Death is a taboo thing for most people. We are not willing to face death and are full of fear of death. But we all know that one day we will face death. In fact, not only humans, but also everything in the universe will eventually die, and even the universe itself cannot escape.
It is precisely because of the fear of death that from ancient times to the present, people have always tried their best to defeat death and dreamed of gaining eternal life one day. But for thousands of years, eternal life has remained a dream, and people have begun to understand that the so-called "eternal life" is probably just a good wish that can never be realized.
Death is like the basic law of nature. We have to face it all the time. Why does nature have such a law?
Many times, human beings are too self-righteous. Wisdom brings unparalleled civilization to human beings, but at the same time, it also makes human beings fall into a self-centered state and cannot extricate themselves. Human beings will involuntarily think about problems in a self-centered way.
In fact, human beings are too insignificant in front of nature, because human beings themselves are products of nature. To put it bluntly, they are the "nuclear waste" produced by stars in the nuclear fusion process. Everything in the universe comes from the earliest stars. !
The early universe only consisted of hydrogen and a small amount of helium. Under the influence of gravity, hydrogen continued to gather. When it reached a certain critical point, nuclear fusion began to occur, and the first batch of stars were born.
But the star's hydrogen fuel is limited after all. As the fuel is exhausted, the star tragically dies, and the residue after death becomes the raw material for the next generation of stars and planets.
The nuclear fusion of stars produces light and heat, which leads to the rich and colorful life world on earth today. But did you know that the process of stellar nuclear fusion is actually a process of continuous death, which means that if stars did not die, there would be no nuclear fusion, and of course there would not be the vast world we see today.
For the first generation of stars, after their death, the remaining matter was violently ejected into interstellar space, creating a new generation of stars and planets.
rises to the height of the universe. Similarly, the universe will inevitably come to an end one day. This is because of the existence of a principle: entropy increase principle . Everything will always spontaneously move from order to disorder, and entropy will Getting bigger and bigger means that everything will become more and more chaotic and disorderly, and eventually move toward complete disorder, which is the end of the universe.
From this point of view, death is not terrible. It can even be said that death is also the beginning of new life. Without the death of the first stars, there would be no new generation of stars and planets. Without the death of stars, there would be no light and heat on the earth, the birth of life would be impossible, and of course humans would not be possible!
