“Two extremes of the Universe span a jaw-dropping 63 orders of magnitude. To be fair, though, this isn't an immutable constant of Nature. Turn the clock back more than 13 billion years and you'd be able to find a moment when this number was merely one. Over time, the expansion of the cosmos and the passage of light has unlocked all of those other scales, each one a new opportunity for novelty and complexity.” -Caleb Scharf While speaking of the origins of us, most people usually envision origination in time, in linear time to be exact, notably in the deep past. In purely scientific terms, our origins can be traced back to the Big Bang, first prokaryotes, primordial mammals, first hominids, first humans, the first civilization, depending on a pertinent perspective one wants to take. In this essay, we'll discuss our origins based on today’s widely accepted scientific knowledge with a few novel interpretations of my own.* ![]() *This article is abridged from "The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution" by Alex M.

Physicists remain undecided whether this means the Universe began from a singularity, or that current knowledge is insufficient to describe the Universe at the initial moments of time. Detailed measurements of the expansion rate of the Universe place the 'Big Bang' at around 13.8 billion years ago, which is thus considered the age of the Universe. After the initial expansion, the Universe cooled sufficiently to allow the formation of subatomic particles, and later simple atoms. Giant clouds of these primordial elements later coalesced through gravity in halos of Dark Matter, eventually forming the stars and galaxies visible today. The early Universe was a cold and dark place swirling with invisible gas, mostly hydrogen and helium. Over millions of years, gravity pulled some of this primordial gas into clusters. These clusters eventually became so dense they imploded and ignited, giving birth to the very first stars in the cosmos. Everything flowed from this dawn of creation. The first stars illuminated the Universe, then collapsed into the black holes that along with Dark Matter keep galaxies together. They also produced the heavy elements that would make celestial bodies such as planets and moons, and humanity that evolved to gaze upon it all. We are part intergalactic. We carry in us not only the genes of our ancestors but the legacy of previous generations of stars. We are part extragalactic, too. Up to half of the matter in the Milky Way may have originated in other galaxies. Some of these foreign elements were seeded into the Milky Way during mergers with other galaxies in its infancy. But much of it also arrived after being blasted out of host galaxies by supernovas, and then surfing over to us on the "galactic winds," which are streams of charged particles that travel between galaxies at incredible speeds. This cross-pollination is known as the ‘Baryon Cycle’, a process that includes outpourings of material that are eventually reabsorbed back into their host galaxies, as well as the transfer of matter between galaxies. Some 4.5 billion years ago, the solar system was a nursery full of planetary toddlers. Tiny pebbles coalesced so rapidly that the protoplanets grew quickly into full-fledged planets. The history of early Earth is one of extreme heat caused by meteorite bombardment and, most importantly, the huge impact some 4.4 billion years ago of the Mercury-sized embryonic planet that later became our moon. Scientists are speculating that almost all of Earth’s life-giving carbon could have come from this collision, approximately 100 million years after Earth formed.* VIDEO: The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution, Book Trailer - Ecstadelic Media (cc) ![]() *This article is abridged from "The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution" by Alex M.

A towering figure in evolutionary biology Charles Darwin who is celebrated for his foundational work “On the Origin of Species” (1859), wrote a letter to the botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1871, describing a conjectural warm little pond, rich in chemicals and amino acids, with sources of light, heat and electricity. Darwin imagined that in such an environment, proteins might spontaneously form, ready to turn into something more complex. A lesser known speculative assumption, dubbed the ‘Panspermia Hypothesis’, poses an interesting question whether Earth might have been seeded by early Martian life (if it existed). Mars was supposedly more habitable in its early period than Earth. In general terms, panspermia refers to the sharing of life via meteorites from one planet to another, or delivery by comet between solar systems. If a random group of atoms has an external energy source like the sun and is surrounded by something that can absorb heat like the ocean or an atmosphere, those atoms are likely to restructure themselves to harvest increasingly more energy. Structure and the ability to use energy sound intriguingly like what it takes to turn non-life into life, i.e. biological life. The first paper by Jeremy England, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows that life-like structural arrangements of atoms can spontaneously arise. The second paper, published in Physics Review Letters, shows that when driven by an external energy source – the sun, in this case – these atoms rearrange themselves in order to absorb and emit the energy more efficiently. Importantly, these life-like structures started to copy themselves in order to better handle this energy flow. What we now start to uncover with various scientific methodologies is essentially the same: emergence of ever more complex structures is programmed into the nature of our evolving cosmos. All life on Earth performs computations – and all computations require energy. From unicellular amoeba to multicellular organisms like humans, one of the most basic biological computations common across life is translation: processing information from a genome and writing that into proteins. Translation turns out to be extremely efficient. Life, when viewed as a computational process, aims to optimize the storage and use of meaningful information. Once we regard living organisms as agents performing computations — collecting and storing information about an unpredictable environment — capacities and considerations such as replication, adaptation, agency, purpose and meaning can be understood as arising not from evolutionary random walk, but as inevitable consequences of physical laws. If we are to reconceptualize the origins of life in light of new evidence that was hiding in plain sight, the notion that biological life is a “cosmic imperative” gets all support it needs. In other words, organic life had to eventually emerge.* VIDEO: Was Life Inevitable? - Inspiring Philosophy ![]() *This article is abridged from "The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution" by Alex M.

