If you look at the life of a butterfly, knowing that they only live a short life, during the summer months. Then imagine if the butterfly had intelligence, how could you describe "Winter" to them? There would be no evidence for it, even though it is real, to the butterfly, a snowflake would seem like a myth.

"Freedom is not a right in the universe. It is a privilege and a luxury. Your values may argue with this, but your expectations eventually must conform to the real circumstances of life. Individual freedom is extremely valuable, but it is not guaranteed, and you cannot claim it as a right. You will be shocked to find, as you begin to learn about and even experience the Greater Community in which you live, how rare freedom really is. Freedom itself is always relative. You never have complete freedom of movement and expression. In concert with others, you cannot do whatever you want or say whatever you want, and you understand this. You will never have this freedom if you are living in association with others and if you are functioning to survive as a group, as a nation and as a people. Therefore, freedom is always relative to your circumstances, to your affluence and to the degree of stability and security you have been able to establish and to maintain over time." A quote from the free online book entitled *Life in the Universe* - Chapter 8: Freedom in the Greater Community.

It's funny that no matter how authoritatively we write down the fact that there once was an outside universe, through gradual data loss, even at an ultra-glacial pace due to ultra-sophisticated data storage or ultra-faithful data transfer techniques, eventually, inevitably, there will come a point when the data becomes so non-primary-sourced that it becomes irrational to assign it anything higher than 50% accuracy (i.e. a coinflip) rate. Because the future is an infinite time and degradation happens over finite time stretches.

the same is very much true for geology. I think a lot of people don't realize that geological history is loosely pieced together based on the remnants of what once was. You could have thousands of years of deposition wiped out through glaciation or any number of processes. Only the thin, sporadic bands of what is left, or has been remoulded, are what we have to analyze. The vast majority of all life that has ever lived, as well as mountains, rivers, and geological features that have ever existed, have not left any historical trace or fossil on the Earth, and we have zero chance of recovering this data.

It’s more likely for the civilization to produce an enormous “bag of information”. So big, that it would be impossible to consume it even for the most advanced artificial life forms.

I will say, we likely have most of those pages. Our galaxy and solar system is probably incredibly old- one of the very first of its kind. We, as humans, are potentially the first of many "intelligent lifeforms" capable of observing and attempting to understand the universe and its laws. We, my freinds, are very lucky to have most- if not all- of the pages before us. Let's try not to take ourselves out before we can understand it all, eh?

But we know we don't have all the pages, even if we have the entire last 13.5 billion years, (which we don't). What happened before the big bang? Those pages are forever lost. All science can say is, "There was no such thing as time and space before the big bang. Just nothingness". They can guess and theorize, but we'll never really know. The big bang forever ripped those pages away, leaving all before it just religion, for all intents and purposes.

Please dont ever stop making your videos….your videos carry so much wisdom and truth and knowledge, it is truly amazing. This is true genius, and humble. Thanks very much!

out of every species name you could think of, it had to be one with "anus" in it

this was such a brilliant piece of fiction. it was beautiful in that it made me happy and sad all at once. bravo

Great stuff as always. Really opens my thinking....expansive

I'm jumping from video to video, searching. idk what it is, but I feel like its close, my heart is bursting, I am trying my best to admit to myself the things I feel. I want to agree that this is me, openly and honestly, to myself.

This is why I am confused when people argue against the concept of a "God" and afterlife. We scarcely understand what we already know, how can we be so certain about what we don't know. You, the flesh sack that is all that you are, is a combination of millions of years of atoms, molecules and cells, combining, forming something, breaking down, living, dying and repeating until, like winning the lottery, the right combination formed you. You didn't understand or were aware of what came before you. Why can't life continue after death? It just carries on on a higher plane of existence. Why couldn't a God be a combination of elements, forces and energy so far beyond our limit of comprehension that it's just too big to understand? Imagine trying to explain to a single cell that it is part of a lager entity. It's the same concept.

