Lawrence Krauss — Is the Universe Fine-Tuned for Consciousness?

That the universe is fine-tuned for life, with multiple physical laws required to be within small ranges, is generally accepted. But can we then make the additional argument that the universe is somehow required to contain consciousness? Such a conclusion may not follow. But the key question is this: Is consciousness wholly contingent or somehow special?

If the deep laws of the universe had been ever so slightly different human beings wouldn’t, and couldn’t, exist. All explanations of this exquisite fine-tuning, obvious and not-so-obvious, have problems or complexities. Natural or supernatural, that is the question.

Sean Carroll — Why Fine-tuning Seems Designed

If all is random and our universe is the only universe, the chance existence of human awareness would seem incredible. Because the laws of physics would have to be so carefully calibrated to enable stars and planets to form and life to emerge, it would seem to require some kind of design. But there are other explanations.

Life on Mars May Be Hiding or Sleeping

Life on Mars may be hiding or dormant. See my new blog on Big Think discussing various options how life on Mars may adapt to the challenging environment. Link through my website Searchforlifeintheuniverse:

(https://www.searchforlifeintheuniverse.com/post/life-in-mars…r-sleeping)

Astrobiologist Dirk Schulze-Makuch argues that even if Mars’s surface is uninhabitable, life could persist underground, inside salt crusts, or locked in a dormant state.

Martian Dust Storms Create Electric Chemical Reactions

“This research sheds light on an important facet of modern Mars: the interaction of the atmosphere and the surface,” said Dr. Paul Byrne. [ https://www.labroots.com/trending/space/30400/martian-dust-s…eactions-2](https://www.labroots.com/trending/space/30400/martian-dust-s…eactions-2)

How does static electricity shape the surface of Mars? This is what a recent study published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters hopes to address as an international team of scientists investigated atmosphere-surface interactions on Mars, specifically regarding electrostatic discharge, or static electricity. This study has the potential to help scientists better understand atmosphere-surface interactions on planetary bodies and how this could help find life beyond Earth.

For the study, the researchers conducted a series of laboratory experiments to simulate how dust storms and dust devils on Mars could trigger the production of compounds like perchlorates and carbonates within the Martian regolith (often mistakenly called “soil”) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the atmosphere. The motivation for the study was to gain insight into how planets work, specifically regarding their geological activity.

In the end, the researchers found that static electricity from Martian dust activities are responsible for producing perchlorates and carbonates in the Martian regolith and HCl in the Martian atmosphere. The study’s results were compared with real-world data obtained from the European Space Agency’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter and NASA’s Curiosity rover for atmospheric and surface data, respectively.

We’ve covered the Xeelee Sequence multiple times on this channel. In short, The Xeelee Sequence is a series of science fiction novels and short stories by Stephen Baxter that deal with humanity as they exist in a universe dominated by the powerful and enigmatic race of Aliens known as the Xeelee. The Xeelee were more akin to gods than lifeforms.

When humankind first entered into cosmic society, we were oppressed and enslaved by multiple alien races before we found our footing. The aquatic Squeem, the amorphous Qax. We overcame them, I go in depth into this in my Timelike Infinity video and also in my Ultimate Timeline of the Xeelee Sequence video. Over many thousand of years humankind grew to dominate the milkyway, none stood stronger than us aside from the Xeelee.

When that time came, humankind was contained, our colonies throughout the milky way removed, men had no knowledge of the war that had been raging for billions of years. The Photino Birds were beings of Dark Matter, they were born at the beginning of the universe and since the beginning they have raged against the Xeelee for the soul of the cosmos. The Photino birds were creatures that existed in a sector of reality we could barely perceive. While ordinary matter formed stars, planets, and life, dark matter formed something else entirely. Vast structures. Vast ecologies. And within that hidden universe, the Photino Birds were dominant.

Their war with the Xeelee was not fought with fleets or soldiers. It was fought with the fundamental laws of physics.
