We will never know

It's all about what people want to believe at this point.

Personally, I'd take science side of things anytime, I don't believe in all the religion stuff with heaven and hell like you mentioned, and reincarnation you mentioned, thats a religion thing I believe... theres been some crazy stories i've read about people knowing about their past life.. but who knows

Aliens, I think it's well impossible to have millions of different planets and to be the only one with living creatures of sorts on it.

All on what you believe I guess.. Some people are raised to believe in different things, my whole family is Catholic, but ehhhh not me lmao

Mrv8gaming4K wrote Anyone have any ideas on how the universe was created?
What existed before space?
Do you think there's something more than the universe, that we can't see?

If reincarnation is real then would we be reincarnated as another animal/human on earth or on a different planet?

Do you think we die then just keep reliving our life but in different ways?

Anyone think that when we die it will be like a dream?

If "heaven" and "hell" are real then wouldn't it be abit crowded?

Does the government's know more about death that we know? How do they know people don't feel pain after they are dead?



If aliens are real why would the government keep it a secret?
There are so many planets out in space there has to be 1 other planet with life on.

I've always wondered why we send signals into space. Because even if something did send a signal back it would of been sent so long ago there would be no point pursuing it?
And for "aliens" to look at out planet from millions of light years away they are actually looking at what out planet looked like millions of years ago? So goes for us??(sorry if the last bit is confusing, I'm sure someone will know something about space and can correct me:) )





I think everyone has a right to belive in what ever they want to belive in so I have tried not to involve religion in this but I was curious in the heaven theory.

I just quickly wrote this so somethings might be confusing.

I'm just curious in what you people think so please feel free to comment .

I tend to go with the big bang theory, but before that who knows tbh, its the philosophical question for the ages. There could be other Universes, but we'll have to first explore our own Universe before being able to look beyond. Truthfully I think absolutely nothing happens after we die, we die and we're dead and the Earth is now the responsibility of those still alive. I would imagine nobody knows more about death than anybody else, its the ultimate end so its one of those things that all of us must just wait and see what happens. If there are aliens that our government knows of than I really don't blame them for keeping the aliens a secret. We can barely accept and understand fellow humans, we'd lose our minds in the event of an entirely new sentient species. If it was a non-sentient species, we'd probably just try and take over their planet and dig it for oil or something. It would be best if aliens never showed themselves, but I agree that they must be out there. There are simply to many planets for none of them to be in a similar configuration of Earth. Yes, depending on how far away other life forms are, they could be looking down at Earth through a telescope and seeing Dinosaurs and think there's nothing doing on the planet. We really just send out the signals in hopes that the alien beings will have the capabilities of contacting us with technology far greater than our own. If they could send a probe moving at 1000000x the speed of light, then they could potentially get the probe into our solar system, and have it somehow move messages between us and the aliens all in (relatively) short amount of time.

The doctor and the tardis made the universe

It was always here. There's no such thing as the start of the universe

When you put God and anything supernatural aside I think there is only one logical explanation for what happens after death [aside from nothingness] and I think that a lot of people get confused when I try to explain this so I'm going to do it in the clearest way that I know how which is a chronological timeline.

This theory is based off pretty much only one assumption and that is that this Universe is not a fluke.
Whether this Universe expands and contracts infinitely or is part of a much larger - or even infinite - expanse of other Universe's, I think either of those is much more likely than this Universe being a one time event which will never occur again.

With infinite time and infinite space comes almost infinite possibilities. Your existence is a possibility which has been realised at least once because you exist right now.

So let me get into this quasi-timeline:

- You live now in the year 2017 in this Universe.
- You will eventually die in this Universe. Your body will be buried and your sense of self and consciousness will enter non-existence.
- Eventually this Universe will come to an end but other Universe's will form over time either in the place of this one or if the multiverse theory is correct then an infinite number of other Universe's already exist.
- Another universe will be exactly the same as this one because if there is an infinite amount of time for it to form and an infinite amount of possibilities being realised, it physically must form again.
- You will be born again in this 'new' Universe but you won't have been reincarnated. It will simply be that the processes which caused you to materialise in this Universe will have also caused you to materialise in this new Universe because they will have happened in exactly the same way.

If they don't happen in exactly the same way and you are born with blue eyes instead of brown it won't be you, but eventually there will be some Universe in which things align perfectly to form you as you are right now in this Universe.

You will have been born again into exactly the same life as you have lived and this will happen over and over and over again for all of eternity.
Really you have made this post an infinite number of times already and I have replied to it an infinite number of times already, just insane amount of times apart and insane distances apart.

I hope I didn't lose you there and I still have questions of my own regarding this but it's a view which I have reflected on for a few years now and I haven't been able to convince myself that it is wrong given what we do know about the nature of our reality at the moment.

That sort of question will always get me confused as human we don't unless someone knows about this sort of information. It's mind boggling for real.

That ending tho... *Mind Blown*

I like this idea because in away it makes sense. I've never really REALLY looked into anything of this matter because, it's not that I don't care but... I just don't care. I think some crazy stuff must have happened. I mean theirs evolution (Haven't looked into anything once again) but evolution from nothing to a human.. to me that sounds crazy haha. So, I think something else "created" us. Like a "God" but not just One ( Like aliens or something). Maybe they literally were like us.. Kinda like how Cioran stated.. In a way. What if their was "US" or someone relatively similar to humans that had a planet and then their planet started to go down hill (Like ours in a way) so they looked out for a different planet because if their planet was habitable their must be another.. right? So, they found our planet put some people on it and now here we are. I mean kinda rude to not leave us with some cool stuff but maybe they did that so we wouldn't ruin this planet so fast? And, now here we are trying to explore mars and whatever else is out their trying to find a new home and will just restart over and over..

About death a lot of people say their scared of it. I certainly don't want to die and have this end. I'd rather be rich or something but I am at least happy right now. But, I do want to know what happens (If you get to know..). In a way the people that claim to have lived before.. are prolly nuts out of this world..... BUT, what if they have.. what if you don't remember your past life cause you haven't died yet. Like this is your first life in a video game and when you die then you could remember this life? I am not very religious either but when I was younger someone said something about heaven being like a dream and you can just basically spawn stuff lmao.. that would be amazing.

Also, like Cioran said.. even if the government knows about "Aliens" I think it would be wise to keep it a secret.. people might protest or something. I'm waiting for the day an invisible alien leaves me something super cool and I sell it for a billion dollars to the government and drive away in my new truck.

Now, once again like Cioran said... stop asking this same question so I don't have to type this same response up anymore..

I don't recall saying a lot of those things but I'll roll with it.

Even if this was the only Universe it is theorised that the further out you venture the more likely you are to see the same structures repeating themselves because atoms can only arrange themselves in a certain number of ways.

There has to be a limit to the amount of forms that huge amount of atoms can take and there could be somewhere in this Universe another solar system just like our own.
I say could meaning it's a slim possibility rather than a probability though.

In reference to this point though:

I've never really REALLY looked into anything of this matter because, it's not that I don't care but... I just don't care.

That's fine and I struggle to understand why I do care and you might find this quote interesting.
This is one of the more mild criticisms of the modern world that Ligotti has made.

One cringes to hear scientists cooing over the universe or any part thereof like schoolgirls over-heated by their first crush. From the studies of Krafft-Ebbing onward, we know that it is possible to become excited about anything - from shins to shoehorns. But it would be nice if just one of these gushing eggheads would step back and, as a concession to objectivity, speak the truth: There is nothing innately impressive about the universe or anything in it.