@Dmitri Kutsenov Sorry that I replied to you... I don't think I'm smart,I think of myself a6a regular guy who takes care of his family,happy with the simple things in life etc... But my gut tells me (I thought all my life about this)...that this is a test or a punishment to be exact. We are immortals in the other life (before or after)...We don't eat or drink,we don't talk,we only sing.We pick the strongest man to fight,to test our self's. Women have power to attract you like magnet or make you run from far away(this is a bit funny))) People on earth all did something bad in that life (which they will go again) which stretches from the beginning of life,hence every action that will do is The Right one!! -ps:I considered myself to have drank some magical moonshine that I couldn't say No to an abandoned planet (lol) which made me super strong and maybe I acted like superman...))) We are safe People...))) 🙏

What you are describing has little to no resemblance to God. At least not the concept of God the vast majority have in their minds. Of course there can be forms of life far more advanced than ours. Nobody in their right mind would deny the possibility, even sworn atheists. I would even concede that the universe as a whole could have some form of consciousness on a scale we could never grasp, just like your cell-organism analogy. Of course on the other hand I have zero evidence to point to that and probably never will, so i dismiss that concept as something that has no bearing on how I live. I am agnostic in the same sense regarding God in any of its traditional concepts in religions, but would argue I have even more reasons to be skeptical. Religions do not just preach the existence of (a) God. They include specific morals and a value system and advocate particular lifestyles which they attach to this concept of God. They also assume implicitly or explicitly that each individual matters and may be observed by God. Furthermore, if you study a bit about the roots of such religions and how they evolved over time, it becomes rather obvious they they serve specific purposes. Not just the interests of groups that use them as an instrument to control the masses, but even deeper, regarding human nature. Religions, and their concept of God, i have little doubt, are man made. I just can't prove it and neither can anybody else. No religion I am aware of has ever preached the existence of a God on the premise you described. Such a religion would be devoid of any moral teachings and thus useless in almost every way. In the end even I would have to wonder what use such a concept of God would be to any one at all. As far as afterlife goes, again no proof of course but I don't see how one could believe in it unless one also believes that life is something more than a natural process and consciousness something more than an emergent phenomenon of such a process. So instead of asking why it can't continue after death, shouldn't you explain why even entertain the thought of it somehow carrying on after the biological machinery that supported it broke down? Cause if it does, then why did it need that machinery in the first place?

The reason why people choose god as a answer is not because they see a clear way god could exist but dont see a clear way for us to have emerged from all these complexities, just like in the video there a lot of shredded pieces of paper and far too many papers to go through to understand the world compelety that doesnt mean belief that a single mighty entity being responsible for us will answer all those complexities which is why we argue against gods the answers through our theories of gods are just not satisfactory enough

This is all based on our currently-known confines of speed... when we find a way to make speed not matter, our galaxy no longer is a prison.

Just what I needed.

Narrative of Self is the result of a feedback loop between “Separate Self” & Cosmos 🎈

I'd say that narrative of self is the result of a recursive feed-forward function between a body and the cosmos, and the body is the result of an accumulative recursion in the cosmos.

Earth is already a "form" of a prison. It is also a gleaming beam of awe. All depends how you look at it.

Edward's study of "ancient history" likely consists of a textbook that says "chapter one: KZread. "

The real poetry of this story is its untold prologue : this island universe Edward is experiencing is a distant future... predicted by a theory born at a time we still thought every luminaries of the nightsky belonged to our Milky Way.

I remember hearing NDT bringing up this thought experiment when some interviewer asked him about his greatest fears. You put a great story to it without leaving us with a terrifying, nihilistic prospect. Thanks again for putting out another great piece👍

Why did they fire the animator at Pursuit of Wonder though ?

I like that among the entire philosophy of this video, about our existence and taking a glimpse at our grim future, among all this, his name is Edward. That's a good name. My guy, Edward.

This is one of those videos that is so good I'll actually watch the ad at the end.

GOOD! I don't want extra-galactic aliens coming here. Even if they mean well, they could still mess up our planet and species in inconceivable ways. For example, maybe they have a certain idea or religion or concept that could completely destroy our perception of reality. I hope we are left in peace for as long as possible.

By the titles logic - you could class physics as our prison. Besides, who’s to say a wormhole won’t take us to another galaxy?

@empreus Its already proven to exist mathematically, physics knows this as well. For every particle of matter created there is an antimatter particle created +1 additional matter particle. Hence why there is even matter to begin with. If matter and anti matter annihilate one another, then how could there be any matter in the first place? Thats because an additional matter particle is created. So 2 matter particles and 1 anti matter.
