This is the most incredible theory I have ever heard of. According to Xue Ding'e's definition, the meaning of life may become valuable.
And don’t even look at the extremely huge universe system, it may be a huge living body. So is all this possible? If Schrödinger's definition is used to explain everything in this world, it may not be possible.
Carbon-based life
What is the meaning of life? Human beings are just a category of life on Earth. But what level is the entire earth civilization in the universe? Is our existence the scenery of the universe or the driving force for the advancement of history?
Many people may have different definitions of life form.
In people's traditional concepts, life on Earth is given the characteristics of perceived external environment, possessing energy metabolism functions and reproductive characteristics. However, all life that survives on the earth is ultimately carbon-based organism .
Everyone can inhale oxygen and then spit out carbon dioxide . But then you think, if we leave the earth, where can we continue to survive? We need the atmosphere, oxygen, liquid water and a stable celestial magnetic field.
Of course, all this can be given to the earth. But what is strange is that if we leave the earth, including humans, basically all carbon-based organisms will not be able to continue to survive, let alone develop civilization.
So can we understand this way, humans are imprisoned on the earth?
If we do not work hard to develop our scientific and technological level and improve our own cognition, we may only be imprisoned in a cage until humans disappear completely. And the vastness of the universe is always a height that humans cannot directly see.
Silicon-based life
In order to break the deadlock of thought, scientists have speculated that there may be another form of life in a certain corner of the universe, that is, silicon-based life with the same silicon attributes as carbon.
If such living organisms really exist, their structure will be simpler than ours.
Because silicon element is easy to bind to oxygen, it produces violent reactions and generates silica . You should know that humans, as carbon-based life, need to inhale oxygen, and finally, after physical transformation, carbon dioxide is discharged from the body.
But if silicon-based organisms really exist, they are magical. Assuming that this living organism also needs to inhale oxygen, what they vomit will not be gas, but a solid energy, that is, silica. So theoretically speaking, there are still many scientists who do not believe that silicon-based life really exists.
You may sigh when you see this, since carbon-based creatures may be the only living organisms in the vast universe, why are we imprisoned on Earth again? As an individual who also has life, are the cosmic life forms rich and colorful or unique?
"Yiwen Lei Ju" is a book with philosophical meaning. It contains the following sentence: The great god of Cangjing, a martial ancestor in the universe, conceals the conspiracy of the emperor of the Supreme God. This story mainly tells: Some people once thought that the small moon carrying human race shouldered a mysterious responsibility, it sent the human race to the earth and built a stable ecological natural circle.
Humans only have life in such an environment, and as carbon-based creatures, it will never be difficult for them to completely escape from the earth.
Please look carefully. Our home does have many near-perfect conditions.
, for example, a stable ecology, provides a protective atmosphere, can complete self-circulation climate, and Earth's magnetic field can resist dangerous energy from the universe... These conditions create a safe enough home for carbon-based life.
So is life as humble as a pet to the universe, or is it shouldering other important responsibilities? If we want to find the answer to the question, we may have to rethink it from a philosophical perspective.
, for example, Schrödinger's definition, may explain the truth well.
Schrödinger definition
1944 Schrödinger published a book called "What is Life". This book presents a very strange point of view, saying that life lives with negative entropy . So what is negative entropy?
This is a measure, entropy is a physical quantity, usually used in the range of thermodynamics, mainly describing the state of energy degradation.
Similarly, it can also refer to a degree of development of certain material system states. Negative entropy is the opposite of entropy, which represents the degree of orderly, organized and complex state.
Simply put, entropy is the degree of disorder, and entropy is the degree of order. Then if life feeds on negative entropy, that is, life wants to establish its own higher civilization, the premise is to continue itself in an orderly natural environment.
When you think about it, you will suddenly find that the energy consumed by all living things on the earth actually has the same root.
Whether it is a plant or a lithosphere, the food and energy we consume all come from sunlight, so the fundamental source of negative entropy on the earth is sunlight.
So under what circumstances will the universe enter a chaotic and disorderly state? This state is also called the process of entropy increase , which represents disorder.
When entropy increases, the state of chaos and disorder will continue to soar. At this time, the environment will actively create an isolated system . At the same time, it can continuously exchange internal energy and release heat to the outside world.
When its state reaches a certain saturation level, disorder will become orderly.
According to Schrödinger's definition, the end of entropy increase is negative entropy, which means the true meaning of the existence of life on Earth. If we look at it from this definition, it may be a process of fighting the law of entropy increase and helping the world from order to disorder, and then from disorder to order, until the end of one's own life, and completing the mission. After such explanation, the meaning of life is more like a complex process. This does not involve space and time, but is closer to philosophy.
Perhaps the law of entropy increase in the universe can further prove that the world we know may be a huge living body. And the true meaning of your and my existence is just to let it go, and the purpose is to maintain the system organization.
In fact, the meaning of life is indeed difficult to analyze with objective theories such as physics.
Therefore, whether it is Schrödinger's definition or some other philosophical thinking, they are all trying to answer from a subjective concept.
But subjective things do not have standard answers, so whether it is Xue Ding'e's definition, it can explain the meaning of life from a specific perspective. Or other philosophers may not have any mistakes in answering this question from different dimensions.
So in your opinion, what does the value of life on earth mean to the universe?
