Follows Chapter 3's 'Introduction to Cosmological Metaphysics'—laying the M.E.T.A. Physics foundation before this applied case study in cosmic-existential synthesis.
Beyond the Big Bang: Existential Dilemmas at Cosmology's Edge
Eternal Significance in an Infinite Cosmos: Bridging Physics & Philosophy
In this pivotal Chapter 3 segment, Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander dissects Paul Steinhardt's provocative claim: 'Untestable theories cross from science into metaphysics.'
Exploring cosmology's collision with existential philosophy, we examine:
- Dark matter's empirical grip vs. metaphysical 'nothingness' before the Big Bang
- Human meaning in an infinite universe (Does significance vanish in limitless space?)
- Cosmic fate scenarios (**Big Freeze vs. Big Crunch**) and their consciousness implications
- Why dark energy's expansion forces us to confront time's illusion
> A masterclass in weaving empirical threads (cosmology) with philosophical inquiry (metaphysics) to confront reality's ultimate mysteries
