We're just an agitation

I don't particularly like time but it's the tether that binds our very beings to this shell we're in as we voyage through almost 3 million kilometers of space every day. I've always been profoundly interested in our growing understanding of gravity because of how deeply it's tied to our understanding of the universe we're citizens of. When I read books like The Forever War and see films like Voices Of A Distant Star it really blows my mind how the creators understood the nature of gravity so well, how incredibly, immensely insignificant we and our notion of time as it exists on earth is in the grand scheme. The sparks of humanity they infused in their works never fail to leave me in awe at how we continue to persevere as a race in a rough neighbourhood (our solar system and space in general) that is so close to us that it touches us every day when the sun shines and every night when the starts come out but so distant that if we were to travel out into it, it would take so many lifetimes to truly see and understand that it would be entirely pointless for a human to even attempt. We might be heading toward entropy individually, but I live in hope that we aren't heading there collectively.

Our entire goal in life is to go to entropy. We are just a vibration in the universe, with equal and opposite agitations around us. We excite, the vibration wanes and we cease to exist. Time is meaningless!

But isn't life a limited bubble that counter-veils entropy, allowing for the development of the complex patterns necessary for the universe to develop some sort of consciousness of itself? And the even if the experience of time is limited to this bubble of consciousness, doesn't it seem likely that the progression of time is closely linked to the general increase of entropy for bounded physical systems (the latter of which giving physical interactions their directionality)?

Life is an explosion within an explosion, all of which is cascading toward entropy. Consciousness is the limited amount of time we have to figure shit out before it all cools off and spans out into an endless sea of impotent gravity.
 
Who has time to think about this mess... I've got to get to work on time!!
 
entropy may be my destination, but it sure as shit aint my goal. i don't wanna go there, i hear the clubs are shit.
