Thoughts on infinity

My opinion is that the quantum world defines all possibilities and actually produces them outside of any concept of time or space. For example, if we are the infinite mind, there may be no such thing as place nor time, these are factors only within one probability, say our current cosmos, and our localized human intelligence.

As far as being infinite, this seems to be an aspect of the inflationary theory, that any physicality does expand into infinity. However, that seems too limited to include intangible intelligence, which seems to be defined as already maximized, by definition, to include any imaginable reality.

I believe that infinity is an aspect of reality, and that our ability to experience infinity does exist. However, infinity cannot be totally translated into human intelligence. Perhaps the human brain is too slow.

I also believe our human locality is simply a way to keep a record of past events, which is important for humans to do. I am not discarding any aspect of humanity as unimportant; the idea of local human experiences is fine with me, and needs to be respected as well as used for wellness. I simply believe there is also an infinite mind that all humans can experience, in addition to our local human nearsighted ideas of how to define life.

I believe that human morality demands much more of us than any religion or science can ever define. I believe that morality cannot be abandoned in any way, rather it needs to be defined in some real way. Scientific and medical research is more than adequate to define a simple morality, to do no harm, to ourselves nor to others.

The problem, in my opinion, is that human existence is more complicated than the human brain can comprehend. We need to find ways to enhance the ability of humans to understand basic ideas about life. Using the scientific method is a fine start, but I think there are problems that science will never solve; to me, this means we need to define our sentient minds beyond the human experience. Maybe this is impossible, at least in our lifetime, to define and use intelligence in ways that do not depend on the limited human brain for its source.
