The truth that Garen spoke of is as follows:

Two years ago in the summer, while managing the business of Redeemlola Company and its foundation, Jeremiah came across many fresh and peculiar scientific research projects.

Among those fresh and peculiar scientific research projects, several were included: the first was the discovery by Professor Sethi from New Delhi, India, of a unique teenager named Raj with special abilities and physiques. The second is that Sabrin, a geologist in the Romanov, discovered mysterious fast radio bursts in the Lap Nar, suspected to be a radiation signals emitted by extraterrestrial beings (the frequency and wavelength of fast radio bursts were very similar to the special electromagnetic waves released by Raj's body). Third, Professor Doudna from San Jose Technology University proposed the idea of using gene editing technology and transfection to gradually evolve humans into a more perfect "new species". Fourth, Japanese scientist Ito Kenichi has invented wormhole transmission technology that can travel through the space-time and was currently try to escape from Tokyo to the United States.

At first, although Jeremiah was quite interested in these projects and paid them a lot of attention, he only viewed them as individual events and did not link them together to discover their relevance.

Later, by chance, Jeremiah learned some knowledge about the "I Ching" and the Eight Trigrams through a TV program, and was inspired by this knowledge to connect all the events together in his mind, "realizing" a set of ideas and theories regarding the operation of the universe and the meaning of life. (He called the process of forming these theories "awakening").

(Note: some knowledge about the "I Ching" and the Eight Trigrams: the main content of The I Ching is sixty-four symbolic symbols called "Gua", as well as the names and texts corresponding to each "Gua". Therefore, the essence of The I Ching is the eight trigrams formed by the "Gua". In the eyes of the ancients, the eight trigrams symbolized the changes and cycles of the world, and all things in the world could be classified into the eight trigrams. They often used the eight trigrams to explain various phenomena and things encountered in life. It can be said that in the "universe" they can understand, the eight trigrams are the mark of the entire "universe", reflecting the laws of the operation of the "universe".

In fact, this kind of thinking of the ancients is not groundless, but has a mature theory. The core idea of this theory comes from a sentence in Confucius's work " Yizhuan " (a book that annotates The I Ching) which states: "The Yi has the Taiji (the Supreme Ultimate), which engenders two forms (Yin and Yang). These two forms engender four images, and the four images engender the eight trigrams." This sentence means that at the beginning of the universe, it was in a state of extreme chaos, which was called "Taiji". Later, this state changed and produced two basic elements, "Yin" and "Yang", which are called "two forms". These two elements are not only opposed to each other, but also dependent on each other, and transform each other, thus combining to derive everything in the universe and governing the changes of the universe. That is to say, everything we encounter in the world, every event we experience, is influenced and controlled by "Yin" and "Yang". Therefore, the ancients believed that as long as they could understand the laws of the changes of "Yin" and "Yang", they could unlock all the mysteries of the world. The eight trigrams use simple symbolic imagery to illustrate the entire process of the changes between "Yin" and "Yang", which is the key to finding this "Yin-Yang" law.

Corresponding to the above theory, we can see that the entire eight trigrams are composed of two basic symbols. These two symbols are called "Yin and Yang lines", which respectively represent "Yin" and "Yang". The "Qian" trigram composed of three "Yang lines" is the starting point of the eight trigrams, representing the extreme of "Yang". Then, the power of "Yang" gradually fades and the power of "Yin" gradually increases, gradually evolving into the "Dui", "Li", and "Zhen" trigrams, which are composed of "Yang lines" and "Yin lines" intertwined. Then, the power of "Yang" completely disappears, reaching the extreme of "Yin", that is, the "Kun" trigram composed of three "Yin lines". Then, it is the turn of the power of "Yin" to gradually decrease and the power of "Yang" to gradually increase, gradually evolving into the "Gen", "Kan", and "Xun" trigrams, which are composed of "Yin lines" and "Yang lines" intertwined. Finally, the power of "Yin" disappears completely, reaching the extreme of "Yang" and returning to the starting point "Qian" trigram. Therefore, the whole process forms a closed cycle, endless, without beginning and no end......)

