Oneliner for Earth's happenings
The following concepts and facts made me think about what exactly is happening in this earth.
1) Universe might have formed during big bang ( Big bang theory)
2) Living things are formed from non-living molecules which in turn are formed from basic elements.
3) Living organisms formed and evolved over 4 billions years in earth
4) Our Brain is not a complicated system but is a complex system. So whole is more than the sum of its parts. That extra in the sum is the consciousness. So consciousness is just a side effect of the working of the subsystems of our brain.
6) Second law of thermodynamics says that "In a closed system, a process can occur only if it increases the total entropy of the system"
7) Living organisms are examples for decreasing entropy. (Of course in an open system)
8) Human beings have the capability to decrease entropy due to their own actions which in turn results in our illusion of having "Free will" and "Consciousness".
So here is my oneliner for what exactly is happening in our earth.
"The Initial state(Boundary condition) of earth happened such a way that some systems called living organisms formed which in turn decreased the entropy in earth and some systems called human beings formed which accelerated the entropy-decreasing process many times"
So none of these things seem purposeful. And of course, why should there be any purpose? Because, we are trained from our childhood to always link cause and effect and hence we are always trying to determine the purposes of all processes in this universe. So if there are no purposes, we need to gather more evidences for that.
I don't really have an idea about how long we will be able to decrease entropy in this specific part of the universe. I expect many technological breakthroughs in the coming years which in turn can be used to understand these things better.
