Thats maybe why 'you' exist. But what creates everything, what creates 'your' thought?

thats two different questions.
1. what creates everything?- matter creates everything.
2. what creates 'your' thought?- i've already said- I think, therefore I am. Individual reality.

What creates matter?

Thoughts are not matter!

Petesmith: matter can neither be created nor destroyed. All matter and energy in the universe is conserved. Its called the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy.

What you may have wanted to ask is how was matter created. And the answer to that is extremely complicated, but i'll try to simplify it for you; anti-matter has mass and when mass moves at a high velocity, there is an overall increase in energy. When the two anti-matter particles collide, you will have a strong release of energy that will result in the creation of both "normal matter" particles and "anti-matter" particles.


Thoughts are matter. Thoughts are electrochemical signals running through a chain of neurons and chemicals processing in the brain. Electrochemical signals are forms of energy. Energy is matter and vica versa.

if YOU can ask the Question "do we exist?" your question presupposes existence. otherwise there would be nothing to question , and no one to ask the question.

right on!! reality is truly an individual thing, and as such its importance is in how it affects the individual...as was said earlier we cant prove the existence of anything besides ourselves, and so our only link to a "purpose" or "importance" or even "relevance" is throught the assumption that the physical world exists, and/or a concept of the individual as a complete unit for whom reality's only importance is in their own "individual reality"