After the "awakening", Jeremiah believed that the Taiji Eight Diagrams visually displayed several basic and objective laws of the universe's workings to the world. All existence and changes in the universe follow these laws.

The first law is the duality of YIN and Yang. Everything in the universe has two opposing existences, the "YIN" and the "Yang". For example, there is gravity and there is repulsion; there is positive charge and there is negative charge; there is expansion and there is contraction; there is fullness and there is emptiness; there is cold and there is heat; there is light and there is darkness; there is female and there is male; there is joy and there is sadness; there is growth and there is decline; there is life and there is death. As recorded in the Tao Te Ching, " The created universe carries the YIN at its back and the Yang in front; Through the union of the pervading principles, it reaches harmony. "

The second law is the mutual dependence and cyclicality of YIN and Yang. Although the two opposing existences have opposition, they are interdependent and interconnected. They coexist in a unified system and have mutual dependence. With their increase and decrease, the system they are in often undergoes cyclic and repetitive changes. For example, Intermolecular forces can be divided into attractive forces and repulsive forces. Their changes affect the aggregation and morphology of matter (solid, liquid, and gas). For example, the transformation of water vapor into water and then into ice is a cyclic change, accompanied by the strength change of attractive forces and repulsive forces of water molecules. In chemical reactions, the positive charges and negative charges carried by ions affect the combination and remodeling of matter through changes (increases and decreases) in valence. Another example is the rise and fall of luck, which affects the ups and downs of fate; The joy and sorrow of the mood reflect the ups and downs of emotions; The life and death of living beings constitute the endless cycle of life. As recorded in the Tao Te Ching, "The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return.

They grow and flourish and then return to the source. "

The third law is the reversal of things when they reach their extreme point. All changes and developments in the universe have a certain limit. When they approach or reach this limit, there is often an internal restraining force within the system that causes them to change and develop in the opposite direction. For example, in the universe, the maximum temperature is the Planck temperature (the temperature at the moment of the Big Bang, which can reach 33 digits, when particles move at the speed of light), and the minimum temperature is absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius, when particles stop moving and have no kinetic energy). When the temperature reaches the Planck temperature, it can only decrease and cannot increase further, because constrained by the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, particles cannot move faster than light. When the temperature approaches absolute zero, it can only increase and cannot decrease further, because constrained by the laws of thermodynamics and quantum mechanics, particles cannot completely stop thermal motion. In addition, in the polar regions of the Earth (the Antarctic Circle and the Arctic Circle), there are phenomena of polar day (the sun never sets, and the sky is always bright, always daytime) and polar night (the sun never rises, and the sky is always dark, always nighttime). When the polar day phenomenon occurs, due to the Earth's rotation around the sun and the obliquity of the ecliptic, the daylight in the polar circle will gradually shorten, and the night will gradually lengthen. When the polar night phenomenon occurs, due to the Earth's rotation around the sun and the obliquity of the ecliptic, the daylight in the polar circle will gradually lengthen, and the night will gradually shorten. As recorded in the Tao Te Ching, "To yield is to be preserved whole. To be bent is to become straight. To be hollow is to be filled. To be tattered is to be renewed. To be in want is to possess. To have plenty is to be confused."

The fourth law is the contingency and necessity of "phase" (state). The "phase" of things is variable, and a particular "phase" presented by things in a certain time and space is a probability event with contingency. However, the various "phases" that things possess are necessary components of the system and trend in which things exist, their existence is necessary, and their overall change rules are determined. For example, ancient Chinese people liked to use the Eight Diagrams for divination. When they divined (drew lots), whether a specific person could draw the "Qian Diagram", which is representing great fortune and luck, from the Eight Diagrams was a probability event (one in eight chances). However, it was necessary for the "Qian Diagram" to exist as a component of the system of the "Eight Diagrams" in the drawing tube, and "due to many people constantly divining (drawing lots), someone will inevitably be lucky enough to draw the 'Qian Diagram'," which is a deterministic event. Similarly, when a drop of dye is dropped into water and dissolved, it is difficult to predict which direction each dye molecule will move in, which is contingent. However, the overall movement of all dye molecules must be diffusion in an irregular manner, which is a deterministic event. Moreover, in the microscopic world, it is a very low probability event for a certain particle to undergo quantum tunneling effect at a particular moment (the quantum behavior of particles entering or passing through potential barriers, which can be simply understood as particles, like ghosts, passing through a "thick wall" blocking them). However, the existence of quantum tunneling as a phenomenon is deterministic, "any microscopic system must have particles undergoing quantum tunneling effects," which is a deterministic event.

