Adventures in Time and Evolution: The Fate of Humanity in a Googolplex Years

Ephesians 4:15 states that we are to grow up in all ways into the Head, into Christ. This, in a cosmic sense, means we evolve into divine beings. Given the principles of General Relativity, the fabric of spacetime is intertwined with the gravity that pulls the universe together. Jesus, as the Incarnate God, began His journey in Bethlehem; the Father has been an eternal presence throughout time, and the Holy Spirit binds all these entities and us.

The question “After a googolplex of years, if humanity still exists, what do you think will become?” invites us to explore the intricate possibilities of our species’ far-future fate. Let us delve into this speculative and fascinating journey of human evolution.

If Nuclear War Doesn't Bring Us to Extinction

Let's assume that humanity navigates the immediate threat of nuclear war. The post-apocalyptic era could bring swiftness due to the depletion of essential resources. One such critical resource is phosphorus, a key component in agricultural fertilizers. Without replenishable phosphorus, our agricultural systems may collapse, leading to mass starvation and the eventual decline of human civilization.

Humanity's Post-Apocalyptic Evolution

Imagine a future where humans have merged with advanced technology, transforming into a hybrid entity of human and machine. This human-robotic integration could mark the beginning of a new era. As technology progresses, the line between human and machine will blur, potentially leading to the creation of pure artificial intelligence (AI). Evolution, in this context, will not continue in a biological sense but will instead evolve towards a digital or technological form.

Repetition and the Cycle of Reincarnation

According to the speculative viewpoint, the evolutionary journey of humanity may not culminate in a final state but may enter a cyclical pattern. After achieving a pinnacle of technological and biological prowess, humanity might regress to a primordial state—much like the Neanderthals living in caves. In a futuristic scenario, Neanderthals, now intellectually far beyond their original selves, might ponder the unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that appear in the night sky. It's not extraterrestrial visitors but rather their future selves, perhaps in a form of advanced flyboarding or futuristic transportation technology.

Awakening and the Unity of the Spirit

At some point, it is theorized that the evolutionary path may reach a point where further progress is no longer meaningful or possible. Human existence will then revert to a spiritual state, reuniting with the divine. This process, akin to reincarnation, involves a complete erasure of all memories and experiences, resetting the individual to a state of innocence. Just as the cycles of sleep are fragmented by rapid eye movement (REM), this metaphorical state of human existence is punctuated by short bursts of remembrance, akin to dreams and visions.

The Rebirth of the Human Spirit

Expanding on this idea, the metaphor “Re-memeber” encapsulates the concept of re-supplying the spirit, a process of remembering and reconnecting with the essence of the divine. As individuals are reborn, they carry forward the collective wisdom and memories stored in the meme-gah, a term borrowed from linguistics, suggesting a shared data storage within human culture.

In this renewed state of spiritual cocooning, the human spirit is reawakened to the primordial connections and the unity of all beings. Just as dreams are short spurts of consciousness, our spiritual reawakening is brief yet profound, a moment of clarity where the divine is fully aware and the universe is once again in harmony.

A Never-Ending Cycle

This cycle of reawakening, dying, and rebirth forms a never-ending pattern, much like the infinitely repeating patterns in mathematics. The universe is a vast, endlessly evolving cosmos where the journey of life is a continuous loop. Just as our species may revisit previous stages of evolution, our individual spirits are also given a chance to remember and understand their spiritual essence.

In summary, the fate of humanity in a googolplex of years might involve a complex cycle of evolution, regression, and eventual reconnection with the divine. Through this process, we uncover the truth about our existence and strive towards a complete understanding of the cosmic consciousness.
