AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the philosophical implications of human agency and its impact on the universe. It raises the question of whether humanity's ability to manipulate the environment disrupts the natural equilibrium of the cosmos. The analogy of a weight moving on a spinning object illustrates the potential consequences of human actions on a larger scale. Participants suggest that this topic aligns more with philosophical inquiries about free will and consciousness rather than scientific discourse. The conversation also touches on the second law of thermodynamics, emphasizing that all systems, including life, tend towards entropy and disorder, regardless of human influence. The connection between this scientific principle and philosophical or biblical perspectives is noted, highlighting the complexity of understanding humanity's role in the universe.

Only curious about one thing right now. Has anyone thought that us as humans making the decision to move masses outside that of what is already in process in the universe might have been a bad thing. Like a weight having a conscious ablity to get up and move on any plane of a true(equilibrium)spinning object would unsettle the object causing an out of true rotation even the slightest movement...only asking

Greetings !

Welcome to PF Nowbodylaterenergy !

I believe your message should be posted in the
Philosophy forum rather than this one.
You could sum it there as "free will" and
"non-material mind" questions. As for the
scientific view on this (since you posted it
in this forum) - we are made of the same
particles, subject to the same chemical
reactions and are in no significant way more
special than a rock.

Live long and prosper.
 
no I don't meen this as a hipothetical statement has anyone done the math on what happens when we as the only truly known creaters to have the countious freedom to move the now currently known universe into different places in the universe. think before you act for truth as it is will change when the slightest mistake is made. I throw a 10lb. rock in a lake the entire balance of that lake is then forever changed by me the countious one not the rock. so don't breath without understanding that all is changed with your one breath.
 
Everything moves towards entropy and disorder, with or without mankind. It's the second law of thermodynamics. Life is no different in this respect.
You may breathe in safety now...
 
the sencond law of thremodynamics sounds like Colossians 1:17 in the bible weird ...
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
