The question of how intelligent life arose on Earth has been of concern to mankind throughout its history. The surviving ancient records, down to the cave paintings, indicate that people are constantly thinking about this issue. Today there are several sustainable theories who offer a variety of solutions to this issue. All these theories can be divided into two groups: scientific and non-scientific. Unscientific theories have close connection with religion, and, in most cases, go against scientific presentation about the world around. AT recent times more and more adherents are gaining the theory of panspermia, or the theory that it was an extraterrestrial virus that created man on earth.

Scientific or non-scientific theory

As far as the theory of panspermia is scientific, each reader will decide for himself. We will only note the fact that the theory that an extraterrestrial virus created a person has much in common and clearly does not scientific theories. Judge for yourself, the theory of creation, according to which everything living and non-living was created by a higher intelligence called God, is somewhat similar. Both theories say that life was brought to Earth from outside, and only then independently developed into what we have today. Adherents of both theories speak of a possible higher intelligence who consciously could bring to the ground the rudiments intelligent life. The question is, what do we call this intelligence - God or an alien.

Thorium panspermia

For the first time, a scientist and researcher from Germany, G. E. Richter, spoke about such an option for settling our planet in 1865. According to his theory, life on earth originated through the delivery of living organisms to our planet in the form of spores or microorganisms that could have come to us on a meteorite or were specially brought by alien intelligent beings. Over time, other researchers and scientists, such as Kelvin, Helmholtz, joined him. And the famous scientist Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky considered panspermia as a contextual possibility of his theory of the origin of man.

Although such a theory has been criticized, especially with the discovery of radiation and cosmic rays, at some point she got the ground for development. Many researchers turned their attention back to the theory of panspermia after the mission APOLON, which was engaged in space exploration, found in outer space living organisms that earthly origin. This happened in the process of surveying the Surveyor, the apparatus lowered to the moon. Just on its surface, terrestrial microorganisms were found, which again inspired the adherents of the theory of panspermia.

Arguments of adherents

How do the adherents of panspermia argue, and is it really a scientific theory? The main argument in favor of this theory is based on the study of various fossils. For example, the study of some meteorites that fell in different time on the surface of our planet, showed the presence on their surface of fossilized bacteria or the remains of the simplest filamentous organisms. This theory was indirectly confirmed in 2014 after the completion of the experiment - a grounded apparatus was studied PHOTON-M4, on which 11 surviving bacteria and 4 spore-forming bacteria were found.

Of course, there are no scientific theories on this subject, but there are many okonachnyh. For example, there is a theory that in ancient times atomic weapons were used on the territory of the Earth, and this is mentioned in particular in Indian epic"Mahabharata". This ancient Indian work mentions the "war of the gods", in which the gods use divine weapons. Here is one of the epic episodes:

"A huge and spewing streams of flame", "rushing at a frantic speed, shrouded in lightning", "the explosion from it was bright, like 10 thousand suns at its zenith", "a flame devoid of smoke diverged in all directions."

Designed to kill the whole people, "it turned people into dust, while the survivors fell out of their nails and hair. Even food became unusable. This weapon struck entire countries and peoples for several generations:

"A lightning strike, like a giant messenger of death, burned people. Those who rushed into the river were able to survive, but lost their hair and nails ..."; "... for several years after that, the sun, stars and sky are hidden by clouds and bad weather"

Allegedly, there are hints of both radiation and atomic winter. But more than that, some enthusiasts want to confirm their theory by the fact that large areas of melted glass - tektites - were found on the territory of India. And such material can be formed only under the influence of enormous temperature. And such versions began to appear after testing atomic bomb in New Mexico, when tektites, pieces of green molten glass, were discovered there after an explosion. Here is such a theory. In general, in this epic, if you dig, you can find descriptions of other "weapons of the gods". Also, on top of this theory, they often cite the fact that Oppenheimer, the creator of atomic weapons, after the test also quoted an excerpt from the ancient Indian epic: “I am death, the great destroyer of worlds, bringing death to all living things”

Let me share my humble find:

Supporters of nuclear weapons say that the death of Mahenjo-Daro is described in the Mahabharata. Explosions that were brighter than a thousand suns, from which trees light up, and after these explosions, people who survived lose their hair and nails ... But there is simply NO such information in the Mahabharata. NO! The reference to the "Mahabharata" is designed for a simple and not very layman, because it contains more than 1.8 million words. Like, try to check and find who doubts that there is no such thing. However, we checked - indeed there is no such thing.

