Particles dictate everything. Everything is the result of how subatomic particles react with one another. Which means everything follow the motion and interactions of those. Which would mean everything has been predetermined from the very beginning of the universe.

Yeah pretty much, it scares us to think that time isn't purely linear in nature and that we aren't in an ultimate "present" though

This is also something I have thought about.

But what is consciousness? Is it some intangible entity or just an extremely complex chemical reaction from our brains?

Damn you universe, giving me this ****** life.

Jk it's not all that bad, at least I am not struggling to survive in a third world country.

I had an astrobiology course last semester. It was very interesting, we basically covered all of the topics you have been discussing over the past 2 pages.

Studying what is life, all about the universe, how life originated, extraterrestrial intelligence, etc. etc.

I dont really know what consciousness is and I think that its going to be really difficult to try to look at it from an outside perspective, like a 2D figure trying to comprehend the nature of 3D reality.

Someone will come along who will get it though, it'll be great

This is the only course I took a huge interest in. I actually LOVED studying for the exam.

I will start by saying that I believe that consciousness is just a "creation" of how brains have developped. Like, we feel like we control our body, we can react to stimulis, etc.

I'm amongst those who believe it's just an extremely complex reaction in the brain. Like, we barely understand how the brain works because it's so complex. But everything is mostly a chain of reactions in our body.

And these reaction are subjected to the particles thing I mentioned. So you feel you have control, but you don't and everything is kinda predetermined. That's how I see everything.

Yeah I would have definitely loved to study astronomy but I didn't have the high school math requirements. Have always found it incredibly fascinating, but math started bugging me around the introduction of factoring.

Talking about stuff like this is one of the reasons why I have such intense anxiety but its so ****ing fascinating and mind-blowing at the same time.

Interesting....

Are you saying that you think the reactions within the brain are predetermined, thus our lives have been played out already and we are just along for the ride
