Philosophical questions - NOT amateur radio

It is impossible (I think) to know if there is a world outside of what we experience, or if this is all just for me and no-one else experiences what I experience.

All our experiences suggest a world and universe beyond, yet we die and everything we used to experience this dies with our body (or does it?).

We always assume we live just one life. It is possible that everything is possible and every fork is explored yet we are only aware of one path.

This is a philosophical stuff.

Philosophy - NOT amateur radio

Every now and again, I get thinking about the deeper things in life. Human consciousness really confuses me. 

We think of time flowing ever forwards. We are a mere dot in history. We are a on a small planet in the universe. Some estimates are that there are 1 trillion planets! At the moment there are almost 8 billion people alive on our planet. I do not know how many humans have ever existed.

And yet we are self aware.

Religiously, I am agnostic not knowing what I believe. We may have our whole view of the universe turned on its head in the next 100 years. 

And, of course, this is just what I experience. For you, it might be completely different!

Life, consciousness, the universe and us are real puzzles!