The origin of these lines (falling out of hair and nails, as well as about explosions like a thousand suns) comes from french book The Morning of the Magicians, published in 1960. As for the "Mahabharata", then regarding "brighter than a thousand suns" - this is a description of Vishnu, whose appearance was like the radiance of a thousand suns. He has always been so poetically described. As for the loss of hair and nails, it is described in the Mahabharata as a bad omen, when rats bred in the city and began to eat the hair and nails of the sleeping ones "

Time is a strange thing. Sometimes it passes quickly, sometimes it drags on slowly. To date, there are many theories that try to explain what time is and what is its secret.

1. St. Augustine's theory of time

The Christian philosopher Augustine argued that time is not infinite, it was created by God, and it is simply impossible to create anything infinite. He also believed that time actually exists only in our minds, and depends on how we interpret it. If something is already in the past, then it simply does not exist anymore. Since we measure time based on our memories, therefore, it only exists in our memory. The future does not yet exist, only the present exists, so it is logical to assume that time exists only in our heads.

2. Time topology

What does time look like? In the form of a straight line or in the form of a clock face? According to Aristotle, time cannot exist as a line with a beginning and an end. There had to be something that became that beginning. The end of time must also be somehow marked, for example, in the form of a certain point. At the same time, the question arises: how many timelines exist in total? Do they move in parallel or intersect? Or maybe it's one line with many branches? But what if certain moments in the flow of time exist independently of other moments? Lots of opinions, no answers.

3. Believable present

The idea of ​​a plausible present addresses the question of how long the present lasts. What is "now"? For example, we are talking to someone and we are in the middle of a spoken sentence. We have already finished the beginning of the sentence, and it is in the past, but the conversation itself is still in the present. It was this option that began to be interpreted as “ plausible present" - the temporary space that we perceive and are aware of now (instantaneous perception).

4. Short People Feel “Real” Faster

The temporal connection theory was proposed by neuroscientist David Eagleman and is based on the idea that we experience the world in blocks of information that are perceived by the senses and processed in the brain. The various parts of the body that receive information convey it to the brain in different period time. For example, you hit your head and pinched your finger at the same time. Information about a head injury will enter the brain faster than about a finger. This is because the brain is sensory. organizational structure, prioritizing signals. This delay in information processing causes the brains of shorter people to receive such signals faster due to the difference in body size.

5. Time is slowing down - and we can see it

One of the oldest problems in physics is the existence dark energy. Researchers believe that all efforts to detect this energy are in vain simply because it does not exist, and instead there is an effect of slowing down time until it stops. They tried to explain the phenomenon of the acceleration of the universe as not the result of the presence of dark energy, but simply an illusion created by time dilation. Scientists also say that time will gradually continue to slow down until it stops completely, and the Universe will simply freeze, but this will happen in billions of years.

6. Unreality of time

The theory of the unreality of time was put forward in the early 1900s by the philosopher John McTaggart. In his opinion, time can be viewed from the point of view of A-theory (past, present, future) and B-theory (earlier-later), stating that time itself is a complete illusion, since it is impossible to objectively set events in a certain order. Events are just memories, pockets of time, not its flow. Take a moment in time, say your 20th birthday. On the one hand, this event was in the future, but at the same time it was in the past. Since the moment cannot be in the past, present and future, McTaggart argues that the very theory of the existence of time is contradictory, therefore, unreal.

7. Theory of four-dimensional space-time and the block universe

The theory of 4D space-time and the block universe is based on the idea that time is also a dimension. In this theory, all objects exist in four (and not three) dimensions. The block universe theory represents the entire universe as a block of all dimensions, consisting of time intervals. A block has a width, depth, and height, and each event has a measurable time or layers of time. Any person is a four-dimensional object that exists in layers of time: infancy, childhood, adolescence etc.

