Topic: Is the 'soul' composed of cold dark matter? (Read 134 times)

You are presenting the philosophical position. My point is, if it can be explained empirically, then why not? After all, in our post-modern times, there's certainly more sense in basing one's world-view on something that is scientifically credible than in arcane stuff that is casually dismissed as "old man's tales".

All of matter, including dark matter, is bestowed with mass by the force field of the Higgs Boson thar permeates the Universe. Can this be associated with "karma"?

My approach suggests that the major events in a person's lifetime are all ingrained into the long-term memory, which is a physical memory store. Perhaps, this stimulates some dark matter particle complex formation on the "soul" side.



This one is actually pretty simple. There seem to be 'hard-wired' laws of morality not just in the human brain, but also in all other organisms, including bacteria. In fact these laws are dictated by chaos theory. So, this 'judgment' part is the simplest from this dark matter point of view.



Well, this "soul as cold dark matter" theory of mine is all about physics; so, whichever way you approach this issue, what you state here will always be the end-result!

The point I'm making is, there is a very real chance that this is scientically validatable. In such circumstances, it has profound implications not just for our lives, but also for our polity. Currently, "Karma" is just a belief, and dismissed as wishful thinking by jurisprudence. But, if it is empirically 'kosher' then jurisprudence must factor it in it's calculus.

That polity aspect apart, even at the individual level; a person would become more moral if s/he realises that "karma" is scientifically binding, and that the actions of the individual in this life affect their prospects in the future life/ lives to come.

"karma" - an invisible force that records everything you do or say, judges it against the morality of the person invoking it, and changes physics to make things equal.

 

Now, a lot of people think that the soul belongs to another dimension, different from our 4D world, (three dimensions and time). But, I was thinking, what if the soul is made up of cold dark matter. That way, it could be effectively in another dimension, even while staying within our 4D world.

This Dark Matter, and Dark Energy, is thought to make up 85 percent of the Universe, and our ordinary matter that is seen and known makes up the remaining 15 percent. It doesn't react with ordinary matter, but is attracted to gravity. Hence, "clumps" of dark matter surround galaxies. There are two types of dark matter, ordinary dark matter which is fast moving, and cold dark matter, which moves very slowly. This we know from gravitational observations.

These cold dark matter particles are very slow moving, and once they are gravitationally attracted to a particular human body, (or, to any living body), they will remain 'glued' to it until it breaks apart, as happens when it decomposes upon death.

Then, as the religions say, the soul is "liberated". So, maybe, these discrete dark matter particles that have their own dark matter body unknown to us and made up of strange dark matter particles, could possibly be attracted to a new organism again. Re-incarnation! And, the "transmigration of the soul"!

But, how does "karma" fit in here? Perhaps, there is some interaction between ordinary matter and dark matter, and this "colours" the dark matter soul, and restricts it to a kind of body in the next life, that is a reward/ punishment for the karma of the earlier life.

But, the question remains: what is the goal of existence in this schematic? And, what is liberation from the point of view of this schematic?