Afterwards, based on the above-mentioned laws and combining various theories such as the Big Bang theory, inflation theory, the theory of Hawking radiation, the No Boundary Proposal, the Conformal Cyclic Cosmology of Roger Penrose, the Quantum Creation, Jeremiah build a theoretical model of the operation of the universe with his own insights.

(Note: The Big Bang theory holds that before the birth of the universe 13.7 billion years ago, there was a singularity, a point of infinite density, temperature, and space-time curvature, which is known as the "singularity." All known physical laws fail at the singularity. The universe was formed by a big bang from the singularity and is still expanding. Observational data such as the redshift of galaxies observed by the Hubble telescope, precise measurements of cosmic microwave background radiation, and the abundance of light elements in the universe all support the Big Bang theory and are important evidence to confirm it.

The inflation theory is a "patch" for the Big Bang theory. It holds that at the beginning of the universe, space expanded exponentially. This rapid expansion process is called "inflation," which means that the universe expanded at an astonishing rate during a very short period of time. According to this theory, inflation occurred between 10^-36 seconds and 10^-32 seconds after the Big Bang. After inflation, the universe continued to expand, but at a much slower rate.

Due to the expansion of space, the universe became very flat, with space curvature close to zero, and made the temperature of the entire universe uniform. Quantum fluctuations during inflation caused slight temperature differences in the universe, which created conditions for the formation of stars and galaxies in the future. In addition, inflation can also reduce the density of massive exotic particles, such as magnetic monopoles predicted by many derived theories of particle physics standard model. Therefore, the inflation theory can explain the three difficulties of the Big Bang theory: the isotropy of space, the flatness of observable universe, and the disappearance of magnetic monopoles.

The Big Bang theory and the inflation theory together describe the birth and formation process of the universe. According to these two theories, the birth and formation process of the universe went through several stages, which are:

(1) Planck time (10^-43 seconds after the Big Bang): The earliest period of the universe after its birth, when the temperature was extremely high, high enough to merge the four fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetic force, weak force, and strong force) into one basic force - superforce. All known physical and mathematical laws fail. There is no matter or radiation in the universe.

(2) Grand Unification Era (10^-43 seconds to 10^-36 seconds after the Big Bang): As the universe cools (although the temperature is still very high), gravity begins to separate from other forces (electromagnetic force, weak force, and strong force). During this period, matter and energy can freely convert with each other.

(3) Inflationary Era (10^-36 seconds to 10^-32 seconds after the Big Bang): The size of the universe expands by a factor of 10^26, equivalent to a grain of sand expanding to the size of the observable universe. As the universe further cools, the strong force begins to separate from other forces (electromagnetic force, weak force). After a brief period of inflation, the inherent energy of space itself gradually transforms into various particles and radiation.

(4) Quark Era (10^-32 seconds to 10^-12 seconds after the Big Bang): The universe becomes a particle soup, with a large number of quark-antiquark particles appearing from energy and then annihilating into energy again. Gluons, gravitons, Higgs bosons, and other particles also appear during this period.

(5) Particle Era (1 second to 10^-12 seconds after the Big Bang): The universe became cold enough for the electroweak force to separate into the electromagnetic force and the weak force, which means that the electromagnetic force and the weak force separated from each other. All four fundamental forces appeared, and the laws of physics and forces in the universe were similar to those today. Quarks (and antiquarks) gathered together under the strong force, forming protons and neutrons (and antiprotons and antineutrons). Bosons, neutrinos, electrons, quarks, and gluons stabilized during this period.

