Why are we here? New hypothesis of human appearance

The main question ever asked by humanity is: “Why are we here?” — this is a desire to understand the reason for the emergence of man as a species. You can turn to religion and theology, to physics and biology, to history and conspiracy theology, but this question as there was no answer, so without this answer remained. Although, there are several hypotheses here …

Why exactly us?

No one will dispute the fact that a person is very different from what is on our planet. We look more like eggs thrown by a cuckoo into a sparrow’s nest: it seems to belong to birds, but we wave our wings differently.

Everything in the Earth’s ecosystem is interconnected. Each structural element of nature somehow affects the work of other structural elements and depends on their influence. If we draw such connections in the form of arrows, then for all plants, animals, microorganisms, arrows are two-way (because they take something and give something) and only a person knocks out of this holiday of harmony with his one-sided arrow (because we only take) .

If people are not included in this ideal scheme, it means that we somehow did not appear like the others. It is as if everyone was born naturally, and we are the only consequence of artificial insemination. How to explain our origin?

God, monkey or alien

Darwin Theory

The most famous theory of the origin of man (and so far the most logically reasoned) is the theory of Charles Darwin. The scientist saw the solution to the problem in the main natural mechanism — natural selection. For a person to develop to his modern appearance, thousands of years of various conditions were needed.
People (and all living organisms) adapted to them, which entailed certain mutations. If you don’t know how to adapt, you won’t survive! The most memorable example on this topic: hares who have learned to change the color of their skins for the winter. Everything is simple here — he didn’t enter the trend of white fur, became too noticeable against the background of snow with his gray fur coat out of season — he died.
Only those hares survived that were always “on style”. In the future, only these “mods” respectively, gave offspring. Well, and in their children a similar “taste” for changing fur is already inherent in the genes. What we conclude: a “fashionable sentence” is often followed by a death sentence!

But returning to people, remember the phrase that a man should be “a little bit more beautiful than a monkey”? So, this comparison is to some extent applicable to women, since all people descended from primates (at least until someone proved the opposite). It turns out that our ancestors were primates — and so they adapted to unfavorable conditions, adapted and “adapted” … to us.

Recipe for a man from God

Not everyone likes to be a modernized likeness of a monkey, because “in the likeness of the Lord” for our vanity sounds any nicer. So, what is the recipe for the creation of mankind God chose? He did not complicate things, and simply created Adam from the earth (“You will return to the land from which you were taken, for dust you will return to dust”), and Eve from Adam’s rib. Everything ingenious is simple!

Helping Alien Lives

I think everything here is also quite clear: the alien races arrived, did something here (there is no evidence other than the inexplicable architecture of ancient times, so what they did is also not clear) and — ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you, a reasonable person! This theory combines the concept of gradual development. That is, if the “Martians” really put their hand (claw, tentacle or whatever they have) to the appearance of such a species as a person, then only as an impetus for the mutation of genes that were presented on our planet. After all, all the chemicals that are present in the human body — are on Earth.

Where did we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?

An interesting series of questions to which there is still no answer. This is the name of the picture of the French artist Paul Gauguin, presented above. How to find the answer to these questions? Many, to solve the problem, are advised to look at it from a different angle.
I suggest using this advice and transforming three questions into one: “Why are we here?” Is there any logic in our presence in this universe or are we just a kind of system failure? I think that there should be a logical background. And not because “the ways of the Lord are inscrutable” and “He has a plan for everyone.”
My thought boils down to the fact that if the Universe is so thorough a system that it was able to simulate ideal physical laws under which life is possible, it could not be mistaken.

Everything goes to destruction

So, what is the answer to the question “Why do we need the universe?” The answer lies in the field of entropy. Entropy is a part of energy that cannot be transformed into mechanical work (no, this is not laziness!). To explain in simpler words, imagine a wine production process! Here it is infused in large bottles with a cake of grapes (fermentation is due to it) and after a while you pour it into a clean bottle. And the poor all thrown cake of grapes remains. And everyone would just continue to throw it out if savvy Georgians did not come up with a chacha! They, to some extent, transformed residual energy.

Why does the universe need entropy? Scientists have long noticed that the Cosmos has two legitimate aspirations: to destruction (corrosion, decay and many other things that everyone makes mortal) and to the formation of ordered forms (drops collect in puddles, gases in clouds, planets in the Solar systems, etc. . d.). And everything seems to be cool, harmony and balance in all its glory, if not for the subtext of ordered forms: with their help, the Universe produces destruction on a larger scale.

