Actually, i’m going to try both, obviously music would be the earning force.
What the theory involves is pretty much everything. so to write a convincing paper i’m going to need dna experts, evolution experts, astronomers, astrophysicists, mathematicians…
that’s what the pitch is for.
The subject is so vast i.e. it involves the whole universe it would take several lifetimes to even make a start. What i’m hoping is that a few mad and brilliant people, with as much imagination and subsequent ambition as i have, will contribute a chapter to the book. Obviously a book that proves the meaning of life as the meaning of life and everything would be a bestseller for at least a decade. Think of the billions of dollars it would make.
Every contributor would get a cut of the profit.
All we have to do is prove that life is a chain of events and then find a way of making a convincing argument, then publish it and hey presto! the world will change, probably overnight.
Look it’s daunting, i’ll admit but it’s not difficult nor is it a lot of work.
think about making a bowl of cornflakes, doing a sum, reading a book, driving a car, thinking, writing a book, playing a musical instrument, running a race, drawing a picture, buying milk, etc
all of these things need the universe to be a chain of events otherwise they just wouldn’t happen. Your own brain even works on the principal of input-process-output, that is a chain of events too!
Come on people, it’s not difficult, just a little daunting.
All you have to do to convince yourself is conduct an experiment.
Think in my terms for one day, and analyse the events you participated in.
It should occur to you that at each second, minute and hour something was changing to allow the next event to occur, be it getting in your car to drive to work, to do work then come home again, or cooking or reading a book.
Reading a book, how is that a chain of events i hear you asking?
when you see the first word your brain has to recognise and record it, then the eyes have to move to the next word, which has to be recognised and recorded then pasted to the previous word, then the next word and so on. When you get to the end, run the events backwards and if the process was a chain of events you should arrive back at the beginning of the book, and should be able to continue beyond that, and with enough knowledge all the way back to the beginning of the universe.
Please, in the name of a philosophically simpler future, please try to understand or at least try the experiment. I know it’s hard to give up your beliefs in order to see things differently. I should know i was the son of a minister of the church, brought up strictly with the bible and believed in it as a child, but even i managed to look at things from a completely different angle and come up with this.
Look i don’t want a simple existance, i want the truth and the only way to get it is to look at everything and break it down to one element. that element is the reason why everything is in the universe. It shouldn’t be hard to find as it exists in everything!
That’s why i arrived at the conclusion i arrived at.
The only thing everything had in common was that they changed position in the universe every second, i.e. a series of events were occuring every second causing an expanding/unfolding universe which could be traced back to its origin, i.e. it was a chain of events in time causing the movement into the future, therefore the universe was an unfolding chain of events. life was part of this chain and so life itself was a chain of events. So the meaning of life, since the meaning of events is to cause the future to become the present, is to carry out the chain of events so that your future state would become your present state.
In other words the meaning of life was to carry out a chain of events.
These events would depend on where, when and why the life was created but would ultimately cause the future to become the present.
I wish you could all see this, and i have no idea, when history is staring you in the face and screaming ‘i am a chain of events’, why most people insist the universe is random.