Afterwards, protons and antiprotons collided and annihilated. Due to the slight advantage of normal matter over antimatter, almost all antimatter (antiparticles) was annihilated, while a small amount of normal matter (particles) remained and provided the origin for most of the matter in our universe today.

(6) Nucleosynthesis Era (1 second to three minutes after the Big Bang): As the universe continued to cool, the strong force was strong enough to bind protons and neutrons, forming stable atomic nuclei such as hydrogen and helium (nucleosynthesis). However, the energy of electrons was still too high to combine with atomic nuclei, so neutral atoms could not yet form.

(7) Atomic Era (300,000 years after the Big Bang): As the universe temperature further decreased, protons and atomic nuclei began to capture electrons, forming the first neutral atoms. Electrons were trapped in atomic nuclei and could no longer scatter photons. Matter and radiation "decoupled" from each other. Photons began to propagate through the universe in the form of radiation, and the universe became transparent. The universe, dominated by radiation, transformed into a universe dominated by matter.

(8) Stellar Era (200 million years to 30 billion years after the Big Bang): A large number of hydrogen atoms gathered together under gravity. The more hydrogen atoms, the greater the mass, and the greater the gravity, which in turn attracted more hydrogen atoms. Finally, at a certain moment, hydrogen underwent nuclear fusion under the enormous pressure brought by gravity, giving birth to stars and lighting up the universe. After the birth of stars, the surrounding matter gradually gathered to form planets or satellites, forming stellar systems, and then numerous stellar systems converged into galaxies.

(9) Dark Energy Era (about 5 billion years ago): With the continuous expansion of the universe space, the density of dark matter and matter continued to decrease, and dark energy began to replace dark matter and matter as the dominant force in the universe. The expansion of the universe space stopped decelerating and began to accelerate. Dark matter and dark energy do not absorb, reflect, or radiate light, so humans cannot observe them directly with existing technology. Dark matter produces universal gravity, while dark energy produces repulsive force. The larger the space of the universe, the more obvious the dark energy, and the greater the repulsive force it produces. This repulsive force drives the continuous expansion of the universe.

The Hawking Radiation Theory suggests that although black holes are like monsters that constantly devour the matter around them, and causing their own mass to increase, and the expanding boundary (event horizon) caused by the increasing mass will also cause them to consume even more matter, the expansion and consumption of black holes is not infinite. In fact, black holes lose mass due to Hawking radiation, eventually evaporating completely.

The so-called "Hawking radiation" is a kind of thermal radiation emitted by black holes speculated by quantum effect theory. According to the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, absolute vacuum does not exist, and the energy of the vacuum field cannot always be zero. Therefore, what we think of as vacuum is actually constantly producing virtual particle pairs, and two virtual particle pairs collide and quickly annihilate. This phenomenon is called "quantum fluctuation," which does not violate quantum mechanics or energy conservation.

When vacuum quantum fluctuations are applied to extremely curved spacetime, such as near the event horizon of a black hole, a miraculous thing happens. Randomly generated virtual particle pairs may be separated by the strong tidal force of the black hole before annihilation, and when their separation distance reaches the wavelength of the virtual particles, the virtual particles will transform into real particles. However, when two virtual particles simultaneously transform into real particles, based on energy conservation, one of them will have positive energy, and the other will have negative energy, to ensure that the total energy is always zero. Negative energy particles cannot exist in normal spacetime outside the event horizon, so what is produced outside the event horizon of a black hole must be positive energy real particles, while the particles swallowed by the black hole within the event horizon must be negative energy. After the black hole swallows negative energy particles, its mass decreases, and positive energy real particles outside the event horizon escape from the black hole in the form of radiation, which is "Hawking radiation." Under this mechanism, black holes continue to "evaporate," their mass becomes smaller and smaller, their temperature becomes higher and higher, and the radiation intensity becomes stronger and stronger, until they finally disappear in a violent radiation explosion. This is the end of a black hole.

