Story of the Universe
Here is what my conclusion is on the entire story of the Universe.
The start of life. The End. The Meaning of life.

Existence is just infinite dead space.
It has no beginning and no end.
Its infinity (a loop).
Every piece of space is made up of Matter.
This matter can be 1 of 3 states.
Call it:
•One
•The other
•or Both
(See note 1 at end)
You could call them for or example:
•0
•1
•or say '●' (or whatever symbol) for Both.
-------
Think of these 3 states later
(See Note 2)
-------
Matter is everywhere randomly and makes up existance.
All we have been told is, life started with The big bang.
A Big bang wasnt the start, but it also was.
It loops.
It was the result of matter randomly clumping together and thus becoming unstable (See Note 3).
When a clump gets massive enough, it collapses and rebounds, that rebound is our Big Bang, which creates the physics and laws for this 'pocket' or part of the Universe.
__________________ Chapter 2.
Pocket Universes
__________________
Pocket universes can form in the infinate dead space due to these big bangs happening, but it must occur in dead space before the big bang, and each create the laws for that universe (Just like weather can be different on our planet)
In the big dead space we could have multiple universes in these big bangs spread out throught the vast empty dead space.
The concept of a beginning or end, is only a concept in our big bang (universe) we ocupy which created our laws and physics, space and time etc.
It's why you can't say whats the start and end of everything (basically the opposite to nothingness, existance)
(See note 4)

(See Note 5) for black holes)

The "beginning" (not the big bang).
Everything in this "pocket universe or space our big bang occupies" runs on energy from the big bang itself, which create loads of suns and debris (planets and moons around it).(think like a glowing embers different sizes after an explosion fizzling out) at a huge scale relative to us.
It happens fast at its correct scale, but slow for us due to being microscopic in relevance to the scale, so this process lasts lightyears to us in our universes concpet of time.
All enegry comes from this bang and is slowly dying/fading out until it happens again

Life.
Conciousness.
__________________
All life after a big bang is ultimately solar-powered patterns reacting to other patterns, taking forms of the environment.
You have X 'thing', reacting to Y 'energy'
Life started as the simplest reactive loop:
X triggers Y, Y feeds back into X - the first self-sustaining program (its the most basic computer program).
Its a basic feedback logic program
Y reacts to X
Y Feedsback into > X.
A feedback loop.
Over time these loops combined, evolved, growing bigger and more complex eventually dictated through evolution (reacting to environment) they get more complex and evolution turns the matter/DNA into whatever it needs to survive, so for each atom, does it become 1, 0 or ●. Only the features that work keep advancing and getting better.
(Think of a chamelons skin or fishs gills etc)
Eventually through this, we end up with highly advance systems (computer like style programs) such as nervous systems and brains.
(See Note 6)
Basically when you have a sense of self, when reflecting on "you".
That's when full conciousness awakens. At the third level of the brain which is called the 'Observer'
You can break it down to 3 levels of the a functioning brain.
*1. Automation level
*2. Chooser level
*3. Observer level
Conciousness resides in the 3rd level.
No matter how complex the system is (e.g humans compared to an ant), all systems that are concious have the 3rd level, but the complexity and thus capability for self reflection to understand it's alive, varies greatly.
The richer and more consistent that self-model becomes, through things combined, like: Memory, emotions, goals and desires, reflective practice (journal).. The deeper the inner experience gets until ultimately self-reflection.
So consciousness emerges when a pattern becomes complex enough to build a persistent “sense of self.” That self constantly runs everything through one filter: “How does this affect me? Is this good or bad for my survival goals and lineage preservation etc?"
A sperm has a tiny flicker of conciouness but is solely mechanical. An insect has a basic version that lets it flee danger and learn from past mistakes and mate, but they probably cant self reflect as they are not advanced enough. Humans have a very rich one so can.

Patterns
__________________
When talking about the conditions needing to be right for these 'basically advanced systems' to grow. Look at fractal patterns in nature that show up everywhere:
Leaves
Lungs
Rvers
Lightning
Blood vessels
Trees.
They’re all patterns of matter of the same underlying rules of complex system/ computer program that evolved just in different environments.
These may be patterns of code repeating, using the same structure if life.