The two strands of DNA run in opposite directions to each other, shaped as a double helix. Within eukaryotic cells, this gigantic molecule of DNA, consisting of tens of billions of atoms, is organized into long structures called chromosomes. DNA seems to act like a computer program through the language of code, and it has the capacity to store incredibly huge amounts of data. Some animal genomes seem to be missing certain genes, ones that appear in other similar species and must be present to keep the animals alive. These apparently missing genes have been labeled ‘dark DNA’. And its existence could change the way we think about evolution. These findings tell us that humans are not the final product of evolution. Our genomes are like those of any other species: a fluid landscape of DNA sequences that keep changing. This explains how our genome can host its ever-changing repetitive elements despite their potential to disrupt the existing order in our cells. Researchers found that the genetic code, especially in the apparently useless ‘junk DNA’ follows the same rules as all our human languages. To this end they compared the rules of syntax (the way in which words are put together to form phrases and sentences), semantics (the study of meaning in language forms) and the basic rules of grammar. What they found is that the alkalines of our DNA follow a regular grammar and do have set rules just like our languages. So the patterns present in human languages appear more than just a coincidence and reflect our built-in DNA, as if hardwired into our genetic code. Studies confirm that our systems of beliefs and lifestyles affect our DNA and vice-versa.* RELATED: ![]() *This article is abridged from "The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution" by Alex M.

In this traditional view of evolution, our cellular complexity evolved from early eukaryotes via random genetic mutation and selection. But recently some scholars have proposed that complexity can arise by other means — as a side effect, for instance — even without natural selection to promote it. Studies suggest that random mutations that individually have no effect on an organism can fuel the emergence of complexity in a process known as 'Constructive Neutral Evolution'. In 2005, biologist James Shapiro at the University of Chicago outlined a radical new narrative. He argued that eukaryotic cells work “intelligently” to adapt a host organism to its environment by manipulating their own DNA in response to environmental stimuli. Recent microbiological findings lend hefty support to this idea. For example, mammals’ immune systems have the tendency to duplicate sequences of DNA in order to generate effective antibodies to attack disease, and we now know that at least 43% of the human genome is made up of DNA that can be conjured up through a process of “natural genetic engineering”. Now, it may be a bit of a leap of faith to go from smart, self-organizing cells to the brainy sort of intelligence but the key point here is that long before we were conscious, thinking beings, our cells were reading data from the environment and working together to mold us into robust, self-sustaining agents. A powerful way to learn how embodied connective intelligence works is to think about a multicellular organism like the human body. The body is made up of trillions of cells. Approximately 37.2 trillion, that’s a lot of cells! Cells are much more like miniature information-processing machines with quite a bit of flexibility. They’re also networked, so they’re able to communicate with other cells in populations...* RELATED: ![]() *This article is abridged from "The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution" by Alex M.

But I stress the word ‘current’ here. These issues are actually not out of reach by other methods of investigation, the ones that the next scientific paradigm will inescapably encompass with the arrival of Artificial Superintelligence. Those new scientific methodologies may include but not limited to computing supercomplex abstractions, creating simulated realities, and manipulating matter-energy and space-time continuum itself. If you read my new book "The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the MInd's Evolution" I'll show you that rigid linearity of existence, our sense of time, the notion of temporality itself can be challenged, and therefore our origins are not necessarily rooted in the distant event of the brute Big Bang, ancient history of savage ancestry, and violent intra- and extra-species competition for survival and resources, as mainstream science deems to be a proven fact. Well, you'll see that it's not a creationist story, either. In the book we'll discuss two other worldviews on the origins of us, one philosophical perspective that I call Digital Presentism, and one teleological perspective enkindled by the Omega Point cosmology. Although both perspectives could be construed as metaphysical, their tenets are derived from undeniable logic and the quantum theoretic principles inherent to everything we call the Universe.* -Alex Vikoulov P.S.