No Boundary Proposal is a self-consistent and self-contained cosmology proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking. This theory believes that the boundary condition of the universe is that it has no boundary, and everything in the universe can be predicted by physical laws alone. The universe itself came from nothing (in the quantum sense) or had no origin (in the classical sense). If the theory of boundaryless conditions is true, it means that the universe is self-sufficient, which implies that the universe does not need a creator God or a first mover.

Hawking used Euclidean quantum gravity to describe the origin of the universe. In this model, the real time that we are familiar with and can perceive is replaced by a virtual time like the fourth dimension of space. According to Euclidean methodology, the history of the virtual time universe is like a four-dimensional sphere similar to the surface of the Earth (but with two more dimensions). That is, like the surface of the Earth, Euclidean spacetime is an endless closed surface. In this model, the singularity of the universe is like the South Pole of the Earth. Therefore, just as there is "nothing south of the South Pole of the Earth," there was also nothing before the singularity of the universe.

Conformal cyclic cosmology is a theory proposed by physicist Roger Penrose. This theory suggests that the universe does not have only one big bang, but rather cycles through "aeons" of birth and death. An aeon is the "lifecycle" of the universe between two big bangs. After the big bang, the universe will not continue to expand forever. When all black holes in the universe evaporate through Hawking radiation, all mass in the universe will decay into radiation (i.e., all matter will transform into energy), and the state of the universe will look almost identical to that at the time of the big bang. Through a mathematical transformation called "conformal transformation," the infinite future of the universe can be connected to the infinite small singularity of the big bang. In this way, the universe cycles from one aeon to the next.

Penrose believes that the universe has been following the second law of thermodynamics - the law of increasing entropy - from its beginning to its end. The universe had the lowest entropy value before the singularity of the big bang. After the big bang, entropy began to increase continuously. As entropy increases, the universe becomes more and more unstable. When the entropy value of the universe reaches its maximum and approaches infinity, celestial bodies begin to gradually collapse, and black holes continue to grow and consume all matter, transforming it into energy. Entropy decreases slowly as this process occurs. Finally, when all black holes evaporate, the entire universe becomes a pure energy space, and entropy is completely cleared. Then, the energy space collapses into a singularity state, and a new big bang occurs, and a new universe begins to expand and evolve.

Quantum creation theory is a theory proposed by cosmologist Andrei Linde. This theory suggests that the universe can be spontaneously created based on quantum mechanisms. In quantum theory, there is a principle that pairs of particles can spontaneously and briefly appear from empty space ("quantum fluctuation" phenomenon). Based on this vacuum quantum fluctuation phenomenon, Linde proposed a quantum mechanism that can create an expanding universe from a state of no time, no space, and no matter. (The principle of this mechanism is to use quantum rules to create tiny bubbles with momentum in empty space, and momentum will cause them to expand to the size of the universe.) Therefore, Linde believes that there was nothing before the singularity of the big bang, and the universe was created from nothing through quantum fluctuations.)

In Jeremiah's theory of the operation of the universe, he believes that, according to the law of the duality of YIN and Yang, since everything in the universe has YIN and Yang elements, there must be some most primitive, fundamental, and basic YIN and Yang elements in the universe. Just as the Eight Diagrams is composed of "YIN" and "Yang" - the two most basic symbols combined in a series of ways, the universe should also be composed of two most basic YIN and Yang elements. Jeremiah believes that these most basic YIN and Yang elements are energy and matter.

