Dark Energy Is Universal Consciousness
There are a few standard explanations for this fine-tuning. One is the Multiverse Theory. Perhaps there exists an infinite ensemble of universes, each with randomly determined fundamental constants. We by definition can only exist in one of the few universes where the conditions happen to be suitable for our existence. But there is also an alternative, more teleological explanation. What if these constants aren't random at all? What if they were deliberately selected? If Dark Energy is indeed a form of intelligence, then it could have self-adjusted its properties specifically to guarantee the emergence of life and consciousness. In this scenario, we are not merely an accidental byproduct of impersonal physical laws, but potentially one of the underlying goals of the universe's existence. This intelligence could have set its density at the minimum positive value required, just enough to prevent cosmic collapse, yet small enough not to interfere with the necessary formation of g...
