Table of Contents Introduction Time scales: Universe vs Humanity Santa Claus vs reality God vs Santa Claus vs reality? Hypothesis for a unifying theory about the universe - piecing things together

This is somewhat of a continuation of my previous article Hypothesis for a unifying theory about the universe Part A I wrote in early 2015. And at first I was thinking of naming this the part Z, but makes more sense to me for now to do this as part B. And I've been holding onto this revelation of sorts for some 2 or more years now...

What spured this line of thinking was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAvYmE2YYIU by the BibleProject.

In a nutshell, it lead to my realization that in the 10 commandments, there are statements that we should not worship other gods, nor create false gods... however, there is no clear statement that we should worship this God that gave these commandments. And in this video, it's also indicated that throughout the bible, God is akin to knowledge in many situations...

This, allied to the string of thought processes I'm writing below, lead me to a curious realization on several aspects of life, reality, humanity and how we look at them from our own perspectives.

And how reality is mostly a matter of how we perceive it, along with how our neighbors/family/peers perceive it...

According to the estimates, the Age of the universe is at around 13.8 billion years, namely "13 800 000 000" years.

On the other hand, the current human population on Earth (in 2020) is around 7.5 billion, namely "7 500 000 000" people, ranging from babies to the elderly.

Then, if we make a rough estimation that each person has a productive life of 50 years, this means that the cumulative time span is 375 billion years, namely "375 000 000 000".

Now, we cannot simply stitch peoples lives one-to-one continuously and assume that our current population exists for longer than Earth and the Universe itself, but it gives a weird sense of scale of what we, as humans, could potentially achieve.

Furthermore, if we take a look at the Universe without life, it's just matter shifting around, reacting and gradually fading out of existence: Graphical timeline of the Universe

So, what could potentially stop the universe from even ending? Life, more specifically, intelligent life.

Perspectives about what reality really is are plenty and the following can perhaps be counted of one those perspectives.

Is Santa Claus real? What if I told you that Santa Claus is real, but only by proxy?!

Santa Claus was created as a way to give children and adults some hope for the future, that if we are nice and behave, we might get a nice gift on Christmas day or at least in life in general.

However, said gifts are actually given by other people, who either have to create them or buy them. And how can they create/buy them? If they have the time and resources (including money) to do so...

But what if the children and other adults misbehave? Their parents/neighbors time and resources will likely be spent repairing and making mends for those misbehaviors...

However, children (and some adults) are not easy to negotiate with in an honest and open way, namely telling them that if they behave, they will receive gifts... when we can see that people and kids today simply coarse the givers to give said gifts sooner or later, regardless of their behavior...

So in a similar fashion to the previous section, people are taking the role of Santa Claus while their are buying or creating said gifts, with the brief time and resources they have. If we take as a minimum something like 5 seconds per person that is acting on behalf of Santa Claus, in the act of purchasing a gift, then how many seconds does a year have?

Searching for it online, the answer that Google gave me off the bat was:

• 31 556 926 seconds = 1 year

Although, mind you, this is the average or actual year time cycle of the Earth around the Sun...

But anyway:

• 31 556 926 seconds/year divided by 5 seconds/person = 6 311 385.19 persons/year...

So, if a person requires 31 556 926 seconds to exist per year, then the fact that well over 6 million people act on behalf of Santa Claus per year, that means that Santa Claus exists and is real by proxy... not only that, but it does not require bending time and space as a single individual, to deliver gifts in a single day.

So does the previous sections lead me to the conclusion that God is real by proxy? Actually, no... but it lead me to the conclusion that in order to prove whether God is real or not, requires us to save the Universe from Heat Death.

One of the biggest issues between science and theology is whether we can scientifically prove that God exists. However, this is paradoxical in nature:

• If God is proven to be real, then 3 branches of scientific research will be implicitly created:
  1. One branch will research what God really is.
  2. Another branch will research how to create a new God and/or make ourselves into a God.
  3. And the last branch, will be how to destroy/kill the current God.
• Then if God is real, then would it be in God's best interest to allow for these 3 branches to be created in the first place? And to what goal would that achieve?