Energy and matter, one is an intangible "substance," and the other is a tangible "substance," and they together constitute all "existences" in the universe. They are opposites, which are reflected in the opposition between "intangible" and "tangible." At the same time, energy and matter have mutual dependence. This mutual dependence is reflected in two aspects. On the one hand, energy and matter can be converted into each other. Physicist Einstein proposed the famous mass-energy equivalence E = mc² in his theory of special relativity, which precisely explains the conversion relationship between matter and energy in mathematical form. In reality, an example of matter being converted into energy is that the stars in the universe are constantly converting their own matter into intense electromagnetic radiation energy through nuclear fusion, releasing it into outer space. An example of energy being converted into matter is that scientists have successfully created a pair of electron pairs in the laboratory through letting high-energy gamma rays to pass through atomic nuclei at close range, converting gamma ray photons into a positron and a negative electron. On the other hand, the microscopic particles that make up matter have wave-particle duality. Similarly, as a representative of energy, electromagnetic waves (including light) also have wave-particle duality. Both will exhibit "tangible" particle properties under certain conditions, while also exhibiting "intangible" wave-like properties under other conditions. Therefore, they are essentially the same.

Next, based on the law of the cyclicality of YIN and Yang and the law of the reversal of extremes, Jeremiah inferred that just as the Eight Diagrams is an endless, self-sustaining cycle system, the universe is also a self-contained, cyclical system. The cycle of the universe is driven by the alternating prosperity and decline of energy and matter within it. That is, the state of the universe will undergo periodic changes with the increase or decrease of energy and matter in the universe. When the energy or matter in the universe reaches its extreme, it will be transformed in the opposite direction (materialization or energization) under the influence of some physical laws, and a new trend of development will begin until it reaches another extreme.

Subsequently, based on this inference, Jeremiah further deduced the theoretical model of the operation of the universe, which is: at the very beginning, the universe was in a state of extreme energy. In this state, there was no matter in the universe, only pure energy, and it was energy with extremely high density and strength. It is represented by the singularity described in the "Big Bang Theory" - a point with infinite density, pressure, heat, temperature, space-time curvature, and infinitely small volume. Then, the singularity "exploded", and the extreme energy began to be converted into matter. From the Plank time after the Big Bang to the stellar period (including the unified period, inflationary period, quark period, particle period, nucleon period, and atomic period), the universe would undergo a long and continuous process of converting a large amount of its own energy into a large amount of matter. By the stellar era, the universe reached a state of extreme matter. In this state, the universe was filled with a large amount of matter (stars and galaxies), and matter occupied the dominant position in the universe, while energy still existed in the universe but was much less dense than matter. Afterwards, the extreme matter began to be converted into energy, and correspondingly, the universe entered the dark energy era. In the dark energy era, the universe changed from an expansion-deceleration state to an expansion-acceleration state. As the universe continued to expand, the density of both matter and energy decreased, but the rate of decrease in matter density was much greater than that of energy density. At the same time, stars kept collapsing into black holes, which expanded frantically, devouring the surrounding matter and celestial bodies (including white dwarfs and neutron stars formed by the collapse of stars), and eventually evaporating all their own matter as energy through Hawking radiation, releasing it into the universe. Gradually, all stars and galaxies would disappear completely, turning into Hawking radiation and filling the expanding universe, and the density of energy in the universe would become much greater than that of matter, thus occupied the dominant position. In the end, the universe would have almost no matter, only energy (including dark energy) constantly shuttling and interweaving in the vast and boundless space of the universe, filling every corner of the universe (but the energy density at this time is not high). After that, under the influence of quantum mechanisms, a point in space in the universe underwent an unprecedented violent quantum fluctuation with an extremely small probability. At this point, it not only "borrowed" strong energy from the vacuum but also "borrowed" all the energy of the entire universe, eventually converging into a point with infinite density and energy intensity - that is, a new "singularity" was born. Thus, the cycle returned to the very beginning, and a new cycle would restart with the big bang of the new "singularity." The universe is constantly going back and forth in this cycle, endlessly repeating...

This, is the theoretical model of the operation of the universe that Jeremiah envisioned.

Jeremiah referred to this theoretical model of the operation of the universe as the " Great Tao" cosmological theory, because it corresponds to the "Tao Te Ching" which states: " Before the Heaven and Earth existed, there was something nebulous: silent, isolated, standing alone, changing not, eternally revolving without fail, worthy to be the mother of all things. I do not know its name and address it as Tao. If forced to give it a name, I shall call it "Great."

