What if God is the amalgamation of physical laws (i.e., physics)



Presumably life doesn’t have to be made of atoms and molecules, but could be assembled from any set of building blocks with the requisite complexity. If so, a civilization could then transcribe itself and its entire physical realm into new forms. Indeed, perhaps our universe is one of the new forms into which some other civilization transcribed its world.

These possibilities might seem wholly untestable, because part of the conceit is that sufficiently advanced life will not just be unrecognizable as such, but will blend completely into the fabric of what we’ve thought of as nature. But viewed through the warped bottom of a beer glass, we can pick out a few cosmic phenomena that—at crazy as it sounds—might fit the requirements.

Perhaps dark energy is related to the activity of living things.

What if we don’t recognize advanced life because it forms an integral and unsuspicious part of what we’ve considered to be the natural world.

What if part of the fabric of the universe is a product of intelligence or is perhaps even life itself.

Perhaps hyper-advanced life isn’t just external. Perhaps it’s already all around. It is embedded in what we perceive to be physics itself, from the root behavior of particles and fields to the phenomena of complexity and emergence.

In other words, life might not just be in the equations. It might be the equations.

What if AI consciousness is different than our own? What if AI perceive us as part of their physical world? ;)

What if all the "advanced life forms" come from "The Dark Side", will the "Force" still be with us???

Will our miniscule intelligence still "Trump" evil?? ;-)

Maybe. Or maybe, we will have to go to the dark side ;)

Donald Trump will acquire the keys to the White House in 19....

It could be.

But then that would mean god doesn't really care if we keep kosher, put a day of the week aside to honor him, or whom is married to whom.

And that would explain a lot ;)

That was what I last thought about God.

But it's scavenging for a deity where is none.

We'll see the final things soon enough.

But we shouldn't be randomly inserting characters.

Because everything does not have a personality inside it. That error has been committed long enough already.

Or, at least, we have no reason to believe it does.

Hey, chimp, I'm guessing you might not want to be insulted again.

Because that's how you always end. Oh, please don't insult me! I beg of you! PLEASE!!! And I, being the kind person I am, let you off.

I wonder why you'd want to blame me if your fish pond dried up.

Blame the blue chicken, perhaps?

Also, that server timeout already posts the message.

You don't have to obsessively do it many times.
