Right now I’m writing this while drinking a caramel macchiato with extra shot and listening to Amy Winehouse’s Tears Dry on Their Own.
He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I’m grown (I’m grown)
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
In the complexity of life, we’re all just a combination of atoms.
Going to work; having quality time with friends; healing from a heartbreak; struggling to pay installments, all of those are what these combinations of atoms do.
And atoms itself were created from energy: remember E = mc2.
To create just 1 gram of matter, we would need 90 trillion Joules of energy, that’s 9 with 13 zeros.
For comparison, in year 2013, humans created around 5,67 x 1020 Joules of energy, if converted to mass, we’re creating 6300 kg of mass.
So basically each of us was created by energy. Although the exact process is unknown.
14 billion years ago, the universe was born.
From pure energy, there created many elements.
These elements then combined, creating stars and planets.
And within these planets, from just elements, things combined in certain way to create life.
And then life replicated with certain very specific conditions, creating more complex organisms.
These more complex organisms then evolve and evolve, then becoming us humans.
In the next million years, who knows whether we’re still here, whether we’ll be evolved into different forms, or maybe something else replaced us entirely. After all, dinosaurs went extinct around 66 million years ago. Just imagine how long ago it was, Egypt civilization started only 5000 years ago. Even if you multiply it by 10.000 times, you’re still not yet at when dinosaurs roamed the earth. And we still now see their remnants, and ancient people called it dragons.
Don’t you find it amazing how from energy, after 10 billion years of universe age, can create us with all our problems?
