OK I don’t want any one line sarcastic comments about how I’m talking carp as if you’re not interested in my opinions, go read another question as you won’t get best answer.

I’m interested in science and metaphysics. For a long time I’ve tried to work out the meaning of life and I don’t believe anything unless it can be proved to me. I started off reading about religions which I know is silly but I needed to start from somewhere to see where ideas come from, which led me onto ancient philosophies such as oriental thinking and I thought that there are some ideas that link all of them. I know most religion is man made up nonsense written by simple people 1000s of years ago but a few ideas I found interesting, such as about meditation in buddhism and energies in the body in oriental medicine. One particular thing that sticks in my mind is the oriental idea of Chi or an energy in the body that can travel out of the body. The thing that interested me the most was the talk of enlightenment and how some metaphysics can link their mind to the energy of the universe as we’re all a part of it, and how one day the scientist will come to the same conclusion as the metaphysicist and how most of the big thinkers such as Einstein were probably enlightened to see things for how they are even without realising it, so they could base their thinking into a scientific theory for it to be proved. I’ve read how Einstein came to his ideas before he found a way to prove it in physics for people to understand.

Sometimes I think that it’s a big waste of time, or I might even have Asperger’s in that I’m obsessed with the idea of the meaning of life, but it would be wonderful if I could hear other well thought out opinions on my opinion so far. Probably dumb asking on a science forum as I will just be insulted but I know that scientists aren’t all closed minded. I know that one day all I have read will just click together and it will make sense.
