What if the our entire solar system is just one giant "Atom" in a much larger creature who's blood is what we percieve as space. Our solar system does look a lot like a nucleus (the sun) with electrons swirling in a circular patern around it.
What if everything around us isn't what we percieve it to be, but instead what our animal minds trick us into beleiving it is.
What if consciousness is defined by a few atoms in our very bodies that make us in control in this body and when we die the atoms swirl off and take billions of years to accidently come back together and form us.
NOTE: Time is relative. We observe it on this planet at this speed. As we all know as speed increases time decreases as proven many many times.
What if I am everyone....there is truley only one default consciousness and it's me which in turn makes it you also, which is also me.
What is religion truley is a product of evolution. As stated by evolution we stemmed from other animals, which in turn most of have an alpha male. As evolution make more intelligent creatures the formation of the alpha male proved impossible, so in tern we made our own (much better than us, omnipotent even) alpha male in order to fill that evolution made void in our very minds. That would explain why every culture around the world has it's own differnt non-overlaping religion.
These are questions that I think of while I walk down the street. My mind tends to wander on these lonely walks. I realize how small and insignificant my mass is compared to the entire universe. I also realize that matter is simply energy and when broken the release of that energy is more observable. I realize how much destruction just my body could cause if every atom in it were to split. I wonder about making a knife so sharp that the blade is 1/2 an atom thick so it could release this energy instantly destroying itself.
I guess that's all you guys just a few things I think about sometimes....
What if the Silver Surfer possessed the Infinity Gauntlet? :P
one can never prove they are or are not a brain in a jar dreraming this reality...
For some odd reason, I had thoughts of this type from a very early age... I can remember sitting under the kitchen table when I was a kid three or four years old.. I'd look at the table legs and 'imagine', or 'realize', that what I and my parents, and everyone else thought of as reality was only an illusion.... I felt great secret comfort in realizing that the whole world as i concieved it, as my parents and other 'big people' concieved it, was actually contained within a small whorl on the woodgrain of the chair leg of the table I was sitting under... It was quite a shock when I found out that GOD, was sitting at the table eating dinner, while all of us 'little beings' and all the stuff in the universe swirled around on that table leg...... sal
Ditto, I have always wondered, are we just a cell in a an animal. Or are we just a proton within the universal element.