In the " Great Tao" cosmological theory, most of the ideas can be explained by existing scientific theories. But there is only one question that existing scientific theories cannot solve. This question is, there are a large number of rogue planets in the universe, and how are these rogue planets converted into energy?

Rogue planets, also known as orphan planets free-floating planets, are planets that do not orbit any star and drift through galaxies alone. Although these planets are not part of a planetary system and do not orbit a star, they have the mass, volume, and energy characteristics of normal planets. They are either thrown out of their original planetary system due to the gravitational influence of other celestial bodies or ejected during the formation of a planetary system. It is estimated that the number of Jupiter-sized rogue planets in the Milky Way alone is about twice as many as stars.

Since these rogue planets do not orbit celestial bodies, and the boundaries (“event horizon”) of black holes formed by stellar collapse are limited, these rogue planets are unlikely to be "evaporated" into energy by black holes. Instead, they will continue to exist in their original (material) state and continue to drift and wander in the universe as it continues to expand.

However, according to the speculation of the " Great Tao" cosmological theory, the universe will eventually convert all of its matter into energy at some point. If rogue planets cannot be converted into energy, then this clearly contradicts this speculation, which means that the " Great Tao" cosmological theory is logically flawed. Therefore, whether rogue planets can be converted into energy is a crucial question in demonstrating the rationality of the " Great Tao" cosmological theory.

Regarding this issue, Jeremiah believes that rogue planets will eventually be converted into energy. An important factor that promotes the conversion of rogue planets is the role of living beings.

About 4.6 billion years ago, a small piece of a huge molecular gas cloud in the Milky Way underwent gravitational collapse and formed the primitive solar system. Some of the gas and dust clouds in the primitive solar system coalesced to form the earliest Earth.

At the beginning of its existence, the Earth was barren, turbulent, and had an extremely harsh environment. There was no structurally complex matter or life on Earth at that time.

According to the theory of chemical evolution, life gradually began to develop after the appearance of the primitive atmosphere on Earth. Its birth is closely related to the primitive atmosphere. In the early Earth, volcanic eruptions were very frequent. With these eruptions, some gases were continuously released from the Earth's interior, forming the primitive atmosphere. Over time, the amount of water vapor in the primitive atmosphere increased, and the surface temperature of the Earth began to decrease. Later, when the temperature dropped below the boiling point of water, the water vapor turned into pouring rain and fell to the ground day and night, forming the earliest oceans and preparing the necessary foundation for the birth of life.

It is speculated that the main components of the primitive atmosphere were carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and ammonia. These were originally simple gas molecules. However, under the strong energy released by cosmic rays, lightning, volcanic eruptions, and other activities, these simple gas molecules "accidentally" synthesized structurally complex organic molecules such as amino acid molecules and nucleotide molecules.

Amino acids and nucleotides are the two most important organic small molecules that are commonly found in living organisms. They are the bricks and stones that build the building of life. On the early Earth, naturally synthesized amino acids and nucleotides gathered in lakes and oceans with rainwater. After years of accumulation, they continuously contacted each other, and under appropriate conditions (such as the adsorption of clay), they formed more complex biological macromolecules through condensation or polymerization, namely primitive protein molecules and nucleic acid molecules. Later, in the following hundreds of millions of years, primitive protein molecules and nucleic acid molecules "accidentally" combined into structurally complex organic polymeric systems, and eventually evolved into primitive life, giving birth to the first cells on Earth.

Since the birth of the first prokaryotic microorganisms (primitive single-celled organisms), life has embarked on a long path of evolution. The evolution of life has always followed the trend from simple to complex, from low to high, going through the process of evolving from prokaryotes to eukaryotic single-celled organisms, and then developing in different directions, giving rise to the fungi, plant, and animal kingdom. Among them, the animal kingdom evolved from primitive flagellates to multicellular animals, from primitive multicellular animals to those with a notochord, and then evolved into higher chordates — vertebrates. Fish in vertebrates evolved into amphibians and reptiles, splitting into mammals and birds. One branch of mammals further developed into highly intelligent creatures - humans.

