We are only intelligent life forms when we compare ourselves to the limits of our own world.

We may be considered primitive life forms by other beings in the cosmos.

The universe is a test tube.

And we are the sludge at the bottom of that test tube.

The meaning of life is that TIME always rolls forward, never stops, never goes backwards It can occasionally slow down under the influence of massive adrenaline pumping. People grow bigger, taller, faster and smarter with each succeeding generation. Human scientific knowledge and technology increases with time passage at a rate greater than straight line. Everybody's NOT beautiful - there are many dark souls. Hopefully, the light outnumbers the dark.

Maybe. Now is a figment of our imagination. We sense time as we move through it. Mathematically, there is a possibility that we could turn around and move in a different direction.

Which might mean that our emotions are more powerful and maybe more insightful than our intellects. Nothing has more hubris than the intellect and yet on a universal scale our intellects may be very small. Some of our emotions, such as love and awe, may be of a higher order.
