Contemplation

One thing that I think is a flaw with pshysicist ( I have of course great respect) is that the overall conesnsus seems to be that space and time and everything that makes it up is dead, lifeless, and yet somehow we manage to sit down a sunny afternnoon, gaze upon the sunset while Chopin Waltz no.7 in C minor is flowing out of the speakers, could there be anything more alive? It seems strange to presume that complexity at a certain level suddenly creates something that is alive, like us, animals or plants. I think string theory as I understand it is a beautiful theory, and I cannot help but think that strings are not just "blind force" vibrating in certain patterns creating elementary particles. One problem that is very apparent to me, when reading physics, is that you are always yourself pushing the goal one step further away from yourself. Before string theory, there was quantum mechanics, and as Brian Greene puts it, it cannot account for any explanation of why certain elementary particles have this or that mass, energy so forth and so on. Now with string theory, voilá! of course the characteristics of elementary particles are due to the vibrational pattern of the string! But then the question arises, why is the string vibrating in that particular manner? If you are to come up with more pshysicist explanations then there will always be one or more questions arising from the conclusions you manage to create. An easy answer is to say, well, of course the string is just another form of life, and it vibrates the way it does because it wants to, thus creating whole of the elegant universe we are living in, but of course it would be childish, insane even to attribute intentionality upon "dead matter". At least the chain of explanation stops lol :) I think,, that knowledge is like a fractal, every answer gives rise to one or more questions thus, there will be an infinite number of questions and the number of answers will relative to the amount of questions become zero, beacause the number of questions move faster towards infinity (this is sound mathematical reasoning). Most people would consider this to be the standpoint of a skeptic, why? Look at the Mandelbrot, every branch is a new set of questions, and you can zoom in indefinately and it will give rise to the most astonishing patterns, and there is no end to it, doens't this make the fact that there are no answers look beautiful? You can also make the analogy to reality, of course we can never speak about reality and non-reality, how would you know the difference, there is none. Reality is vibrations, the symphony of the universe, this is exactly what string theory says, on a phiilosophical level, and that is what makes the theory so apppealing.