8. Discouraging effect

It is said that at the moment of mortal danger or shock, people feel that time seems to slow down. How true is this? The brain tends to mix all stimuli into one event if each information is received in less than 80 milliseconds. Most likely, it is not time that slows down, but our perception reacts to the event in such a way, although human brain perceives this precisely as a slowdown in time, not wanting to "digest" unpleasant or terrible information.

9. Kronos (Chronos) and the father of Time

AT ancient Greek mythology Chronos and Ananke were considered the first gods. Chronos was the god of time, and Ananke was the god of inevitability. It was Chronos who was "responsible" for the passage of time and the change of seasons. The supreme god Kronos (who, by the way, was killed by his own son of Zeus) was also compared with Chronos, the father of time. The life cycle of a person among the ancient Greeks was run by the goddesses of fate Moir: Clotho spun the thread of life, Lachesis determined fate, and Atropos cut the thread and ended life.

10. We are not very good with time.

By the way, we are quite bad at determining the time, although we use a clock. The time system is actually much more complex. In the 20th century, scientists and astronomers discovered that the Earth's rotation was slowing down, so a uniform scale was created - Ephemeris Time. Then came Topocentric Dynamic Time (TDT), which was considered more accurate and was based on International Atomic Time (IAT). In 1991 it was renamed to earth time(TT). In other words, we simply do not have the slightest idea how to properly order the measurement of time.

God! So are you a programmer?

The brain is not a generator of consciousness. It's just an interface

The more intricate, wider, deeper and more ramified the Internet becomes, the more virtual world begins to resemble the one that surrounds us. By at least, expanding just like the universe. The edges are no longer visible. Therefore, it is no coincidence, perhaps, that it is on the Internet that the ideas that someone Jim Elvidge spreads (Jim Elvidge) - a scientist, a specialist in digital technologies, enjoy unprecedented popularity. quantum physics and the author of a book with the loud title "The Universe - Solved" (The Universe - Solved). He really believes that he has unraveled the essence of the universe. Guessed that the Universe is a product computer simulation. Some kind of simulation. And it is based on information, data. From them, according to Elwidge, our consciousness is also woven, which is by no means born in the brain. The brain is not even a repository of consciousness, but just an interface through which we fit into the simulation, process information and exchange data with some kind of universal server. Souls also go there - also information, forming a segment that was previously called the afterlife.

The idea that we are products computer simulation dominates the masses.

Death, in the view of Elwidge, is not at all scary. After all, it's just the end of the simulation. Or even its temporary interruption, accompanied by the transfer of the soul - that is, the information package - to the server.

The scientist believes in reincarnation, explaining it by the transfer of information accumulated by one "simulator" to another. He believes in intuition and clairvoyance, the phenomenon of which, in his opinion, is based on access to the universal server - the ability to “download” some requested information from it. Like from the internet.

There is no matter - only emptiness

Jim Elvidzh assures us that the objects around us only seem real. In fact, they are not there - only emptiness. There is only information that objects exist - information that we receive through the brain and sense organs.

“Matter is an objective reality given to us in sensations,” says famous definition. But sensations can be simulated, the scientist objects. Therefore, it is possible to model objective reality and, finally, matter.

An object becomes “real” only when someone is watching it, Elvidge believes. And thoughtfully adds: Further research in the field of elementary particles will lead to the understanding that behind everything that surrounds us, there is a certain code, similar to the binary code computer program… The theory of digital reality can serve as a universal key to the “theory of everything”, which scientists have been looking for for a long time. ”

INSTEAD OF COMMENT: Fantastic, but very scientific

Elvide's ideas, of course, attract with their analogies. But they are by no means original. Differs from numerous previous ones only more modern terms. And before, many hinted at the existence of a universal server, but called it differently - the energy-information field of the Universe. And there they placed afterworld, and all the accumulated information - about any event and even about the future. That's just to prove that this is the way it is - neither then, nor now it does not work. After all, all the arguments are nothing more than words, unsupported fantasies. Although “fantasizes” not only Elvidzh, but also other quite serious scientists.

