Existence
Looking at science and math, it is understood that all things happen for a reason.
Qestion – if you rewound time, and played it back again, would it happen the exact same way?
Logic seems to say yes. Therefore everything occurred for a reason, and random is impossible -. ... think of a random thing... what you thought of was based on something else, and your thought was the only possible thing your mind would ever come up with, given the circumstances.
All molecular collisions (which seem to be random) are actually caused by the trajectories of every molecule interacting, which theoretically can be calculated. There is a definite reason for the motion and interaction of every atom in existence.
if random is truly impossible, then all outcomes could only happen one way. lets look at choices in our lives. whats really going on is that electronical signals in our brains are connecting based on all the information stored from our entire lives. the bonds between atoms break, some reactions occur, and the result is created. The whole process is a set equation. The only variables are previous "things" (ie images, sounds, feelings) which cant be changed. once all the information is put into this equation, the result is set.
since the actions that we take have only one possible outcome based on the inputs, we really aren't making a choice. The inputs themselves were not random, as there were a series of events that brought them into being.
since nothing is random, every event that occurs is based only previous events. these previous events are based on events even before themselves. All actions are caused by other actions, follow the trail long enough, and there is a common action for all, the “beginnong”
Without arguing about what the "beginning" was, the idea is that the first "event" put into action the greatest equation ever, "existence". Actually, it would be more a matrix, more complex than fathomable by humans. But with the first value entered at the "beginning" the equation began to solve.
If there is an "end", then at that point the problem will be solved. but, the equation from the “beginning” was doomed to meet this particular “end” as nothing could change along the way.
If you have followed me thus far, this is where it gets really strange
We really aren’t making any choices and the “end” of existence is already set. Not humans or any force can change the “end” at this point.
The reason is … because random doesn’t exist.
If it did, then the “end” will still be up for grabs. But, all actions will cause others which will cause others. It is set. I write now @ 2:53 am because signals in my brain were triggered by other molecules, which were forced to do what they did by some other event (inspiration, if you will)
In fact, what we feel is “thinking” is actually just our brain computing. The idea that there is a mind over body doesn’t seem to fit in my argument, the mind is just where our bodies make these calculations.
it seems somewhat silly that "Random", or lack there of, is the key to understanding exsistace.
Remember this is just my theory, and don’t hesitate to tell me if you think there’s a flaw. I did write it at three in the morning.
