Science and Philosophy - 8

Cosmos

Just in last episode we dug down to quark to define thought and other human physiology fundamentals.
Now let us blow our thought to this word Cosmos.


Cosmos is generally used as synonym to this Universe.
According to the latest scientific theories the Cosmos started 13.7 billion years with Big bang.
From the second it started it is continuously expanding into the space and has no edges.
It is based on the inflationary model where inflation is a term used for exponential expansion.
Initially human started observing the universe and tried to understand the  movements and motions of stars and other celestial bodies which are visible to the naked eye.
Further he invented the telescope to see the celestial objects and understood in a better way which helped Astronomy(study of celestial objects/universe) to become a modern science. And even further now we are sending satellites to have observations on space.
Humans developed theories after formulating the basic principles in physics and applied those to the observations of the universe and deduced so many facts about the same.


Apart from big bang there is also one more theory like "String theory" which is in developing stage and once more predictions and deductions made can throw light into so many unidentified dimensions and multiple universes.
This theory needs more dimensions to justify other than the four dimensions used for space time concept.
It says that the electrons and quarks are not "0" dimensional things but "1" dimensional strings which can move vibrate to give the observed particles their flavor, charge , mass and spin.


So many other theories are there which i may not have read, based on assumptions and calculations - explanations being given - basic particles are the same in the outer space as inside a human body as of now like electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks and may be some more like mesons, photons, bosons, branes etc., based on the theories and discoveries made.

After all this learning and discussion my question is "Is there any meaning to this life and reason why we are living - Is it simply we evolved we are living"??


And If the basic particles are same , may be some other and some more, somewhere else but definitely there will be some connectivity of all the things in nature - Is it so??


Any basic principle is there which allowed this evolution of life and mind through which we are thinking and trying to meet ends??


Or is it a virtual reality - where everything is virtual and non existent??


Or whether omnipotent, omni present and omniscient GOD (the higher power source) is really there who/ which controls things in an orderly manner.

  1. As far as I feel, we humans are just an evolution within the process of universe and its ongoing formation. But it so happened that we got brains and we are able to discover,invent, domesticate, learn etc etc. Though science has evolved to great extents but there is no way we can alter the process of universe and we all are part of life and death of the universe.

    In the same lines the probability of earth like planets, alien life forms, exploration by other lives, aliens visiting earth remains high.