Computer the size of the universe

For example, Seth Lloyd from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology For a long time I asked myself the question: what is the maximum size of a computer? He answered himself. Like, it is obvious that the largest and most powerful device will be, in which all particles in the Universe will be involved. And them - protons, neutrons, electrons and other trifles, according to the scientist's calculations, are about 10 to the 90th degree. And if these particles were attached to the case from the moment big bang, then we would have already committed 10 to the 120th power logical operations. This is so much that it is not even possible to imagine. For comparison: all computers during their existence produced less than 10 to the 30th degree of operations. And all the information about a person with his many individual quirks is recorded in approximately 10 to 25 bits.

And then Lloyd - much earlier than Elwidge - thought: what if the universe is already someone's computer? Then everything inside it, including us, is part of the computational process. Or his product… It means that there must be a Programmer somewhere.

You can't do without the Creator - even prominent scientists think so.

Lloyd suggests that we do exist in reality. Just like the world around us. We exist thanks to the universal computer, which was programmed to create complex structures including living beings. A computer program, by the way, does not have to be very long.

Holograms we

Experiments, as a result of which, perhaps, it will be clarified whether our world is a hologram or not, was started by one of the discoverers of dark energy, Craig Hogan, director of the Fermi Laboratory’s Center for Particle Astrophysics. The scientist imagines the universe as a sphere, the surface of which is covered with tiny pixels. Each represents a unit of information - a bit. And what's inside is a hologram they created. He intends to prove this by finding elements in the fabric-space-time that form a holographic “picture”.

According to wave theory reality physicist David Bohm neurosurgeon Karl Fibram, the brain also works on holographic principles.

A three-dimensional image of an object appears in space, for example, if an image on a plane is illuminated with a laser.

“This is how our brain constructs a picture of the surrounding world under the influence of some external radiation,” explains Fibram, also implying the existence of a computer program implemented in the universe. She, in fact, determines what and where to “illuminate”.

By the way, by accepting the holographic essence of the Universe, it would be possible to resolve the paradox observed experimentally: elementary particles able to instantly exchange information at any distance - even millions of light years. That is, contrary to Einstein, to carry out interactions with superluminal speed overcoming the time barrier. This ceases to be a miracle in the world - the hologram. After all, each part of it contains information about the whole - about the entire Universe.

And assuming that the Universe is a product of computer simulation, it is possible to explain the various oddities that occur in it. For example, UFO. Or mysterious radio signals coming from nowhere. It's just a glitch in the program.

CONCLUSION: God lives in another universe

Logic suggests that if a certain Creator does exist, then it is hardly worth looking for him in our Universe. He can't be inside the hologram he created?! Or programs? So there are many universes. Many modern physics By the way, no doubt about it.

He proposes the following theory:

"I think everything from page 8051 onwards is fiction. Maybe not a doomed timeline, but because of what John did, it's not real.

Initially, in the last picture of the post, Dave tells Rose that the trolls have stopped responding or texting them since John died. This happened because they were in a doomed timeline, and people who are not in the main timeline are no longer available.

Now, right after explaining John's acquired non-stuck powers, Hussie stopped talking to Caliborn. Did he really stop, or is Caliborn just in a doomed timeline? I think the second is correct. Thanks to John and his non-stuck powers. He created a fictitious reality for everyone in Homestuck.

Further explanation: Aranea. If John had not disappeared from the couch, Aranea would not have been able to get the ring with the help of Gamzee. She wouldn't revive herself, and she wouldn't do any of the shit that made everyone (including her) die (again).

More proof:

(ARANEA: And if you're strong enough by then, you can beat him 8th beat.
ARANEA: If that happens, it will be the first defeat he has known.)

If he never more not defeated as an adult, how can he be defeated as a child?

(emphasis added (belonging to Hussie): Personally, I don't know of a single timeline yet where that codpiece asshole dies.)

If the asshole with the codpiece never dies, how can you explain that?

And here it is:

(And what will be the story where the Knight and the Prophet lie lifeless corpses? Definitely not the story of the main timeline)

It's about Karkat and Terezi, but Karkat was pierced and thrown into the lava. He is dead. Terezi may not be dead yet, but like Rose, she may be dead soon.

So, if you don't believe this is a doomed or fictitious timeline, at least you have to admit that none of this was supposed to happen. Homestuck seriously keeps his promises (approx. per. or his logic, if you like), and here we see several egregious violations. This whole timeline doesn't fit in with the rest of the story. Ever since Jon got the power of non-stick-to-canon."
