We ’ve all discover of an countless number of monkey type out Shakespeare , but could coincidence be even potent than that ? Could the universe become populated by jumbo space brains ? And more significantly , has it been already ?
Some clock time ago , scientist noticed that the universe was flying asunder . It was flying apart , they noticed , quicker and quicker . Sooner or by and by the stars will recede beyond the span of our persuasion . Then our own sun will recede . atom will be lost in an more and more vast sea of nothing , until the nothing goes on incessantly . The existence will just fade out .
That kind of thinking really makes one look forward to being dead so one does n’t have to deal with all of that , but some scientist get together and thought up some the musical theme of a randomly - generated resurrection . quad , even as we see it now , is not as empty as it would seem . It is permeated by a field of view that gives procession to short - lived but ad lib pass off particles that drink down into and out of existence . And in the void that will be the future creation , this will still happen . And with an unnumbered amount of meter to keep popping up , some of these molecule will clomp together to form bigger particles , and bigger unity , and so on . Sure , it ’s unbelievable , but in such monumental stretches of clock time and distance , improbable does n’t really matter . Not only that , but the issue that pop up wo n’t have utmost temperature or natural marauder or any existing structures to skew prospect . A marshmallow ca n’t spontaneously take form in a lava flow , because it would be melted . In a random bit of space that no particle is mold ? perhaps it would have a better shaft . The affair that forms , whatever it is , could be as little as a quark cheese or as big as a planet .

And that affair could get gravely ridiculous . Ludwig Boltzmann was a physicist at the latter one-half of the 19th century , and he put forward a theory just like this . From this disputation the Boltzmann Brain parameter emerged . This was the idea that random fluctuations in the universe will give rise to a self - aware idea in the pandemonium . Sure , it would take a while , but it ’s not like the universe is on a deadline or anything .
It gets weirder . As physicists kicked around this idea , the Boltzmann Brain Paradox was floated . Not only could the nous go forth from the topsy-turvyness after the universe , but one could have already emerged . It could , in fact , with memories of its preceding spirit . What I ’m say is , “ Hi , space brain ! ” What are the odds , the Paradox entail , that somehow a whole existence was form in a Big Bang and is now winding down with all of us sentient existence observing it ? Is n’t that less likely than one cognizance , with a few delusions , having pop into living by opportunity ?
While the Boltzmann Brain Paradox estimate is a fun one to explore , most scientists do n’t bribe it . Feynman excellently pointed out that , even if one part of the population could get it together and bug out out a space brain , then it would be likely that the rest of the universe would still be in consummate disorderliness . So when the encephalon count around , it might be in a orderly minuscule corner itself , but when the rest of the universe would most likely be a mickle . The universe we can see is unusual , sure , but it ’s as orderly as our corner , the right way out to the edges . So , sorry Boltzmann . No brains yet .
