This is a discussion of metaphysical ideas.

96% of the universe is said to be undiscovered by man. Of the 4% discovered, an infinitesimal percentage is organic matter, let alone living matter.

In the universe everything has a polar opposite: light has dark, cold has hot, real has imaginary. But what about time, or space-time,as Einstein extrapolates? What balances this characteristic of the universe? Nothing, because it flows one way, from the future to the past. Or so we perceive it.

What if life itself is the y-axis to the time or space-time x-axis? As time increases life changes. This seems fairly straightforward and observable, but what does it signify? And how do we know that it is life that changes and not the quality or velocity of time?

Going back to the original thought, if an infinitesimal percentage of the universe is living, why do living beings perceive themselves as righteous? Could it be that life itself is the outlaw of the universe, struggling against entropy in spite of all else? With the whole universe against us, it’s no wonder bad things happen to good people. Naturally as with any force there are also inside quarrels, rival factions fighting to be in control.
