Figuring Some Things Out
Probably something to do with entropy, but I’m not great at math
Some scientists believe that if you shine a star’s energy onto any clump of matter for long enough, eventually you’ll get a plant. I think this idea suggests an exciting way to think about the creative process. Does the desire to create originate from the universe’s need to distribute energy? Are the heights of human creative expression driven by the local universe’s need to barf its way from a low-entropy to a high-entropy state? Are all biological life forms just entropy-processing machines, and beauty and art merely side-effects that resulted from natural selection producing ever-more efficient machines?
I have no idea, but it suggests a level of playfulness inherent in the physical universe that I find appealing.
