Title: THE MEANING OF OUR EXISTENCE - (A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE ORIGIN OF OUR UNIVERSE AND OUR EXISTENCE)
Description: The Meaning of Our Existence presents an alternative perspective on the origin of the universe, challenging the conventional notion that everything came from nothing. This notion is similar to creatio ex nihilo, a theistic view that claims everything was created out of nothing by some divine creative act. In this book, we argue that what is considered as "nothing" is actually "something" known as the Substrate. 
The book explains that the universe emerged from this Substrate through processes somewhat similar to cosmic inflation and the Big Bang, proposing a more concise understanding of existence.
This book views dark energy and dark matter as the same, and are made up of repelling quanta with mass many orders of magnitude smaller than any known subatomic particle. In this book, we defend the premise that "dark" means repelling or negative mass - the opposite of attracting or positive mass. These two components make up the Substrate.
Negative masses exert a weak push against each other, but not strongly enough to result in an accelerating expansion of the universe. For the negative masses to push against each other, an external force must be applied. The acceleration of a repelling mass is in the direction of the applied force. We explain it is the centrifugal force applied to the repelling mass that prevents the stars at the outskirts of galaxies from flying away. "We claim that the universe was nucleated when a sector of the Substrate, at its absolute true vacuum state, decayed to form a local false vacuum. This process initiated the conversion of enormous amounts of potential energy into kinetic energy, leading to the ongoing expansion of the universe. If some of the released kinetic energy were not converted back into potential energy in the form of gas, dust, stars, galaxies, planets, and moons - what we refer to in this book as "potential energy storage silos" - the universe would have ended as quickly as it started.
We put forward the idea that our universe is in a metastable, false vacuum state or in motion like a cannonball rolling down a hillside toward the absolute true vacuum state - the universal ground state. In the absence of enough of such silos rolling down the hill (converting potential energy to kinetic energy), the decay is not stopped but only slowed down.
We suggested that the universe expands increasingly faster, based on a known fact that when you roll a cannonball down a gentle hillside, the ball gains speed as the ball's potential energy converts into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. The lower the ball is, the less potential energy it has. As the potential energy of the ball decreases, the ball's speed increases. In this book we will explore how this analogy applies to our understanding of the accelerated expansion of the universe.
We claim that all the recycling protocols and energy minimization schemes of the universe that we know of, are there to delay the universe's descent to the bottom of the hills: the valley, the universal ground state, the freezing cold, vibrationless, motionless, timeless, dark space from which it originated.
We assert that we, like every other living being, are another form of the recycling protocol of our universe. We exist to delay the universe's descent to true vacuum state. Non-living matter does the same; it recycles repeatedly. Stars formed after the Big Bang live until they burn out their hydrogen, then collapse and explode to form gas and dust, only to collapse again to form new stars.
In this book, we repeatedly state that everything, both animate and inanimate, is made from vibrating atoms. We argue that the motivation behind the survival instincts of living beings comes from the atoms themselves, rather than from the living (selfish, immortal) genes. This is as if atoms were aware that their immortality would end if they stopped vibrating. They would revert to the universal ground state - the cold, vibrationless, motionless, timeless, dark space, the substrate from which they originated.
We said human beings are one of the greatest achievements of the universe we live in. Indeed, if we did not exist, who would know that the universe has ever existed? If intelligent beings did not exist, the universe would be nothing but a bunch of entangled clumps of atoms, lifelessly vibrating clusters of molecules, stars, galaxies, and planets. Then we asked: Have we evolved just to witness and admire what the universe has created? Could this be the purpose of our existence?
In this book, we express our admiration for how everything around us is amazingly, sophisticatedly, and purposefully designed to function in such a way that we inevitably ask whether there is an intelligent designer and a talented builder behind it all. We question whether the universe knows what it is doing and whether there is a puppet master, an architect, and a builder behind the existence of everything. We explain that what appears to be intelligent, intricate, and amazing designs and constructions does not emanate from a conscious body or mind or from a physical or spiritual entity. The universe is not a living thing; it does not have the sophisticated cognitive abilities of humans. And we explained how.
In brief, this book integrates the existence of every living and non-living thing into one single purpose: to keep the universe existing and delay its reversion back to the universal ground state, which is the Substrate from which everything originated.
