right!”
“I’m with you.” Charlie said.
“Now if you see a woman without a wedding band, you can extrapolate that she’s single and have the odds on your side of being right, right?” asked Stanley.
“Okay, I got it.”
“So if we can mutually create a black cat with words in a mutually viewed universe, we may extrapolate that it wouldn’t be totally unreasonable that the physical universe was simply spoken into existence with, say, words like let there be light, and there was light! Or boom, or exist, if you will. So, Charlie, if that was how it happened, and we know that sound and light are wavelengths, then here is a puzzle for you, Charlie, like the chicken and the egg thing. Which came first, sound or light?”
Charlie thought a moment. “Light?”
Stanley smiled. “Well, how about the words, Let there be light? Sounds, right.”
“Oh, yeah, sounds came first.”
“I’m afraid not, Charlie. If sound is defined as a sound wave that travels through some sort of medium like a gas or liquid or solid like an eardrum. Well at the first moment there were no eardrums, so no sound.”
Charlie looked puzzled. “It was light?”
“Afraid not, Charlie. There wasn’t a space to light up. Remember, space is part of the physical universe.”
“Okay, okay, okay! Oh, wise-ass one, what’s your theory?”
Charlie got up and sauntered to the kitchen, rummaged through the pantry and retrieved a bag of Cheetos. He went back and sat down on the couch. He offered the open bag to Stanley, but he waved it off.
“I’m glad you asked.”
Charlie rolled his eyes. “Anything to end this interrogation!”
Stanley seemed to mellow out and said, “before the beginning of the physical universe was simply consciousness.”
Charlie raised a finger, “of what, since nothing existed?”
“Of being conscious,” said Stanley.
“Sounds boring.” Charlie faked a yawn.
“Exactly, until someone made the first decision to start something to create a little interest!” said Stanley.
“Okay, Stanley, I’ll bite. What do you think was the first decision and the beginning of the physical universe?”
“It could only be one thing.”
“What?” asked Charlie.
“Hamlet had it right.”
“What?”
“The first decision was ‘To Be!’”
“To be?” Charlie repeated, perplexed.
“Yep, someone decided to exist and needed a place to exist in. To do that, that someone created an idea and said something in the order of ‘Let there be light’ or the equivalent. If I’m right, it would have taken quite a strong intention, and I am betting that the first entry into the physical universe was simply a small orb of light!” said Stanley.
“A small orb of light, not a big bang?” inquired Charlie.
“I should say a small wave of energy,” answered Stanley.
Charlie looked suddenly alert. “Then what is the wave of energy made of?”
“Now that is the question. I’m relatively certain that the thinker or consciousness simply created the physical universe by its will. So, just as a particle is condensed energy waves, condensed energy waves are condensed thought,” Stanley stated confidently.
“So, Anne wills herself into her room? Hmmm, then orbs and portals are, uh, consciousness points?” Charlie asked tentatively.
“Bingo!” Stanley said emphatically.
Charlie’s eyes widened.
“Quantum physics!”
“Exactly!”
“Holy smokes, that would make science substantiate religion!”
“You got it, Sherlock!”
“What about the big bang?”
“That dawned on me, too. Think about it. Before the big bang, there was simply consciousness. When someone made a decision to be, what they actually did is separate from the mass-less group.”
“Group?”
“Well, technically not a group yet, but when someone created that first orb or light, then it fragmented the consciousness. It had to view its creation or universe. Of course, it follows that the other fragments became instantly points of view
