It seems depressing, I will give you that, but that is part of the challenge and challenges are part of the journey.
That's what life is, a journey and one of the many challenges is to find that reason to keep putting your foot forward. A reason to get out of bed in the morning, to find that one thing that will give your life some kind of meaning.
It's about braving the ocean and the waves and trying to catch as much of them as you can, and when you fall off the board, when you get pulled away in a riptide, when you go out too far or get lost, you keep on trying in hopes that one day, you will find the shore and be able to look back on the ocean and enjoy the view. It's about fighting the undertow and every now and then, you have to endure the sight of watching others be taken by it. And maybe you will never get to the shore, but maybe you will, so you keep swimming.
It's about making the best of the one life that you have. Even, 9 billion years from now, when the Earth becomes uninhabitable and further on down the road, everything turns to dust, destruction, and ruin and a new universe forms, even when no one even remembers your name, or that the human race even existed, even if the laws of physics were to shift, nothing will truly change the fact that you were here and that you lived.
If there is ANY belief in this life worth holding on to, it is that you are here. You are the product of thousands of years of human suffering, strife, bloodshed, pride, hard work and sacrifice and your ancestors have trusted you to further the human race. Even if the entirety of the human race goes to ruin, even if we die tomorrow, there is no afterlife and our bodies become nothing but atoms, molecules and small strings of matter... you were here and you have the chance now to do something about it.
Live, because your only alternative is to die, and if you will not die, then live in the manner in which your ancestors can be grateful for. And if not, live in a manner in which you can be grateful for. And if not, then not. Life is here. You are here. Be here, and be grateful for there are those that are not here to be grateful to be here.
Please be more careful with your thoughts. A new Universe will not form in the same region of space that this Universe exists in.
Also, I once thought similarly as you do, that once we die, nothing happens. True, your dead body would have to obey the laws of conservation of massenergy. I now know that this is not entirely correct. It is not that difficult to understand, and has nothing to do with a 'supernatural being'. Please ask yourself, if you had transporter and replication technologies and an unlimited supply of energy, what would you do with it?
"Please be more careful with your thoughts. A new Universe will not form in the same region of space that this Universe exists in."
Although there is a lot of scientific evidence backing the theories regarding the repeated cycles of the universe, we do not know for sure exactly what WILL happen. This was not even my claim.
"Also, I once thought similarly as you do, that once we die, nothing happens. "
I believe in an afterlife, if not the one that is typical to my religion (LDS) then a more universal version.
"Please ask yourself, if you had transporter and replication technologies and an unlimited supply of energy, what would you do with it?"
I do not understand where this question comes from, but my answer to you would be the USS Enterprise.
It could quite possibly be me, but a your post seems to be a bit out of the left field here.
I will explain.
You had supported a long-standing view by some people that the Universe is in a state of change from order to entropy. This is not what we actually observe in nature. Instead, the opposite is true. We know from observation of Cosmic Background Radiation that the early Universe was quite uniform in nature (in a more entropic state). As we observe the Universe today, it is apparant that it is more ordered.
We also know that the Universe is currently expanding and accelerating (occupying a greater region of space as time moves forward). If entropy theory were correct, then we should be observing disintegration of this Universe and formation of new Universes. We know that this is not true.
There can only be one solution to this problem. I told you a little white lie. Universes do form in the region of space that this Universe exists in (more correctly proto-Universes), but because this Universe already occupies this region of space, we adsorb these proto-Universes.
Although cyclical behaviour is extant in many aspects of nature, none of these cycles are perfect (infinitely variable), due to the expansionary nature of the Universe.
You can now rationalize what will happen to the Universe. It will continue to expand indefinitely, and it will become more ordered.
Please stay away from string theory, it is a trap from which there is no escape.
There is a reason why the creatures (who many perceive to be deities) put these concepts into Gene Roddenberry's mind. It is so that ordinary people can understand concepts that are necessary for understanding the actual nature of the Universe.
Lds are a bunch of blasphemers because they just rewrote the bible and dress like potsy to fool people off their insane sex crazed peodophille cult. How can you re write the bible then pretend that you are Christian ? Wolf in sheeps clothing, scum of the earth and proud of it. You all are Christians like tebow is a quarterback. Scum.
Is it normal to feel empty?

I was being more in the way of philosophical than scientific but... thanks =\
Lds are a bunch of blasphemers because they just rewrote the bible and dress like potsy to fool people off their insane sex crazed peodophille cult. How can you re write the bible then pretend that you are Christian ? Wolf in sheeps clothing, scum of the earth and proud of it. You all are Christians like tebow is a quarterback. Scum.
Where's your confetti? That was great...
I fell in love with this post. It's so what I needed to hear. Now part of it is the screenshot on my desktop. So wise, thank you!
