Do you think we will ever figure out the universe?

I look at it like this: The universe doesn’t care about if it makes sense to us. The universe could make no sense at all, therefore maybe impossible to comprehend for our human brains. Maybe we are only able to figure out the part of the universe that makes sense, and we meet a dead end where it stops making sense to our brains that can do no more than math and measuring.

We know more about the chemical compound of the universe, now. Otherwise, it just seems to be the forces of fire and ice.

No. Never.

We are so so so tiny. The universe is so so so grand. Humans, especially in Western countries, are as arrogant to think we know it all. When we know nothing. And us overestimating our knowledge and underestimating nature’s knowledge brought us in great trouble.

As a small example of a bigger theme. Birds see the world totally different than us, because they see UV light. There’s a whole world of colours out there, that are there, but we do not see. Our complete way of experiencing in the world is extremely limited. Our senses, our thoughts, our feelings, our everything. Thus. We can never figure out the universe.

I’m watching videos of physicist talking about the universe of YouTube. But I think I’m going to stop, I get anxious thinking about the universe.

Learning about the universe is just like any other science

I guess you could say it could be used to help find and fix problems here on earth hopefully

I think it’s good to wonder about how fascinating the universe is as long as it’s not triggering or anything

If it is indeed a simulation there doesn’t need to be underlying order.

I think we are doing real well in figuring out the universe. I mean 100,000 years ago we had the drawing ability of a kindergartener but now we can see into the deep universe with the James Webb Space Telescope so I do believe progress is being made.

It is just going to take a while.

We’ll never be able to answer the question “why is there something instead of nothing”

What ever it is ain’t a beauty ?

I some times do wonder why do we exist.

And only think i am able to comprehend is something is learning and growing. Its not about humanity but the universe it self.

Here for the universe there is nothing wrong or right thing to do. One thing is if we dont follow the rules how the universe works for real we could end our species.

So what is universal rule ?

Survival of the fittest, still holds strong :thinking:

I think i am seated here on the other side on a planet and texting so you guys see in real time.

One can think there are connection in universe way advance than we think off.

We think in terms on what we have seen and experienced. And the crazy thing of thinking is it has no limits as well.

So everything is infinite.

To understand the universe we should not use the brains or heart.

But just live with the present situation exposed to us.

When time come universe will keep revealing stuff. Beacuse it wants to grow in someting which it cannot access. Universe does miss something thing and we all organism are in pursuit of it. And the universe is learning.

Yeah that’s pretty mindboggling. How could something just exist out of nothing to begin with. To the human brain this is completely illogical. It’s not hard to understand many people believe in a higher power when our existence can not be explained. I mean even the big bang theory doesen’t explain how matter always existed.

Your opposite to religious thought which are established by people.

I think Brain doesn’t able to understand anything until the light from the object that comes in our both eyes ratina " at the same time". If this time differ mean - if the light erupted from object at one time but if hit in the both ratina not in (some time after) at one particular time, then brain don’t understand it. Thanks.
Possible causes of it is the very high velocity of objects or a prism like structure fitted in front of your eyes..

Brain and universe have similarities.
Both are so complex

Some people claim they have already figured out the universe. In fact I think they are in the majority.

Very clever thought, well it’s a fact probably!
