Life, death and awareness.

5. Matter, Energy, Complexity, and Entropy

These are my own thoughts take from them what you will.

Space time is not consistent, these inconsistencies are what we call forces. These forces manipulate matter and energy into more complex arrangements within space time. Entropy returns complexity to simplicity. Energy and matter are never destroyed, they change forms. The time scale in which this transformation occurs is relative to the viewer.

We are nothing more than a complex coupling of matter and energy.

It took a "really long time" for something as complex as us to form, so we feel pretty special. We've also been pretty good at figuring out whats going on around us (as compared to anything else on our planet), so something as emotionally jarring and all reaching as the concept of death really needed a good explanation. Predating the now commonplace (lol!) acceptance that universal facts matter, religion stepped in to give an unquestionable answer.

Science asks why? Religion teaches you not to.
