"The universe is the organ of a giant creature, and we humans are part of this biological system. ”
Doesn't this sound a little crazy, but both humans living on Earth and other life forms living outside of Earth have expressed great interest and curiosity about this topic.
With the exploration of the unknown universe by human beings, in order to better know and understand the universe, people have become more and more curious about the universe, including whether this universe is the organ of a giant creature.
So can the universe really be seen as a giant living system?
1. The structure of the universe.
The structure of the universe can be broadly divided into three different levels, which are cosmic clusters of galaxies, galaxies composed of stars, and stars consisting of some celestial bodies around and above stars.
Of these three levels, the more important is the cosmic group of galaxies, because there are higher-level structures that can be composed of "supergalaxies" above it.
Within these hierarchical structures, stars can be seen as "cells" in a living system, galaxies made up of stars can be seen as cellular tissues, and cosmic groups of galaxies can be seen as organs.
In such a hierarchical structure, the role of the cosmic group is to "transport energy", and galaxies and stars "store" and "transform" this energy.
The organs in the biological system are realized through the cellular organization of the organism, while the organs represented in the cosmic group are realized through stars and star systems.
And such a contrast is not only very similar in structure, but also in function.
Because the main role of cell organization is to store and convert energy, and stars are the energy "generators" in the universe.
Some of the celestial bodies around the stars can be seen as "enzymes" in the biological system that can regulate these "generators", and the star system is the muscle in the biological system that can regulate the cellular tissue.
In such a structure, the cosmic group can be regarded as the "brain" of the "living organism", and then give some complex instructions to the entire "living organism".
Such a correspondence is also reasonable and feasible, because in the exploration of the universe by human beings, it has also been found that various laws and phenomena existing in the universe have certain "biological attributes".
Therefore, it is perfectly understandable to think of the universe as a giant "biological system", and in such a scenario, human beings can be seen as living as part of this giant biological system.
Such an assumption is also reasonable and possible, because the "laws" and "logics" existing in the cosmic group have a certain degree of intelligence.
At the same time, in the process of exploring the universe, human beings have also found that there is also the law of "adaptability" in the operation of the universe, which also makes people can't help but think about whether the universe as a living system has "consciousness".
2. The flow of energy in the universe.
Just like cells and cell tissues, the flow of energy between cosmic groups also has a certain "flow law", and this law is also divided according to a certain "hierarchy".
In this hierarchy, the galaxy of stars is in the role of "storage" and "transformation" of energy, while the galaxy of stars is in the role of "transporting" energy.
In such a structure, it is possible to make a one-to-one correspondence between the flow of energy in the universe and the energy transformation between organs in biological systems.
In this way, it is possible to recognize more clearly the similarities and connections that exist between the universe and biological systems.
The flow of energy between cosmic groups can be compared to "the flow of blood between organs in an organism".
In this flow, energy is also "constantly converted and stored", which also corresponds to the transformation of energy between organs in the biological system.
And this contrast between the universe and the biological system also has a certain legitimacy, and in the flow of energy between cosmic groups, there is also a flow of energy that can be regarded as the flow of "blood".
This energy flow can not only "supply" energy to the "organs", but also "regulate" the entire "organism".
In such a hierarchical structure, the flow of energy "blood" between cosmic groups can be seen as giving some instructions to the entire "organism" after the "brain" has carried out a certain complex logical deduction.
Such a correspondence is also reasonable, because in the exploration of the universe by human beings, it has also been found that various phenomena and laws in the universe have a certain degree of "intelligence" and "adaptability".
People can't help but wonder whether the universe, as a living system, has a certain "consciousness" and "intelligence".
In such a scenario, human beings can be seen as part of the "universe", and in such a scenario, human cognition and understanding of the universe will also undergo a seismic change.
3. Whether the universe is conscious.
On the question of whether the universe is conscious, there is no evidence that people can "perceive" that the universe is conscious.
However, this does not mean that the universe is not conscious, and human cognition and understanding of some issues also have limitations.
Under the current level of science, people are still unable to fully explain the logic and laws of the universe, and at the same time, it cannot be ruled out that the universe is conscious.
This also puts forward higher requirements for human beings' cognitive ability of the universe, and at the same time, it also prompts people to continue to explore the mysteries of the universe.
epilogue
If the universe can really be seen as a living system, then it as a living system may have a more profound impact on human life, civilization and the future.
But all this is based on the premise that the universe is indeed a living system, and this assumption is only a reflection and exploration.
Whether the universe is conscious or not, this kind of thinking can stimulate people's curiosity and desire to explore the universe, and promote scientific research.
