Are we a 'test' world and universe?

Actually, everything you said is where did we come from?

Where did all this come from?

There're as many different answers as there're different people to ask.

My guess is since everything is born from something then our universe was born from something too. So something else exists beyond our universe that gave birth to all of this and it itself exists alongside many other sorts of universes. What those universes are I cannot begin to fathom.

I suspect that life is somehow ubiquitous. It's some kind of all-pervasive physics. Just like how gravity distorts space and time and light travels here and there, life is intrinsic.

Yes and here is the button that is the equivalent of ESC

I apologize to those who have seen this image before - but I like it

I don't believe that we are a test.

Having said that, anything anyone says is, and can only be, speculation.

Our current form of existence could be construed as a "test" of sorts, for us. But I do not believe that we are an experiment.

I believe that whatever created our reality is fully capable of performing purposeful and meaningful actions without having to make mistakes.
We may not understand the purpose or the "seeming" outcome, but that is to be expected since we are finite and exist and function within a finite system. However, we were created by infinity that is not within the confines of any system. No matter what anyone says, or thinks they know, human beings simply cannot understand those concepts and, like I said, anything said on the matter is, and can only be, speculation.

The size relativity part doesn't make sense.

Matter, or what makes up matter, does what it does all based on it's size. Particles and galaxies both interact, but in a way which suits their scale.

We're all infinitely small, and live for an insignificant amount of time. It could be a test to how we respond to others, that could be used to see how we would react to other organisms of life.

Or life could all be a dream. I mean, we do work for jewels (+1 to anyone who gets that) and we live to survive. Everything else programs you to think you can't live without it. I work in the HVAC industry and I notice it in people.

The people with no air conditioning because it broke, act as if their life stops because their house is hot.

Something is brewing, and it's not going to be good. A lot of people are going to react badly to the coming change because everyone is used to the ease of today's world.

Most don't know how to survive if food and water is not given to them.
So no, life is not a test anymore. Life is about working for money, and giving that money to other people so that they make money, and we all survive.

Anyone else think something is wrong with that? I mean, we work, we do services to get some trees with ink on them. What value does that have? And the ego problem. I laugh at that.

Ego's separate us from everyone else, like an individual is special or something.

No, we all can do whatever the f&&k we want to, just stop being lazy. Simple as that. Watch what you eat, watch what chemicals you ingest, and think for your damn self.

America has gone to s$$t, and so have many other countries that were "the best".

Don't even ask me for "proof", "evidence", look around you. Look at the world we live in.

It's 2012, and we are still hating, still killing other people.

Either a worldwide change needs to happen and kill our f&&king egos, or we all need to die.
You can tell me I'm pessimistic, no I'm a realist.
It takes a little logic to think it through.

What use are we to the universe, when we CAN'T EVEN TAKE CARE OF OUR SMALL PLANET?

Seriously. Do some thinking. Get off your high horse, everyone.

Good vibes to all.

This doom and gloom has been a feature of every age. You might enjoy looking at Max Nordau's book, Degeneration which was printed in 1892

A summary here

The book

You'll find similar 'doom and gloom' in earlier years too

The book reflects views on a degenerating society held by many people in Europe at the time, especially throughout the Austro-Hungarian Empire. By the early 20th century, the idea that society was degenerating, and that this degeneration was influenced by art

Ahh, I'll have to read that book.

But can you honestly say, has society been getting better?
The gene pool is running thin, the amount of necessities to live has practically doubled, even though we still only have around 5-6 actual needs that need to be fulfilled.

Tell me about how our society is getting better. Please.

life is what you make of it, anyway you want you can make that...
the test may be: knowing this what will you do??

maybe someone thought: "i want to create a universe full of meaningful events and connections and full of people free to do as they please. Also i will make these laws (physics genetics and all sciences) so they can evolve/learn and by this knowledge develop in any way they decide"

anyway mindset is one half of all the things we experience if you wanna "test" reality.
look for success you'll find success everywhere look for failure you will find evidence of how everything/everyone fails and doubts will be in you bringing to your own failure.
