Chapter 537 (1/2)
I don't know if Gaia is the first consciousness born in the universe, but she must be the greatest consciousness. She is our ancestor, her thinking is the source of our wisdom, and her spirit is the attachment of our will.
Allow me to briefly introduce the origin of spirit and consciousness.
Spiritual power comes from the consciousness of the universe and is based on the energy of consciousness. But in the big bang, the spiritual energy of the universe, like all matter, scattered all over the universe, and became more and more difficult to condense with the expansion of space.
The entropy of the universe has been increasing, and all micro particles and energy will tend to disorder, including mental force. When the physical universe finally dies, the spiritual universe will disappear without a trace.
Accidental entropy reduction can produce a highly ordered combination of matter or energy in the universe. At this time, we should clearly distinguish the orderly spiritual force field formed based on the fluctuation of spiritual entropy from the orderly material system formed based on the fluctuation of material entropy.
The former gives birth to consciousness, while the latter gives birth to biology.
If a creature does not have consciousness, it is only a highly ordered self circulating material system that can obtain energy from the outside to maintain low entropy. Only with consciousness can it be called life!
In other words, life feeds not only on the negative entropy of matter, but also on the negative entropy of spirit. Only when consciousness and matter are combined in the process of entropy reduction can real life be born, but this does not often happen in the universe.
Even Gaia, she can't count as a real life.
She is a pure consciousness based on the fluctuation of spiritual energy entropy. She has huge spiritual power and infinite wisdom. But we know that pure consciousness has no memory, and memory depends on the orderly arrangement of materials to carry information.
Gaia can only take the nebula as her brain and use all the materials in the nebula as her memory cells.
So she couldn't leave CAOS, the God of chaos, the nebula that gave birth to her.
Fortunately, there is a black hole in the CAOS cloud. I don't know if it was born at the same time as Gaia, but the wormhole space and gravitational tunnel in the black hole allow her to obtain spiritual energy from outside CAOS to maintain her low entropy. She doesn't need to leave CAOS so she won't lose her memory.
However, Gaia's wisdom soon discovered the fact that the universe, as an isolated system, went to heat silence. And she found that the rate of heat death in the universe is getting faster and faster.
In front of the God of death, no matter how much wisdom and strong spiritual power are useless. The huge universe is just a dying giant, which will eventually be decomposed into nothingness by microorganisms.
There must be a force to break the isolation of the universe and obtain energy from the outside of the universe in order to maintain the low entropy of the universe.
Life is born for this!
Gaia thought and came up with a way:
Let the creatures based on the negative entropy of matter obtain consciousness, connect life with Gaia's brain and obtain Gaia's wisdom. Material creatures and spiritual consciousness can make life have super self evolution ability. When the evolution of life exceeds the speed of cosmic heat death, they have the opportunity to leave their planet, travel in the long years and vast galaxies, and finally spread to the whole universe. Before the cosmic heat death, they break through the edge of the universe and break the isolation of the universe.
This is a great plan to save the universe!
