View Full Version : Theory to explain all (big bang, expanding universe, multi universes, etc...)

A theory I have came about once….
The theory that I pondered was that maybe the universe in whole is just a mind for a god? The god’s mind would be born when the god, or put in reference to humans, was born in real life (or big bang). Then as the god (human) grew, it learned and increased it mind potential or grew….. the expanding universe? Maybe this god is just one many trillions of gods who live among another civilization. This could be explain why we think of parallel universes so much? My friend asked me a question, “dude, what would you do if a beam of light hit you from the heavens (another theory.. a beam of light travels thru the universe and whatever it hits or encountered, that person or thing would be blessed with all the knowledge in the universe. (Weird theory). Anyways, he continues on asking me what would I do if that happened to me, I responded… “ well if you knew everything in the universe, I think it would mean that you are the universe. Because your mind would be just as massive as the universe because you hold all knowledge of it. Understand? So that’s how I came about with the notion that maybe think of the universe as a massive mind… or a god’s mind? When I say god, I don’t reference to our intake on god, I mean god as in all knowing being. Well maybe these all knowing being are just normal people that live in their own world which is just one location in a more massive universe! It could continue forever. We cant grasp or even comprehend infinity! Never, the sheer number or magnitude would be too much for our pitiful minds to comprehend. We can only see to the heavens as ants could see to us. It is like what cell are to us, we are made of many cells, I mean a lot!. Well maybe those cells live in their own smaller universe of entirely of existence. What fleas are to us, we are to a god. hmmm.There universe makes us up, well our universe makes a god up. Understand? So I leave this theory with you, this theory shows how the big bang began (god was born, or mind was born), the expanding universe(or universe could also be referenced to mind so the mind is expanding because the god is growing and becoming smarter), and of course parallel universe or multiple dimensions (almost referenced that one universe is just one mind of one god of many gods that live in a civilization as we would do0. trillions of them in one location of a more massive universe!! I hope that you understood my theory and I ask you to think things through and think of how small we really are in this entirely of existence. Thank you.


P.s> thought of something else. I can also reference to real time, the big bang happened and when it did, time and space was created. Ever since the big bang (or god was born) time started, well maybe a god’s lifetime is in the billions as ours are only around 80. See the same kind of reference of live but just at a grander scale. Thank you

with our present knowledge concerning the universe it´s possible to make any suggestion our mind makes up.

but i´m glad not be the only one....

What you are proposing is a form of existential philosophy. How do we know that we really exist? How do we know that we can trust what our senses are telling us? While these questions are at least somewhat interesting to contemplate when you really have nothing better to do with your time, you really don't get very much for your efforts. The fertile ground for religion and philosophy is attempting to provide meaning and context to our existence. Philosophers and theologists are most comfortable trying to make up answers to questions which are essentially unanswerable. That is to say that there is no way to test their assertions for accuracy other than to point out obvious logical fallacies or inconsistencies.

Science can be distinguished from these other intellectual pursuits by examining the kinds of questions scientists try to answer and the methods they employ to find those answers. Ideally, a scientist will attempt to formulate concepts and models of the universe with empirically testable consequences. It is only by comparing these models to reality that we are able to tell if we our proposed "answers" are correct, or even in the right ballpark.

Metaphysical questions often lead to good science. Unfortunately our mathematics has developed to the point that we can make any theory as complicated as we want. Then it is left up to the experimenter to be crafty enough to devise a method of proving or disproving key points. This is why many favor eloquence in formulas and simplicity. If a theory can’t be formulated into “physical measurables” there is really no place to go.

Hate to break the news to you, but that theory has been around since as long as I can remember (about 12 years). It goes something like this....

"Let there be light." (Big Bang)

"Let there be darkness." (Big Crunch)

"Let there be man." (Evolution)

You see? The problem with the Bible's reference to the beginning of time is that it says in "days." But we don't know how long the reference to a "day" was back when time started.

If the universe is infact expanding will it eventually slam into it's self resulting in a "Big Crunch" causing another "Big Bang" letting there be "Man" all over agsin? :p










I think! Therefore I really don't Know!T

That one completely depends on whether or not evolution will take the same path it did this time.

To be blank, we don't know exactly how old the universe is. We currently think it's about 11 billion years old, but that's just the time after the Big Bang. How do we know that the Big Bang we know of isn't the only one that ever occured? This could be man's first time through in this universe, or it could be our fifty-first. We just don't know what happened beyond 11 billion years.
