Interesting, especially looking at it from the other side of the coin. We going out to other worlds so that if something, I mean when, to the Sun, humans won't disappear.

@KennyReddwooddforest We know today that thunder is caused by electricity in the atmosphere. Same with the belief that we have to all die one day. The research in nano technology reveals to us today that we will in around 20 years from now be able to reverse the ageing process and be able to live indefinitely. Check out Dr. Ray Kurzweil's work. Many things which humans believed to be true have been revised later on. Knowledge is in constant flow.

@deanmullen10 Yes, we don't have to worry about the things that have not been detected yet. However we can explore the universe, the brain, and dive much deeper into knowledge than ever before without worrying. Just for fun. I am for never closing the door to the unknown. Information is endless. I do not believe that the Earthlings and that includes animals as well as humans, are finite at all. Humans used to believe that thunder was created by gods. Today we know what it is.

[deanmullen10]

@KennyReddwooddforest yeah, I figure we should worry about finite issues not infinite issues as we are finite beings, perhaps there are just some things beyond us that we simply shouldn't worry about.

[KennyReddwooddforest]

@deanmullen10 To the eternal universe any action is without any evaluation. But we are here and we live. We live therefore we plan actions. When we plan actions we have to plan them according to ethics if we want to stay on the right path or even get on the right path. We all are made up of cells which are little animals. All those animals want to live. So we love them. Then we are on the right path. We plan the future out of love. Any loving activity like creating art makes more love.

Excellent video.

[deanmullen10]

The implications of Multiversal morality is huge. It could mean anything from civilizations committing civilization-wide suicide, to ignoring the rest of the Universe and staying in their own paradise, I mean with an infinite multiverse, what is right and what is wrong? if there as an infinite number of civilizations, doing anything is pointless cause we can't effect something on an infinite scale with finite actions? o.O
