MEANING OF LIFE AND THE END OF OUR UNIVERSE




WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE
The meaning of life and the end of our universe.
What's the meaning of life?
The question of why and how we came to exist as humanity has been with us for several millennia. Who created us and why did he do so? Who created our creator?
As rational beings, these are unavoidable questions which keep prodding our consciences. Is there a purpose for life? To me, life is meaningless. It is only those who understand the uselessness of life who live their lives satisfactorily in fear of nothing. It takes philosophical and scientific reasoning to unlock fractions of secrets regarding our existence on this pale blue dot.

I find it daunting that mankind's life is so ephemeral. In order to persuade myself into agreement with the unpreventable demise of man, I am forced to sometimes reason that, "it's easy come, easy go". Humans are mortal beings because life comes freely. We didn't asks any creator to create us; were purposefully born to end in destruction. That's why our lives end abruptly. Few lucky individuals live their full lifespan of about 70 years before death eventually overpowers them. The unmatched ingenuity of man in the animal kingdom gives me sleepless nights anytime I understand that our world and the universe's lifetime is not infinite. Our lively planet is unfortunately destined for doomsday. Scientifically, the universe together with all its content will die in the big freeze or the big crunch.

Historically, it is known that about 99% of life species that ever lived on earth have gone extinct. Therefore, how special are we to think we are safe? Not too fast! Scientists need to create astronomical awareness of the several cosmic catastrophes such as alien invasions, asteroid impacts, supernova explosions and other external mishaps that could potentially wipe out our planet.

Humanity as a whole have no future in our watery world. The best future we could ever have will be embark on a mass exodus to other distant but favorable extrasolar bodies. Eventually, we would still need to escape our universe into other multi verses if we wish to survive our species eternally. Our universe is a ticking time bomb which cannot be defused.

The sun is the ultimate source of energy and life in our planet. Our planet derives it energy from the sun while revolving around it. Mathematically, it has been accurately calculated that the sun has used half of its nuclear fuel since it existed about 4.5 billion years ago. The sun is an averaged-sized star. All stars eventual use up their nuclear fuel and die. Disappearance of our sun means, we are dead.

If humans don't get smarter technologically, all our hustles will one day be in vain. Nevertheless, we don't normally worry about the death of our planets and the universe because we still have about 5 billion years before our sun consumes us.

Global warming and climate change are further shortening the generational lifespan of our species. Sadly, man is a significant contributor to climate change. About 50% of atmospheric carbon dioxide comes from the transportation sector. Tsunamis, volcanoes, earth quakes and hurricanes are getting stronger and commoner by the day. We need to brace our heads in readiness for this impact.

The conclusion is that life has no well-establishede meaning; just live it your way while it lasts. On September 8, 2019, my wife and I miraculously survived a fatal road accident. I still don't know why a weirdo like me didn't perish in that ghastly accident which took away many lifes. Was it God who saved me? Maybe yes; that's possible if God actually exists. In case God doesn't exist (which I'm still sceptical about), then my survival was another big accident on its own.

Even though that near death experience didn't scare me a bit,  I know that one day a vacuum of darkeness shall hang over my lifeless body, when my mission on this Earth is accomplished.

Life is crazy; the universe is even crazier. Be yourself and live a fulfilling life. Time is running out of your life, every second. Therefore, don't waste your life trying to please anybody. Be your Own boss. Think hard to solve your probles, and stop worrying unnecessarily. Fear nothing at all; not even death.

The Ultimate Guide to Universities in Ghana

Universities in Ghana — KNUST In Ghana, universities belong to the best academic institutions for higher education. Most high school leavers in Ghana often strive to further their studies at the University level. This article will serve as an ultimate guide to Universities in Ghana.  I remember about 4-5 years ago, I beamed with smiles when the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology offered me admission. It was a dream true; after 4 years of rigorous studies, I graduated from KNUST with a bachelor's degree in Physics.  A lot of intrinsic and extrinsic factors come into play when students make decisions to go to the Varsity. Let's understand why Ghanaian students long to school at universities Why University Education Matters in Ghana Does university education actually matter? The answer is both yes and no. Depending on individual aspirations/goals, the university craze may vary across students. The fact is that some time ago, going to the university m

UNIVERSITY DEGREES – THEIR USES AND THEIR USELESSNESS

Image
KNUST Degree A university degree is an academic hot cake which is often chased by high school graduates. But why is a university degree so important, such that people (including myself) often kill to get one? University degrees don't come for free; they come at a high cost. Thankfully, Brighter Investment is a financial institution which invests their resources on the future of brilliant but needy students. This means that, all intelligent students have an opportunity to acquire a university degree, irrespective of their financial status. That is beautiful. Isn’t it? The importance of acquiring education is obvious. We live in a human society that heaps praises successful people. Accordingly, many people believe that a higher level of education brings success and recognition. Parents and financial institutions such as TestforGhana and Brighter Investment Ltd spend hugely in financing student degrees. This is because, education is understood to be the key to success

CAN YOU BE HAPPY WITHOUT MONEY?

Image
Admittedly, an answer to the above question isn’t so easy to pinpoint. This accrues from the numerous ways individuals define happiness and money, as well as how much of it is enough. Let’s quickly take a look at my concept of these two words; happiness and money. Happiness is a state of mind of an individual where one feels inner joy and satisfaction with situations or events occurring in one’s life. It is a feeling of ecstasy and the absence of worries. Money refers to any legal tender which is accepted as a means of exchange and a measure of value of goods and services. In today’s society, money comes in the form of physical cash (notes and coins) and in virtual form (electronic money). People with huge sums of money are classified as being wealthy or rich. Conversely, those who lack it so much are termed as the poor. Middle class refers to people with average income; not too much, not too little. We can clearly see and infer from the above descriptions that the amount of
