One day i realized that light = the fabric of spacetime.

We already know light = time, that's not too difficult to see. But light also = space. If you look at a minkowsky diagram, you see that everything is traveling through space-time at the speed of light. When you accelerate, you shift more into the time dimension and out of the space dimension & you age less. Massless photons move so fast they become space. QED

So what happens for an object that's not being illuminated at all? Does time stop passing for that object? (Which it clearly doesn't because then e.g. it would stay where it was as the Earth and Sun moved on)

If nothing else, you seem not to understand Minkowski diagrams. The speed of light is the edge (cone for 2d)... you can't go past it but normal matter can and does exist anywhere within the cone.

I have always thought that Evolution is against the principle of causality that mankind has used in all sciences since the beginning of our species.

A deterministic logic implies that everything has a cause and the future is already set for all.

Are we assuming that evolution is concious of itself? how can a process that has no defined goal optimize species while having no clue of what it is doing that for?

Lately I've been thinking a lot about free will. I still can't really reconcile the idea with the fact that the particles that form us act deterministically, or at least probabilistically, but I think that perhaps free will is choosing your conscious path in fifth-dimensional space. By that I mean that if the many-worlds interpretation holds true, free will is selecting which world you experience at any given point. Perhaps the physical mechanism for these choices exist in a way which can only be perceived or measured in higher dimensions than the three and a half that we normally see. This is, perhaps, an overly mystical thought, and it can't be proven, but it's certainly fun to think about.

To illustrate, if I, as a three-dimensional creature, could only experience one plane of two-dimensional space at a time but could experience any plane I chose based on my three-dimensional neurological structure, There would be no way of understanding where the decisions came from from the two-dimensional space.

The brain is like a lens or a zipper, neatly focusing every potential junction in time into a single point that, relative to the speed at which it's moving, moves at a constant pace (c). While you, and your brain, are not moving at c locally, the entire universe IS. In effect, then, every physical possibility happens simultaneously, just outside of human perception. If this is the case, is it therefore theoretically possible to, in a way, "retune" the human brain to comprehend time and space differently?

Pondering the possibility of an existence outside our own universe, a infinite space abundant in matter that is constantly collapsing upon itself to form singularities, and ultimately universes.

Existence is binary. There are up cycles and down cycles, 1 cycles and 0 cycles, substance cycles and absence cycles. when entropy destroys the universe the substantial cycle will end. The total sum of the universe is decaying. The total sum of the universe will eventually become 0. Inducing a conscious singularity would ultimately cause the perception of the individual to collapse, and time would be meaningless. As we remove more and more boundaries between us and our cosmic understanding, we will eventually build a model so accurate it will perfectly mirror the existing universe, and if our minds at the time are augmented enough to fully merge our understanding with our data, we wouldn't be able to perceive which universe is simulated and which is real, and much more, where our data ends and the universe's begins. We will then, in effect, conciously merge with every other material substance, to the point where nothing exists anymore. We will literally learn ourselves out of existence.

If there are five dimensions (3 spatial + time + different paths in time) then we are not distinct entities in the fourth of fifth dimensions - there are an infinite number of things happening to "us" in the 4th and 5th dimensions in the same way there are an infinite number of points in a plane. The only reason we experience a single set of things happening to us along a single timeline is because our brains are wired to think like that. This is also the reason we experience time as passing, when really we are just a series of points on a time line.

I just read that through. It made a lot more sense in my head.

A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example, show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, "plate," or "shrimp," or "plate o' shrimp" out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

I thought about how a second time dimension, or "time depth" would work. One TVU (Time velocity Unit) would be equal to how far through 5th dimensional time an object at absolute zero and no directional movement would go in one second. I also thought about how with this you could explain some forms of hypothetical time travel.

My deepest thought was the realization that the people who know the least about science are the ones who generally think they have deep thoughts about it. The people who know the most about science just shrug and say, "We don't know yet. Let me do a few more calculations, then we might know something."

Here is one.
When you break down human actions, like killing someone, or masturbating furiously for 9 days without stopping. Can it really be blamed on them. When you think about it, the brain is no more than electronic signals we have no control over. These electric signals control our every thought and action, therefore, we cannot be held responsible for the electrons firing in our brains. therefore, there is no good or evil in this world, there is only electronic signals.

The deepest thought I've ever had was a brief realization. It still drives me today.

See one night I was awake, watching TV or on the computer or something, and I was exhausted. I was thinking of reasons to stay up.

"What's that episode of such and such I wanted to watch? I should watch it now." or "I should really organize my pictures." Basically they were just excuses. I continued to think, more and more reasons came into my head of things I could be doing; that's when I stumbled on the idea that things were happening while I slept.

That realization really struck a cord within me. The world still turned even after I wasn't awake, but before that even occurred to me I thought of milk.

The milk in my fridge was going bad. And I should drink it now, before it goes to waste.

And so should you.

Well, I don't think this is my deepest thought ever, but it's a realisation. When I turned 15, I realised, "In ancient civilisations, I've been a man for at least a year... I need to get my shit together."
And so I did.

disorder in the context of entropy isnt some adherence to some philosophical concept of "law vs chaos"

its about energy states, the number of different states of energy the universe can be in at any one moment is increasing.
(the ball and box analogy, number of boxes increase)
this also results in a loss of information, but thats its own field in a way.

furthermore, if life DID decrease in entropy (which is possible) its more than likely this is offset by the increasing entropy in the sun (and possibly geothermal energy in the earth).

so theres nothing unnatural about it

I was reading some science article on universes that theoretically border our own (fun fact: that border may be as big/small as 30 feet).

From this article I developed this crazy awesome thought: what if the physics of a bordering universe are drastically different from our own? If somehow we were able to bridge that membrane gap between universes, how would the space ship that helped you travel be affected? Would it buckle under its newly defined mass? This is very pie-in-the-sky and theoretical and such, but it blew my mind at the time. The laws of physics are constantly updated, but the macrocosmical laws are more or less set in stone. It's one of the most primal understanding - animals and babies and everyone feels gravity without technically understanding it. To have that foundation of intuition changed would be incredibly confusing, I'd imagine.

inb4 Asians Creed. I actually thought about it, it never actually explains that statement

Nothing is true, Everything is permitted.

Nothing we know, or perceive, we can actually prove to be true, but we can prove to be wrong.

(Scientific basis theorem. An infinite number of experiments will never prove me right, but one can prove me wrong).

Now follow closesly, it's not THEREFORE everything is permitted. It's a follow statement, but it's not by any means causality.

Everything is permitted, nothing is true. If nothing is true, truly exists, is wholly there, then everything is permitted to happen, as nothing cannot.
