I don't really know what happens if you die... (if there already happens something anyway)... These matters seem to be without prove and without being really observed. Personally I believe Michael but cannot prove it or know it for sure...
Considering the idea of 'time'; I cannot prove anything either. Is it real? Is it not real?
We all experience it in our reality and most people believe in its existence.
But it guess it could be merely psychological.
What's making me doubt the existence of time is things like relativity of simultaneousness and also the part of dopamine in timeperception.
Do we inhabit different realities? Or do we inhabit merely different data?
Maybe we confuse what's given with reality...
Anyhow, even when time would be real; then would it prove something about a possible afterlife?? Don't know.
Sorry, I'm not a good person to ask questions to...
Also this...
Why am I 'me' and not 'you'...? OK, I'm a patron of atomic motions in time...
But why is 'me' just this patron and not the atomic patron of someone else?
If I'm just some passage of atoms in time... then why is 'me' just this passage? Why not the passage of someone else??
I mean... I could as well be a stone or a table or maybe a star, a planet, an atom...
I guess there are other things which know a passage of atoms in time...
The difference might be they don't have a memory; so they don't have consciousness or 'me' consciousness...
But still I don't understand; why I am me and not somebody else... I mean, somebody else has also a memory;
I'm sure I am a completely different person than I was born or a child... but still I am this patron... How can something which is different still be the same... what's the constant... I guess it must be memory... But still it's difficult to understand...
Allow me to give a discription of myself...
First I don't exist; and I don't know I exist...
Suddenly out of nothing; I recieve images and sense impressions (I'm born).
Then we go to school and everyone says there is something that we call 'time' and that it has one direction; you have the past and you have the future... It started somewhere in the past and is still running; we can even make calculations on it by comparing it with another motion called a clock.
And there is something like causality everywhere... this 'time' runs in the background. The only thing is... we don't seem able to grab it, to hold it... it's just a logical idea which everybody experiences...
Then I change and get older... until suddenly the changes wipe out.
I don't exist anymore; my consciousness doesn't exist anymore and doesn't know anymore it has ever existed.
Is this the truth??
I'm not sure; I'm doubting...
Why do I have the privilege that everything what happens to me happens now?? Why would anyone have that privilege? Is it real?
I don't understand; don't know...
And this... when you look workers are building a house, then this takes a lot of time... But when there is a tornado or some other disaster, then this house can be distroyed in just a few seconds...
So we say.. oh, this is the direction of time.
Is order an anomaly??
In nature, it seems that just one small anomaly can cause some kind of butterfly effect with huge consequences.
Could universal expansion be an anomaly?
Maybe the universe started to exist because of the interaction between many anomalies?
About evolution... it's like evolution is possible because of the happening of many anomalies and some of the anomalies are favourite, which creates evolution and finally us. But it's still happening...
Maybe just like cells grouped together to organisms we'll group together to forms of higher consciousness...
Could our universe be the consequence of anomalies? Imagen total chaos and suddenly an anomaly... I believe this one anomaly might effect the rest of reality (time!)... then suddenly another anomaly with another 'butterflyeffect', then another one... and so one... could the creation of the universe also be a result of many favourite anomalies which are kind of interacting????
Could time be the result of anomaly? Or is it an anomaly?
Imagen there was totally nothing at first (even not empty space)...
Then the sudden creation of something (even empty space) is an anomaly also, which would kind of expand in nothing?
