So basically, the whole and only point of life is to absorb, emit, and to better deal with the large imbalance and chaotic flow of energy. Such as from a star (the Sun). Without such an energy source, there's is no large imbalance of energy, so therefore no point of atoms rearranging themselves to deal with energy imbalance.
Well that sounds kind of hopeless.
Yeah it does... but only because the human mind naturally needs to have a reason for everything. But if you think outside of that, it makes sense.
In that guise how can you not believe in fate? (not saying you Tim, does or doesn't, asking in general).
I've never dismissed the possibility or idea of something operating in dimensions beyond what we can physically interact with , especially now that scientists believe they are now able to show or prove through an experiment the existence of a 4th dimension. I didn't look very much into the details yet so I don't quite understand it enough to come to my own conclusions or comment much on it. So, perhaps there is something beyond the 3 physical dimensions that can have influence over matter in our three-dimensional world... well I suppose so long as energy is able to exist in other dimensions. But that's another discussion. Maybe energy is non-dimensional and exists in all.
Time. Time is the 4th dimension.
Oh no, the articles I was referring to talked about a fourth spacial dimension, not 4th as in spacetime:
What these newest studies are looking for is the effects of a fourth spatial dimension that can be detected within our three-dimensional world. We’d have no idea what it looks like or what kind of a reality a fourth dimension would offer, but if it does exist in the hidden background of our three-dimensional existence, science might be able to prove it’s there.

But yeah, something existing in the 4th (spacetime) dimension would have the ability to be everywhere at any time, at the same time... perhaps pure energy.

We've been buying all of these books for the last decade or so. She's read them all, but I haven't had a chance to read any of them. Still on my to-do list. I did the The Visitation movie, but I'm sure its not as good as the book.
