bang could have affected things that happened after it, we might as well set time t = 0 at the instant the Big Bang happened. So there could still be an infinite amount of time preceding the Big Bang (e.g. our universe could be the rebounding of a previous universe's Big Crunch and we could never know), but for all intents and purposes it's physically meaningless to assert that anything happened before time t = 0.

And of course, there's always the theory that the Time dimension acted as a spatial dimension at the very beginning, and only separated as its own type of dimension after the Big Bang, but I don't know much about that one. I think it's part of either String or M theory, but I forget which.

Here & Now

HOLD THE FUCK UP
THE BULLSHIT ACADEMIC CORPERATE BRAINWASH SCIENCE WANTS U TO BELIEVE IN THE BIG BANG WHER THE UNIVERSE WILL EVENTUALLY DIE IN THE'RE BULLSHIT THEORY CRAFTED BLACK HOLES BECUASE ITS JUST AN EXTENTION OF CHRISTIANITY

they dont want people to know the truth that universe is an truely eternal with the sole force in the universe being electricity

Big Bang is not an extension of Christianity. That's just retarded, and electricity is literally not a force. Go learn some science, you fool.

What are you talking about?
Science and religion is like ying & yang.

It has been scientifically proven that earth, and our sun, will one day cease to exisst due to the sun collapsing on itself, so to speak.

I'm not sure if your stupid, or just trolling.

That's a very eye-opening quote, and makes you consider a lot of the petty things we deal with on a day to day basis. Thank you for sharing.
