Why Does the Universe
Exist?
Why there is something
instead of nothing?
Is 2+2 still 4 even if
there is nothing 'material' to count?
If yes, then, is " n /
(n+1) " still trending towards 1 even after ∞-1 or ∞+1
steps even if we don't actually compute the result anywhere?
If yes, does
the Game of Life still 'continue' after we stop calculating it?
It's predetermined anyway, and anyone who starts with that set and those rules
will reach the same results, whether calculating them for the first time,
carrying on where left over, or going on with a new calculation with the same
starting condition.
Does the Mandelbrot
set infinity exist even for the places nobody has ever yet zoomed in to, or
ever will?
Could there
be a 4-dimensional equivalent of the Game of Life let's say with some formulas
and logarithmically repeating sinusoides explaining 'influences' of transfers
of 'energy', that could carry on infinitely from any starting point?
Would this
'alternate' version of the Game of Life still carry on even if nobody is
computing it, just because of the formula for it existing somewhere?
Would this
formula still exist in the mathematical realm even if nobody in our Cosmos has
thought about it or written it down?
What about
any other formula that expresses any other different combination of influences?
What would
happen if any of these alternative formulas was able to carry on increasing
complexity to a point of creating more than pretty structures, but overly
complex structures 'self perpetuating' structures, even sentient?
And since at
this, since these hypothetical formulas would exist in the mathematical realm,
we can make them 10 or more dimensional. They can be infinitely complex, and ∞+1
complex, and still 'contained' inside the formula, like a fractal is contained
and still infinite in complexity.
Any start
condition could be part of the formula, since they don't need a sentient mind
to think them in order to come to existence.
So, why does
the Universe or any version of Multiverse Exist? Why there is something instead
of nothing?
Because the
formula for the relations and transformations of the bits of 'energy' (and
mass) exists in the mathematical realm and can be carried over infinitely,
without the need to be computed anywhere. And from those relations and
transformations, the complex structures we see in our Cosmos come to exist, and
life comes to exist, and sentience comes and wonders about the Cosmos and
Universe. And imagination comes to make sense of it all, turning it from simple
mathematical relations to Life.
The
Uni/Multiverse cannot not exist!
