I don't neccesarily believe in total what I am writing in this post, butI find the philosophical implications of science very intqueing.

There are some theories and physicists that believe that the past is created fom the present, in whats called the Participatory Anthropic Principle. Before life existed to "fine-tune" the laws of reality, the universe was in a chaotic quantum state of uncertainty clouds, matter and energy existed as physical information ("bit"), but when life evolved, "it" saparng from "bit" - the orderly universe we see sprang into existence when life first evolved.

In quantum mechanics, it is very strange how consciousness can have an effect on the world of atoms and sub-atomic particles (this is actually proven in experiments, an observer is needed to collapse the wavefunction). But it brings an intriquing question - what camefirst life or the universe. Well, when the Big Bang occured, the future existed in the "Many Worlds" state of all possible futures. In some, life could indeed rise out of these clouds of probability. And now comes another important fact:that the observer creates the existence of things that existed many years before. This sounds weird, but if it happens to photons, then why not big things like distant stars and galaxies. They didn't exist until they were observed. Similary, life in these probability clouds created the past that was possible from their time, which influenced the time imbetween the Big Bang and their existence.

Finally, when the last observer dies, the history of the universe collapses into quantum states again, but perhaps another universe could spring into existence from those probability clouds, repeating the process again!
