The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 10: Life

The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 9: Boltzmann Brain Matrix

The multiverse + anthropic principle blows itself up. It doesn’t give us the universe we see, because starting with randomness leads to Bolztmann brains, to a self-generated Matrix.
— Travis Perry in Jun 2018 —

The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 8: Multiverse

The multiverse, though fodder for great speculative fiction stories, is based on a desire to explain wild improbabilities seen in the formation of the universe that should lead a person to realize there must be a Creator.

— Cap Stewart in Jun 2018 —

The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 7: The “Darks”

Dark matter, dark energy, and dark flow are three terms applied to unknown or mysterious elements of the cosmos. These “darks” reveal that scientists prefer explanations that fall in line with preconceived paradigms than explanations that don’t.

Do the metaphorical wheels of the universe turn themselves? If the universe runs “downhill,” they could. But steep hills require a motor.
