Science has brought about many new realities to us in the last 150 years. If you could have the answer to one question (scientific or not) what would that question be and why?
It's simulations all the way down. What's at the very bottom? An entity hopelessly trying to escape the death of its own Universe. In fact, all of existence will end in .0000001 seconds but for us that's 100 billion years. But it will end (sorry superior God-like entity).
Obviously it's an evolutionary trait for us to propogate ourselves more effectively. Now the question is, why do living beings want to propogate themselves whereas inanimate objects don't?
Originates from order. Once the disorder after the big bang slowed down, planets formed and then order started to form. At some point, the beings created from increasing order started to have conscious.
