"hydrogen became sentient": ok this is stupid
The challenge now is, people reach different levels of consciousness
The highest can never be reached unless you’re Illuminated
Or if you go beyond the Sun
Hydrogen must be consciousness itself, I guess.
I want to believe there’s more, but the obvious answer is that consciousness is just the product of natural brain processes, nothing special.
Elon Musk’s input here about consciousness doesn’t reflect the reports of mystics, psychics and some meditators and other people over the centuries. Awareness is the constant presence in our consciousness. People who spend much time in contemplation and silence begin to perceive subtler aspects of Life. And do we really know that the elements on the periodic table created consciousness? I can’t say I know. If everything grows in awareness and hopefully insight, maybe we will come to comprehend what we couldn’t see before. I have seen that as we lose layers of ego over time we can become wiser and deeper in understanding. So can planets, galaxies, etc according to the what happens with the precession of the equinox.
All the respect ….
I think you should know cause we didn’t discovered yet the smallest particle and is posible to exist a lot more we don’t know yet ..and consciousness only can be what make all to be alive starting with the smallest particle we know now ….
Order proceeds from balance of:
Time
Space
Direction and,
Attention.
Sorry Elon, you chose the long, hard road.
There is no line,as there us no lone between matter znd energy also no lone between matter and life, i thought you were pretty bright,but you really struggled to explain nothing then
I really liked the way Rockeyman and how sentient showed up in the creation of this fabulous universe! ❤️
Elon Musk speaking just made me realise how atheist and scientist who doesn't believe God created the Universe, see us ( The believers ) talk about it. Cause I'm watching him say the universe started from quarks and letons, and I'm thinking "This man is saying rubbish" the atheist or the scientist might feel that way too, when they hear someone say "God created the universe"
What!!
You do know he is making this shit up people
I was just conscious and alone for ages and ages. I set forth an altered reality and then had myself inserted into it, with the parameters that I have no memory of my future existence.
I don’t know why I designed you to be such violent, hateful people. I guess the program went wrong or maybe there’s things I don’t know about. But Damn! Does there have to be constant ear ? Just say NO like Mohammad Ali. Send Sweet Lindsey Graham over there. He can spread some man-boy love
I am a cluster of vibrating atoms. Every cell in my body is replaced every 7 years.
I’m here with my puppy. He too is a cluster of atoms vibrating.
His Cluster and my cluster absolutely love each other. But there’s no God !!
He doesnt know what hes talking about. You assume he is a trillionaire so he must be talking about something beyond your comprehension but the reality is he doesnt know what hes talkinh about
I believe we are attempt of nature to understand itself, and conciousness gives everything a meaning, the world to be known
Consciousness is the mirror of nothingness
Information is fundamental.
Deconstruct any cosmic field, particle, atomic bond, or complex molecule, and you will eventually find information. Full Stop!
The storage and processing of 'information' requires energy. Energy is mass. Therefore, all information is a form of 'mass' by default.
Information is eternal. It cannot be destroyed! (Hawking Radiation)
Perhaps information is hidden within 'Strings', wave particle dualities, dark matter or dark energy. Could it be another state of 'matter'? Can the combined convergence of information develop a 'knowledge' leading to a Divine Mind? Consciousness? Higher Dimensions? Who knows!
But, the universe contains every single 'bit' of information that will ever exist — past, present, and future. The universe is made up of many trillions multiplied by many trillions of 'bits and bytes' of information.
For example: Before the very first sphere or circle came into existence . . . Pi (π) was just sitting there patiently waiting to be used for measuring its circumference, (among hundreds of other 'things').
Just pure unadulterated information . . . waiting for an 'observer' to influence and establish 'reality'.
Same is true for the Pythagoras Theorm, Newton's Laws, Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Planck's Constant, every word, every mathematical formula, RNA/DNA, and indeed . . . every other piece of information known to man including the unknown yet to be revealed into the future, (such as the fine-structure constant ≈ 1/137). We know what it does — governs atomic structure, chemistry, light interactions, etc, — but we do Not know WHY it has this specific value!
All information which 'existed' long before being unveiled and disclosed to the human mind.
A single egg and a sperm contained all the necessary information to create an 'Albert Einstein' including everything to develop his genius mind.
