Is this the key to everything? Please think for a while about this?

The essence of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics applies on the whole of reality as well, and thus everything is already solved for maximum stability for everything and everyone beyond timespace and all the other things.

In other words, 'Solution' is the most fundamental thing, which solves all of the problems, including those of its own creation, sustenance and working.

Solving means making the laws work, making changes for higher stabilities, following the laws or logic, etc.

Just think for a while about this.

Thank You

    Re the SLOT, the end game is a high entropy, useless energy system. That's about as stable as anything can get. That's the bottom of the energy well.

    And the thing about the SLOT is that it's independent of the path taken to get there. Which means random walk or straight on, either will end up with that end game.

    The 1st, 2nd and 3rd laws of thermodynamics apply to closed (isolated) systems. Existence, which can be defined as the set of all things that are possible, is a closed system because nothing can exist outside of existence. The first law (conservation of energy) reveals that energy cannot be added or taken away from a closed system, therefore energy is a fundamental component of existence. In fact, energy must be THE most fundamental component of existence because all things (all matter and all radiation) are a manifestation of energy. To give an analogy, energy is to existence as air is to an atmosphere or water is to an ocean.

    The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics reveals that closed systems spontaneously evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium — the state of maximum entropy of the system. This suggests that the ground state of existence (and our universe) is one devoid of all matter and radiation. It is a state of unified energy. Another term for this is a "unified field". The unified field theory in physics -- not yet fully accepted or agreed upon by physicists, cosmologists and quantum theorists -- reduces all fundamental forces and elementary particles to the mathematical terms of a single field.

    Your idea of "solution" being the most fundamental thing is therefore just a tick off center in my opinion. To me, a unified field of energy is the most fundamental thing and "solution" describes its behavior. In other words, the thing itself (energy) is fundamental and our understanding (solution) proceeds from it. To borrow a term from the philosopher Martin Heidegger, energy would be pre-ontological or "ontic" and solution would represent the ontology of it.

    (p.s. Nice post. Something different for a change, and philosophically interesting)

    Even randomness is a 'solution' to the question that actually needs no asker: "What should there be?''

    And the whole 'solution' to that question should be Stability, stability and maximum stability.

    Solving the problem is not the solution i think (Lol). My logic is based on trying to define the "problem". That in it self is the problem. The "problem" will always be a manifestation of the needs/desires of a logical being (Such as ourselves). In other words we create the problem, and then create the solution based on our logic. Without us, there would be no problem and therefore no solution. Based on your logic, if a solution is the key to everything then without humans (Our other intelligent life), there would be no point to anything.

    In other words:

    If intelligeance is needed to make a problem and then solution and soulutions appear to be the key. Then it is really life that is the key. Becaue without life there is no solution
