The Awareness of the Whole

At first, it may have seemed that some phenomena remained mysterious or inexplicable. This content presents explanations based on current scientific knowledge. After reading it, you will understand how these concepts can be approached logically and systematically.

It is important to note that scientific understanding evolves over time. Some of the texts presented here may become less precise as knowledge improves. Everything is relative to perception and context.

Partial perception and truth

If we admit that our perception is partial and aimed at adapting to our environment, exact truth does not strictly exist. For example, even a simple statement like 1+1=2 could be interpreted differently in another context or language. Nonetheless, the content presented here provides a reliable framework for understanding current scientific perspectives.

Chapter I - Fake Chance

Everybody knows how to reproduce fake chance, for example with computer science. Can every chance however be fake ? Chance that we call chance, for example throwing the die, depends on more parameters than chance in computer science, but it can also be fake, because depending on other parameters like the constitution of the nervous system of the human being, his organism and the external signals received by that human being. Radioactive disintegration is probably also due to fake chance, because the particle coming out first depends on the forces at work around the atomic nucleus. Sometimes we think that it is due to chance because there is a great number of atoms, they are mostly uniform and the same experience is repeated a great number of times. The actual level of our science does not allow us to demonstrate it exactly. Somebody with Parkinson's disease or another problem which does not allow him to throw the die correctly could be given a big die always with the '1' face upwards, but then his chance would be maybe less precise than the chance of a computer. When I think about that I also think about the weight of the big die, which does not allow him to throw it correctly, for example, or about the hands which could be sticky or slippery. Other circumstances could maybe at the time the die is thrown provoke a simple flipping of the die or no flip in the majority of the tests. It is not in evidence the same than a loaded die, because it depends on the faculties of the person to reproduce correctly a throw (but at the end it has nearly the same effect). It could be also possible to predict the throwing scheme thanks to the given parameters of the person who will throw the die.

Every human behaviour would be in fact predictable.

That would be in evidence just a lower level experience.
Other possible experience : predict the moves of an insect in a box, and try to justify it by the composition of its nervous system and its entire body. Like suggested in another text, and what a lot of people could think, we cannot really tell if the glue on the hands belongs to that person or not, and it is not so important. All of us form an interconnected network in a pantheistic universe. The limits of such forecasts. Current example : during the night, an eclipse of the moon happens, the insect is frightened and hides in a corner... it is nevertheless possible to predict the eclipses of the moon, maybe not as exactly the occurence of a cloud passing above us. The same for a contamination by bacteria. It is also similar for a robot. Once programmed, we must know a lot of data to predict its behaviour. We can therefore think, if all reactions are scientifically predictable, that the actual x time depends on the type of roughness of the initial explosion. But if the initial explosion was rough, it can also induce that there was a time -1. Actually, we can hardly prove that the universe was not infinitely big and that the time is not infinite. If the universe was finite, we have to admit that something else would exist beside it, the same for the time. At that stage, we can nevertheless try to mark out our domain constituted by several galaxies, like an ant in a terrarium, and deduce from it what we can deduce. Maybe that domain is limited by its expansion, and it is the impassable barrier of our terrarium, at least at the present time.
The answer is following. We are aware of the world around us. That awareness, like that of robots or animals, is partial. It is there only to help us to evolve in our environment.
In conclusion, if it amuses us, we can improve ourselves in certain areas, especially if it helps us adapt to our environment. In our development stage, it is possible to think about it, but we must also prepare for the most urgent. That being said, scientific research can make us become closer, and avoid us to get stuck in stupid conflicts. About chance, finally, if it is real or fake, it does not matter, it is the same.

Chapter II - The expected result

Humans, or animals, are living beings with a central nervous system. In order to work, that system needs one motivation : happiness, and a break : pain. These beings evolve thank to different motivations of that kind in their environment in function of their genetic programming. We have then a perception of the environment which gives us the aim to have an expected result. This result is then more or less expected. The example of a non expected result is for example the withdrawal of a hand which has touched something hot. The example of a clearly expected result is for example to succeed in an exam. The obtained result is often not the expected result. However people like to work together. Teamwork can help in achieving an expected result. Sometimes, there are several scales for an expected result. For example, an human being wants that his dog climbs on a scale pan to make it go down. A sweet is placed on the scale pan. The dog sees the sweet and goes on the scale pan. It can then eat it. That is the expected result for the dog. The scale pan goes down, that is the expected result for the human. It is important in order to have a good team work to have an expected result beneficial to everyone. We were not able to fix the limit of our universe, therefore we cannot prove that chance does not exist. In all cases, like for the dog and for the human being, we can often prove that there is an expected result above another. That happens naturally, sometimes in a surprising way. When a result is surprising, is it nevertheless not expected ? Like the dog, which is surprised by the scale pan going down, though it is for the human the expected result, it is possible for us that a surprising result can have been expected. Nevertheless that seems disgusting to think that pain of some people can be an expected result. That is why we can take that in another way. The happiness of each other is an expected result for everybody sooner or later. When there is a problem, the result cannot be expected. It is then due to fake or true chance. There I don't speak about conflicts because a conflict cannot be an expected result.

Chapter III - Conclusion

When we are very clever, we can do something good without making any harm. On the contrary, we cannot do any good from harm. People who are making good around them can in that way also be considered as clever.
If we could know everything, we could predict everything from an instant t, a proof that time and space are connected. Such a degree of perfection wanted from 'god' would imply an omniscient god. It is the Alpha and Omega.
For us human beings, God is the invention of an ideal and perfect being. We admit that perfection does not belong to that world. God can be in our minds only an omniscient god, which includes everything. Otherwise there can be other extraterrestrial civilisations, a little like us, which we consider as friends. There we are at this actual stage of research. Why do we exist ? Because if we did not seem to exist we could not ask ourselves that question.
Explanation:
We all have a partial awareness, which allows us to evolve for the best in our environment. That is why we often believe that space and time are distinct. Nevertheless if we admit that they are bound, maybe we will think that becoming older is less frustrating. Therefore it is probably never possible to know everything, because we will probably never have the awareness of everything. Nevertheless, if the Universe is one whole, that means that we are all interconnected, that means therefore that our neighbor or the plant which grows beside us, and that we eat sometimes, also belongs to us and to that whole. It is just merely like our body and a cell, our communication means seem limited. Other bodies are entities, more or less endowed with movement, such as plants, molluscs, dead wood, etc...
The fact that we have a central nervous system makes us believe that we are self-sufficient, and that our consciousness is detached from the flesh. In fact, on the contrary, like a plant, or an invertebrate, our consciousness is flesh. Moreover, as each of our cells is part of our own body, we are also all part of a larger entity with which we communicate, for human beings for example the whole human civilization, but also animals, plants and rocks that make up our planet and with which we interact. An awareness located in the brain of a human being belongs to that person, even if that person can interact with the exterior using the signals he emits or he receives, which can bring situations like described in the film Avatar. Photons and electrons act like an extension of that awareness, so that even the notion of the individual disappears. It is the awareness of the whole universe. We see in that paradox of universal and individual awareness that, at the end, each grain of dust, each individual is by itself a definition of the whole.
Nevertheless why do our awarenesses seem to be apart ? In order that the whole works correctly, it is maybe necessary that the awareness of the whole is separated from the awareness of part of it. In that way the system can work correctly. However if we can be aware of that, then we can maybe really be aware of everything. We also see how it is important to do good between each other, because if you do good to your neighbor you also do good to yourself. Is god an extraterrestrial being or the god who includes everything ? God is meant to be perfect, so it is the god who includes everything. Nevertheless we or other extraterrestrial civilizations can contribute to make that god alive.
