The Universe wants your partner to be hairy. :)

The Universe has a sick mind.

Where did my existence come from? Have I been existing eternally even though I wasn't aware of it prior to my physical form? Is my existence considered a "soul"? What happens to my existence after I die?

By my existence I don't mean awareness per se, but being aware of my awareness. The "me" that is conscious and that has control over this body... Why "me"? Why my consciousness? How come my consciousness picked this body?

Everybody can explain consciousness and how it is formed from chemicals in the brain and etc. But no one can explain the individual perspective that holds that consciousness.

"I" have a consciousness, this consciousness belongs to "me" and I control it, but what am "I" and where did "I" come from?

It's funny because we all are build from the same attributes (chemicals, compounds, atoms, consciousness) They're all the same just in different variations, yet we all have our own unique individual perspective.

That's a good place to get started for those questions. Your questions contain numerous assumptions. Question everything--especially your own questions.

It seem that mostly questions get asked and not so many answered so it that spirit

why do men hate cushions?

I like cushions. Just last week I bought two of them. I bought one in black and one in dark purple. :) Here, look:

are ouija boards real.... like can they really work?

Nope, they don't.

What is the true purpose of living?
a) not to hurt others
b) to become happy
c) to make others happy
d) to learn new things and share the knowledge

is the universe truly infinite?
Well, since we can't see the entire universe, we can only talk about the part we see. And that part is of course not infinite. What is beyond that we can't really say. But since the Big Bang theory is the best theory on the early stages of the universe, we can assume that it's not infinite. If it WOULD be infinite, that would mean that anything would exist any number of times. Like, you'd exist any number of times.

is there other living being on other planets?
So far there is no proof for that, but there are far more planets in the habitable zone than expected. And with billions and billions of planets in the habitable zones around their suns, it makes no sense that ours is the only one with life on it.

what's for souper?

Why does love hurt?
Love itself doesn't hurt. But it can cause feelings that hurt, like ones of loss or jealous, if you can't bond as much as you like with someone.

Introducing: the Amplituhedron!

This is so freakin' cool.

It's made those crazy Feynman diagrams obsolete, and brings us a major step closer to quantum gravity and a grand unified theory.

the new amplituhedron research suggests space-time, and therefore dimensions, may be illusory anyway.
 
I remember a week ago I was going to buy some food, a lot of things was going through my mind, I was like in a hurry for no reason. Before opening the door to go outside I have seen/imagine my roommate right there going to open the door from the outside. As I opened the door, I saw my roommate right there like two steps away from from the door. Where in the universe can I get an answer for this.:eek:
