Been thinking about life, the universe, death, and scale. Quantum sizes up to galaxies and universes. What if time and scale are infinite? What if galaxies are on an atomic scale to someone/something else? What if what we think of as huge like our universe is just a small part of a single biological organism? We're nothing more than an atom sized particle within a larger biological being. And on that logic, if time and scale are infinite, is there really death, or is it simply our perception of the universe that changes at that point. Similar to how we perceive the universe now differs even from person to person: baby vs adult, vision vs blind person, full memory versus Alzheimer's/dementia, alive vs dead, healthy vs unhealthy, fat vs skinny, poor vs rich, drunk vs high? Is death just another transition in your life where your perception of the universe simply changes? Our human senses (vision for example) can only see a fraction of the spectrum?