Before the understandable time-and-time continuum was created due to the explosion, there was nothing, only the initial Chaos. And then, all of a sudden, everything was sorted out. And here two options, either the Universe, “built” this continuum, like a little Easter cake — in order to destroy it with pleasure, or else an error occurred and now it is struggling to return everything to normal.

So, what happens: because of the Explosion, residual energy was formed that needed to be put somewhere, and therefore Father Cosmos directed all his resources to building systems where this energy would be dissipated (destroyed). This is precisely the idea that Jeremy England brings to the masses.

Dan Brown described this hypothesis in a very accessible language. It’s so accessible that I won’t even try to explain it on my own, but simply give extracts from the book:

“As Langdon understood, Jeremy England’s idea was that the Universe exists for the sole purpose. To dissipate energy. Simply put, if there is a concentration of energy somewhere, nature seeks to dissipate this energy. A classic example about which Kirsch already mentioned, “a cup of hot coffee on the table. It always cools, transferring energy to surrounding molecules, according to the second law of thermodynamics

“Simply put,” continued England, “nature organizes itself in order to dissipate energy more efficiently.” — He smiled. “Nature uses orderly structures to quickly get messy.” Ordered structures increase the disorder of the system and thereby increase entropy. It never occurred to Langdon, but obviously England was right. Examples are everywhere. Take at least a thundercloud. When it is “ordered” and accumulates an electric charge — nature creates the conditions for the discharge of lightning. In other words, the laws of physics form mechanisms for dissipating energy. A lightning strike transfers the accumulated cloudy energy into the earth and disperses there, increasing the overall entropy of the system. Elements of order in nature, Langdon realized, are tools for achieving chaos.

The tree absorbs the concentrated energy of the sun. It uses it for growth, and then radiates to nature in the infrared range — in the least concentrated form of energy. Photosynthesis is a very effective mechanism for increasing entropy. The highly concentrated energy of the sun is attenuated and dissipated by the tree. And thereby increases the overall entropy of the universe. The above is even more true for living organisms — including humans. A living organism uses ordered systems as food, converts them into energy, and then dissipates them into the environment in the form of heat. “

People are a tool for destruction

Everything seems to be clear. Only one thing is not clear: why was it necessary to create such a complex view as a person? Why was it necessary to form such a complex nervous system in us? Why is this “woe from the mind”, damn it?

I’m all because only people, possessing such a high intellect, create complex mechanisms to simplify their own lives and simplify the purpose of the universe. Our cars, factories, stations are just the perfect tool for dissipating energy! We, as a species, daily transforms such an amount of energy that does not transform all species on Earth combined. We are not quite a simple, but elegant solution to the Universe of its goal.

George Carling American comedian, actor, writer

“The planet does not share our preconceptions about plastic. Plastic came out of the Earth. She may perceive plastic as one of her children. There is only one reason why the Earth allowed us to leave it initially — she wanted to get plastic for herself. Not She knew how to do it, and we were needed! This may be the answer to the centuries-old philosophical question: “Why are we here?” Plastic, assholes! ”

Carling, albeit in his own manner, also spoke of this. We are all used to discussing the harm of humanity to the environment: glaciers melt because of us, fresh water disappears because of us, animals die out because of us. Yes, even before us, the planet destroyed 97% of the species (somewhere, a dinosaur sighed sadly). We have nothing to do with it!

Imagine how the Universe, rubbing misted glasses, examines dinosaurs with its own creation and sadly calculates the percentage of energy dissipation: “Not enough! I don’t invest in deadlines! I have Deadline after 7 trillion years! Something more effective is needed.” She, like House, throws a ball into the wall and suddenly with a cry of “Eureka!” draws a drawing — think of whom? — man. Quickly estimating in her head that dinosaurs (as representatives of the conservative party) would not allow her little men to develop, she throws a meteorite onto the Earth (an ordinary fetish). And now, when almost all species die, the little rodent, hiding in the ground, experiences all the cataclysms. And with his story “The Last Survivor” our history begins — the history of mankind.

Who knows, maybe after some time the Universe will appreciate the graphics again and sadly looking at the clock, he will go to draw another brilliant drawing. Perhaps, somewhere there, in the depths of the distant Cosmos, which meteorite №2 is already flying, and dinosaurs, giggling sarcastically, free up our place next to them in non-existence.

So, no need to think about some kind of global mission of mankind! If life palms lemons, you need to make lemonade out of them! If the Universe uses our life only to dissipate as much energy as possible, then this means that in this process we should get as much pleasure as possible, experience as much happiness as possible, fulfill all our dreams. The universe has its own goals, man has its own!
