Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
The universe is stars and planets and gas and dust and comets and stuff.

Energy is the capacity to do work. Dark matter is some sort of hypothetical matter that doesn't reflect light or something, I don't really know.

But why can they run so much faster and have bigger dicks and win the Olympics too. It's not fair on people like me


Also, I had a single thought, but i'm too drunk to remember what it was. Maybe that's why the world is so hosed up.

wrong. as a black person i can personally confirm that we all consist of the densest of anti matters and, if allowed to populate sufficiently will create a singularity resulting in the evaporation of the universe.

op you're basically correct

an important and probably correct way to think about the universe is as a single incredibly complex - or incredibly simple - quantum probability space with infinite dimensions, which as you suggest, any slice of which by its nature contains its whole, just like a fractal

good work

light (photons) don't have an anti-particle. Anti-matter is real and observable in various tests *.Baryon asymmetry tries to account for why we don't have very much dark matter in the observable universe. I think it is because our autistic children stopped building better telescopes and were encouraged to more crayon drawings.

something that i think is weird is that reality exists and its almost incomprehensible to imagine any tautology to it. like something weird is happening when really nothing should be happening at all imo

like what if nothing existed

ok. he posits that the reason why everything is fundamentally mathematical is because mathematics is the ultimate nature of reality. every mathematical object exists, including our - and every other self-consistent - universe. these mathematical objects are complete and unchanging; they might have time as part of their makeup but only internally, like a book in an infinite unchanging library: the ensemble.

an exercise to think about : there is a book. the characters believe themselves alive and experience time, and have every proof of this, although we know they can't change beyond what has been written and we can read the pages in any order we choose.

1. what is the nature of existence for these characters if no-one chooses to read the book?
2. how would it change if no-one could read that book because it was locked away?
3. how would it change if no-one knew of the existence of the book, not even its author?
4. how would it change if the book was in a language no-one could read?
5. how would it change if the book was burnt to ashes?
6. how would it change if the book never existed?
7. how are we different to the characters?