Later, relied on their unique high intelligence, humans accumulated and mastered the ability to transform the natural environment through continuous learning and practice, making their lives more comfortable and advantageous for reproduction, and ultimately becoming the dominant species on Earth.

After thousands of years of civilization development, humans now possess highly advanced scientific and technological capabilities that enable them to move mountains and fill seas with giant engineering machinery, extract deep-sea energy with drilling platforms, explore vast space with rockets, satellites, and spacecraft, solve problems with artificial intelligence, replace human labor with robots, generate endless energy and manufacture weapons of mass destruction with nuclear technology, resist diseases and change life status with biotechnology, and traverse time and space with wormhole transmission technology. There is no doubt that modern humans have completely dominated the Earth.

However, this is not the end of biological development. The human species is still evolving, with individual genetic mutations occurring and even "new type of humans" capable of internal nuclear fusion emerging. At the same time, humans have stepped out of Earth and into the vast universe, actively searching for extraterrestrial civilizations. Humans have already discovered low-intelligence beings, the Lap Nar aliens, who are also capable of internal nuclear fusion. As the search for extraterrestrial civilizations continues, it will inevitably discover more and more extraterrestrial life forms, colliding and blending with them.

Looking back, throughout the entire history of the development of life on Earth, the birth and evolution of life seems to have had extremely lucky "accidents" and "unexpected events", which miraculously occurred at probabilities of one in a billion, or even one in a trillion.

So, is the appearance of life in the universe really just a coincidence? Is the evolution of life from primitive microorganisms to highly civilized humans, and then to species capable of internal nuclear fusion, purely accidental?

Jeremiah's view is that the appearance of life, seemingly accidental, is actually necessary, a necessary result and link in the process of the universe's cycle. Similarly, the evolution of life into higher intelligent species and species capable of internal nuclear fusion is also a necessary result and link in the process of the universe's cycle. The existence of life is not only meaningful but also significant for the universe because they shoulder a sacred mission, which is to allow those rogue planets that cannot undergo energy conversion through their own mechanisms to complete energy conversion.

The logic is as follows: because the appearance of life is inevitable and the evolution of highly intelligent species is inevitable, there must be highly intelligent species that, with their technology and civilization, invent wormhole transmission technology and master interstellar travel. When living beings master interstellar trave, they will eventually use it to successfully land on those resource-rich but unreachable rogue planets for the purpose of reproduction and development.

At the same time, because living beings will inevitably evolve species that rely on internal nuclear fusion to obtain survival energy (such as the Lap Nar aliens), these species, for survival needs, will continuously absorb matter from the planet they inhabit. Then, through internal nuclear fusion, they convert the absorbed matter into energy, some of which is used for their survival and activities, while the excess is released into outer space.

Therefore, when highly intelligent species that have mastered interstellar travel and the species that rely on internal nuclear fusion merge to form a new species, this new species will use interstellar travel to migrate between stars driven by a strong desire to absorb matter, landing on those rogue planets to search for material resources, consuming all the matter of the rogue planets as their "food," ultimately converting everything into energy and releasing it into the universe. After the planetary matter is exhausted, the new species can only consume each other to obtain matter, and finally, even their own "flesh" will be converted into energy and completely destroyed.

Only when this process is fully realized, can the energy conversion of the universe be completed, and the cycle of the universe can continue. Therefore, life exists for the energy conversion of the universe. In the end, it will also perish. This is the mission of life.

When the next new cycle of the universe begins, life will once again be born on certain planets under various new "accidental" factors, and then once again evolve into highly intelligent species and species capable of internal nuclear fusion. However, at that time, these species' forms may not be like humans and the Lap Nar aliens, but presented in other forms. After completing their mission of planetary energy conversion, they will return to extinction, waiting for the arrival of another new cycle. In this way, life accompanies one cycle after another of the universe, undergoing a process of birth-evolution-extinction, constantly repeating...

The above is Jeremiah 's view on the meaning and role of living beings.