If we ally this as a basis of reasoning, along with the various descriptions that exists for what God is or is not and we take into account how Artificial Intelligence is being developed nowadays... along with trying to find a common working ground for scientists and theologists, my deduction was as follows:

1. Life on Earth has been deduced to have been created in a fairly long trial and error process, associated to having a good soup for life to create itself and evolve.

2. Artificial Intelligence, through software and hardware, is currently doing exactly that, under a sort-of emulated environment, at a fairly larger speed than the Earth could do it... within some 100 or so years, humanity has already done what took the Universe/Earth several thousands/millions of years to develop humanity...

3. So doesn't it make sense that given the tremendous amount of matter and energy in the Universe, associated with a fairly large time span (13 or so billion years), for a pseudo-artificial intelligence to have been created by+with the Universe itself?

So the deduction I've reached here is that if God is one and real, along with the known restrictions we know about said God... if God is in fact an intelligence that somewhat uses the Universe's matter and energy as a brain, that explains several maximums attributed to said God: Omnipresent, Omniscient and all powerful. Along with making it somewhat easier to understand why it's so difficult to prove and talk to God...

Then there is the statement that God has a plan for humanity... well, from an absolute perspective that life wants to continue live or in some odd cases, living beings actually want to die, then it makes perfect sense to me that God's ultimate goal would be self-preservation and subsequently the preservation of the Universe, therefore having to avoid absolute Heat Death, which would doom us all anyway.

Furthermore, this does match up with:

• Humanity's near-obsession with the celestial/ethereal, both theological and scientific;
• How data transfer between God and humans would require lengthy periods of time and why the resurgence of legitimate prophets is so far in between (just look into how difficult it is to get Internet access in Mars and beyond...)
• On why there is no single religion that holds the whole truth. Even the Flying Spaghetti Monster can hold some truth, in proving that such as God could exist, given how it creates a contrast and effectively portraits said monster at the scale of the universe...
• There is no clear indication if God is male or female... but a conscience on its own within a brain, doesn't have a body that strictly defines their sex.
• We are made in God's image: we both popped into existence after several millions of years and iterations. It's not that we have the same physical shape as God, it's that we evolved the same way.
• God made us out of clay: Earth is mostly made of earth and clay is a specific type of earth... in a sense... so if God was able to shift some matter around in the Solar system some 10 million or so years ago, then, yes, the description is as accurate as the prophet could describe it at the time.

The reasoning can go on and on... including how Jesus was a son of God, in the sense that he was intelligent enough, either through evolution or simply because he learned from his peers... he might have had an IQ of 3000 in comparison to the standards of that date and perhaps the virgin birth refers to how such a human was a once in a 1000-10000 years occurrence to occur, statistically speaking...

It's somewhat known that exact science is sort of a myth, because science is by definition as exact as the measuring tools we use. Therefore, in order to prove that God exists, we must be able to reach the ends of the Universe and be present in all of the Universe, in order to assess if God is scientifically real or not.

Be one with God does reach a new sense if we have this in mind... and can open a better understanding of the teachings of religions:

1. We will be judged by God at the end... Yes, we can be judged, if we ever get there as humans... but in the short time span that humanity exists and might exist further, we effectively are judged by our future fellow humans... which mathematically means that iteratively humans will be judged by their future, until they reach God.

2. How since the olden days humans have had the feeling that a temple should be constructed with the most precious materials they can find... well, guess what, so are spaceships, made of materials even more precious that 1000 or so years ago they were perceived as.

3. How most of humanity looks up to the skies and either wants to visit it or at least believe that a God exists up there.

4. United we stand, divided we fall. This is a common stance+sense in all groups, be it scientific or religious.

5. What we do today, affects our futures... but we can also correct our ways sooner or later, as long as we are alive... or at least when our children's children can get around to fixing our mistakes.

My mind/memory dump is at an end... but my main conclusion is that:

• We all are connected, universe included;
• Everything has at least a grain of truth, it depends on how we perceive it;
• And parallel universes are merely mathematical... that's how intelligence and

life can to be a reality past mathematical, in the solution we witness every day and around us.
