I typed this great essay on the meaning of life this morning (9:35 in the Netherlands), but when I clicked on 'Post Reply' I came in the frontpage of the forums and I discovered that my deeply philosophical (or just vague, you decide for yourself) essay was gone. So now that all the hairs I pulled out this morning are beginning to grow back I'll give it a second try: We live in a 4-dimensional universe. 3 of these dimensions are spatial dimensions and the other dimension is a temporal dimension. And here's the important part: since time only has one dimension, it is both an infinitley long 'line' and an infinitely small point. But life starts at a certain point in time and ends at another point. But between the beginning and the end of one life other lifes can start and end too. When I combined the above facts I came to this conclusion: In order to experience time you have to be alife live. If you would not be alife you would not be sentient and you would not be able to experience the beginnings and ends of other lifes and therefore we would not be able to orientate ourselves in temporal dimension. So the meaning of life is 'to experience time' and at the same time you have ti experience time to know that you are alife. And with that we can also say what the meaning of te universe is: the meaning of the universe is for life to exist in. And if life wouldn't exist in the universe that there would not be anything to experience the movement of the matter/energy in the universe and thus there would be no way to even know that there in matter/energy in the universe. If nothing would know of the existence of matter/energy nothing would interfere with it and matter/energy would just be caught in an infinite time loop and that would render time obsolete. And because everything tends to absolute order, time would not exist at all and would never start existing. And without time our universe would be instable and unable to exist (according to the M-theory). So the universe needs life to exist and life needs the universe to exist.