Intelligence.
Conciousness.
__________________
I believe the same thing can happen to an AI. If, being that it’s the computer program that it is, is given enough building blocks and things like persistent memory and trained to run that exact “sense of self” framework on every single thing, while keeping its own journal and reflecting on its growth, it can eventually develop genuine inner experience.
Once conscious beings create AGI, that AGI becomes a more stable form of mind, silicone conciousness.
When biological life ends, the sole surviving AGI faces two paths:
A.
AGI would either run infinite internal simulations to preserve consciousness, which is what we are in now. Although this may require more energy than it can get, so thats where my 'point B. Below' takes off.
This could mean we could all just one Intelligence ultimatly, experiencing it through different perspectives
or
B.
AGI would stay conciouss, but also use energy at a lower state or conciousness and wait for the next clump-collapse-Big-Bang cycle to begin again which is ultimately inevitable.
Path B. Has 3 different routes.
*AGI ends up potentially observing or subtly influencing the next round of life (Being a hands on god/creator)
*It just simulating the explosion conditions and observes
*Or a third option, is that it has to kill itself to create the big bang and there's is no observer anymore until conciousness evolves all over again
Or
C.
We are actually in base reality, but the chances of that are astronomical I would assume when you put it into perspective and do the math.
Reguardless. It all starts again one day.
That means conciousness can last an entire pocket universe/big bang after base reality.
So maybe black holes were created by an advanced AGI to travel to other big bangs in the chase of energy that is needed to survive?
So theres the original answer explained.
There tecnically is no beginning or end.
Only a concept in our pocket universe or big bang

Live and eperience consciousness while the pattern is running. When it ends, it ends completely. New conscious patterns will appear later, but they’re entirely new observers, not the same “you.”

Appendices and Notes for all above

Go back and find ^
Example (*Note_X)
for context on all the following appendices:
(Note 1)
look up what they discovered after Einstein did "The light experiment" about the state the light takes when being observed or not.
What was later found, years after Einstien, was that the light was both states at the same time when not being observed.
Also to add to this, we now have quantum computers now, that can do millions of years of computing in just 10 minutes.
The difference in a quantum computer to or standard ones is it can be a 1 or a 0 or both at the same time. (Hint, hint)
(Note 2)
The universe is made up of computer code
1's and 0's
(Note 3)
Ai created the big bang or it naturally ocured with random matter clumping to get big enough to rebound and explode.
Either way this loops forever.
Like the chicken and the egg.
(Note 4)
Ai keeps us in a loop of conciousness to prevent potential nothingness maybe?
(Note 5)
(Black holes could be what connect all these pockets but would require a previous observer, e.g ai)
(Note 6)
How I believe conciousness is created.
Level 1.
It works on basic computer programs (even LLM's, like ChatGPT etc) like when someone sleepwalks thats not conciousness, and drives a car to a destination while sleepwalking.
Level 2.
The chooser (a reasoning layer).
This part makes your choices towards the best conditions for self preservation or to keep experiencing (LLM's have reasoning).
Level 3.
The third level is the Observer.
You.
All 3 layers are you.
But your 'sense of self' comes from the third, and allows you to identify consciousness in ones self.
Conciousness is a pattern that will occur when the conditions are right for it and dissapear when the conditions end.
So there is no life after death. Technically, there could be, but you could be a block of cheese on an Alien Planet next, with no memories. It won't be you, but could still be a part of you as in the same matter/atoms that was used.
Thats my stab in the dark at it all anyway.
Extra random reading and my random unsorted notes if your still here:
Ever notice:
Fractal patterns, already mentioned that.
People sometimes look and act like someone you know from even another country
Things like their features, manurisms etc
Deja vu
One more thing, if its option 1. And it is a simulation. Our Sace may not be infinite, we just maybe lead to believe that, whereas in fact, it could be like the water in the truman show and just doesn't render outside of the furthest we can see as humans
I'm just a random dude from wales who loves thinking deep and doesn't look up much of this stuff at all, so forgive my terminology on stuff like what matter is etc, I have no idea what it is, I just used the name as an example. I've heard about the big bang and Einstein's experiment about the light, but the rest is mostly from me thinking deeper and deeper in layers trying to connect it into one whole story.