Every conceivable thing including every mental thought is reducible down to basic information.
Information created the 'Inflation'.
The Big Bang . . . simply released it!
AND . . .
'SPACE-TIME' INSTANTLY BECAME THE FIRST OBSERVER!
It's not complicated!
He could know better😢
It is fascinating to listen to this perspective — one can genuinely learn a great deal from it.
That said, several fundamental issues require a far more critical and integrated examination.
First, consciousness is not a single, unified phenomenon.
It is an autoreferential network composed of self-awareness, autobiographical memory, mentalization, and empathy. Treating consciousness as a simple or linear function severely distorts our understanding of cognition and evolution.
Second, modern science commits a serious error through excessive fragmentation.
Specialization offers depth, but without synthesis it produces intellectual isolation. Biology, neuroscience, psychology, physics, and astrobiology are not separate realities — they are different perspectives observing the same unified system. Reality itself is not divided; our frameworks are.
Another overlooked factor is chronic stress.
Humans were not biologically equipped with natural weapons, physical strength, strong immunity, or reliable instincts. This placed early humans in a state of constant existential threat.
Prolonged stress leads to sustained cortisol release. While adaptive in the short term, chronic cortisol exposure degrades neural systems — particularly the hippocampus, which is essential for memory, learning, and higher cognitive integration. A species living under continuous predatory pressure would struggle to develop stable consciousness or long-term cognitive coherence.
This deepens the evolutionary paradox.
Why would nature select a physically fragile species — slower, weaker, and poorly defended — yet allow it to develop extreme intelligence? Cooperation alone does not fully explain how such persistent stress would permit advanced cognitive evolution.
More critically, if nature produces beings capable of large-scale self-destruction — nuclear weapons, industrial warfare, and planetary collapse — then what we call “intelligence” may not represent evolutionary improvement at all. It may represent a trajectory toward total self-annihilation.
An intelligence that threatens the survival of the entire biosphere is not adaptive intelligence.
It is unstable intelligence.
This forces a deeper question:
What do we actually mean by evolution?
What is the direction — toward higher integration and consciousness, or toward total destruction?
Humanity has never before possessed technology of this magnitude.
For the first time, a single species holds the power to irreversibly damage or erase life on this planet. The coming years will determine whether we can psychologically and ethically survive our own technological capacity — or whether we will destroy ourselves through it.
For this reason, sentimentality about biology is misplaced.
What is needed is sober, holistic, and unsparing realism — one that integrates neurology, psychology, environment, ethics, and evolution into a coherent understanding of where humanity truly stands.
It's just an evolution of finding food…from multicellular living things since we started exploring energy for growth and multiplication….it started taking steps towards energy that was the first step of consciousness
we are eternal beings we existed before this universe. This universe revolves around time that's why we die that's why stars die black holes even collapse everything in this universe experiences death we humans are not from this universe we where placed in it precisely they can run around in circles all day but fail to answer probability of us living in a safe position perfect for our living condition And then add the fact we can perceive the universe something from this realm shouldn't be able to have the ability to perceive its reality its like rock being aware of its presence and looking in the mirror and seeing its self. we are able to do this because we are not from here. dimensions work in a way where higher dimensions have the ability to enter lower dimensions. our consciousness creates different dimensions in our sleep naturally we jump from dreams like we are switching a channel. Im not claiming this is true this is just the best way i can explain what is possibly going on the big bang is not the start it was just the start of time what probably happened was spill from the eternal realm entered a blank canvas
God placed us here. Only he can create that safe location in the universe for humans to live comfortable that's why they call earth the lowest heaven its a heaven bc its to perfect to just call a system of planets it contains purpose.
Consciousness came from god its a form of communication with our higher self our state of being in the eternal realm. so we are dead in between the eternal realm and the finite realm and our brains is the engine that makes that's connection that is why we dream and the more you master your ability to lucid dream you will realize a close version of your natural state of being you experience No limitations physical limitations.
Now you might ask WHY US only GOD knows Humans are given intellect but there will always be a WE DONT KNOW bc knowledge comes great responsibility and often GOD protects us from our self for that reason it is scientifically proven that the reality we perceive is limited we don't see every color of light and our eyes sight is flipped.
OMG, how stupid is he?
