The Science Fiction Tale ' The Last Question '

When the man in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy asks the machine that was built to answer the question of life, the universe and everything, the man's forceful and blunt word choice, demanding that he know the answer "We must know it! Now!" emphasises the ever growing lust for the knowledge of their lively hoods, brought upon by their imagination and suggest that however much information that we are capable of creating just in our individual minds it is never enough to fill this desire. When the men do not think that the answer is thorough enough the machine replies with a rhetorical question, "But what actually is it?" when referencing the ultimate question, reinforces the idea that our imagination is longing for an answer to questions that we do not have enough information to ask and promotes the use of our own minds when asking ourselves questions that may not have suitable

At the end we will have few definitive answers, but many notable implications for the way that we perceive our world on many different levels.

Once all has been done and only towards the end may true discoveries be made.

The future poses an infinite number of questions. What will happen, what will change? The infinite number of possibilities is mind-boggling. Is there anything that we can be sure of? If we assume that we, as human beings continue to survive, one this is certain, some form of society will continue.

The word “impossible” has been a controversial topic discussed for years by people who just explain why there is nothing more we can do. In the book, Physics of the Impossible, Michio Kaku takes multiple ideas and concepts from recent books or movies and he discusses how each of them could or could not exist in the future. Kaku is a theoretical physicist who attended Harvard after winning a scholarship there (preface xi). His passion for science began young in life when he entered and won a science fair, which was his inspiration (preface xi).

Thinking about the Universe as a consciousness computer and how the right atoms bump into the right other atoms, we conclude that we are the product of energy, movement, and matter touching matter, says Gregg Braden. He also declares that, as in a computer program, nature uses a few simple, self-similar, and repeating patterns – fractals – to build atoms into the familiar patterns of everything, from elements and molecules to rocks, trees, and us.

Why is there something rather than nothing? How do we know we know? What is consciousness and why do we have it? Is life all a dream? Why are there exceptions to every rule? Surrounded by ambiguity, how can we attempt to control the universe? Comfort is derived only in believing that life is not merely a series of meaningless coincidences but rather an intricate combination of events that culminate in a sublime scheme. I am yet to discover the answers to the multitude of hungry questions I have stirring inside of me, but I am ready to plunge myself into the abyss of obscurity because, unlike my four-year-old self, I now don't expect my socks to match no less line up.

We can never be certain of anything. The Matrix, is a movie based on the theory of Brains in a vat. “Intelligent compters enslaved the human race, encasing everyone in pods and electronically feeding simulations of the real world into their brains” (PHILOSOPHY HERE AND NOW, RENE DESCARTES, PAGE 275). The very famous saying of Decartes that, “ I think, therefore, I

“BOOM!!” The International Space Station (ISS) shook. My face plummeted against the ice-cold window. In pain, I looked down at earth and it was glowing blood red. Suddenly, the lights began turning off, one by one. First in America, then Australia, then Japan, then Canada, and progressed to what seemed like a global power outage. Then, nuclear bombs started going off, mushroom clouds popped around the globe. Antarctica turned grey. The world was in disaster and it looked like the earth had turned to stone. Literally, everything, including the water had turned to a grey piece of granite.

• The relatively complex analysis of the inter-related topics begins with the following assertion: According to the Cosmic Law of Fate or THE PRINCIPLE OF JUSTICE IN EXISTENCE, “…all releases of Energies must return to its Source.” In other words, every manifestation of misfortunate Destiny is the result of Cosmic Ignorance and erroneous Cosmic Chemistry, all in accord with the infringement of the Law of Cause & Effect. On the other side, any intellectualized balancing with the Basic Energies of the Universe in Thoughts and Acts unmistakably leads to rewarding outcome

Carl Sagan, a widely known American scientist has changed the way that many people view the universe. In the essay, Can We Know the Universe? by Carl Sagan, Sagan uses many different questions and scenarios to relate to a diverse audience. This technique makes the essay more interesting to a variety of readers rather than just a certain group of people.

Next, we can take a look at the Fermi Paradox. The Fermi Paradox states whether or not we are alone in our galaxy, and if not, where is everyone? In ‘life’ there are filters, or rather, great barriers for life to overcome. For example, some filters we may have to go through in the future include Nuclear War, and Climate change. Some ‘filters’ that may explain why we haven’t found any signs of advanced civilization may include things such as Advanced Technology exists, but when activated, it ends up destroying the planet. The last words of every advanced civilization would be something like “This new technology will solve all our problems once I push this button!” If this is the case, then chances are, we ourselves could be much closer to the end than we are to the beginning of human existence. Another filter could be that there is a type 3 civilization (Simply put, a civilization with some of/the most advanced technology imaginable) somewhere out there, and when

Over many centuries, there has been a great deal of controversy over the ultimate fate of the universe. It began in the early 1900’s with Albert Einstein’s theory that General relativity could be used to inform us about the universe which would also inform us on how the universe would end. Russian Physicist, Alexander Friedman, was the first to believe that universe was expanding from initial singularity which is also known as the Big Bang. After Edwin Hubble stated his observation on the universe’s expansion in 1931, the end of the universe has been a subject that many scientist have investigated.

In addition, according to the line “if you believe humans and machines will become one. Welcome to the Singularity movement”, if it really come true it sounds life is really just a linked series of chemical reactions and feelings of creatures. However life or body is not just something that only organize the complex metabolism, but the most obvious features of life is to kept "consciousness" as human; if human loss consciousness than it is not human anymore. In other perspective, human life is more than metabolism. Human's consciousness and feeling can be determined to be effect of the meaning of life. To obtain immortality, at least one of the "body" or "consciousness" still functional otherwise not

Can you imagine a machine so big it dwarfs entire planets? Can you imagine a machine with a single goal, a single purpose? Can you see it, hovering in space, blotting out the stars, so big it bends thought? Can you imagine a machine so complex that no human has ever even tried to understand it, and yet the machine exists because humans built it in the first place?
