Our Cosmic Origins Paul Dejillas

Foreword Yes, the Cosmos is our home. Its magnificence still displays its beauty and grandeur that incessantly bewilder us showering us with its abundance while at the same time depriving us of it, even frightening us with its rage that can instantly obliterate its creation, including us humanity. What is this world we call our home? What is it in us that deserve both its fury and glory? What is our place in it? The Cosmos we inhabit continues to baffle us as it did to our ancestors millions of years ago. Did we really originate from the chance fusion of atoms and molecules that produced the chimpanzees, from which species we came from? If so, what makes us different from them? What makes us humans? I take off from the materialist perspective of quantum physics branching out to other disciplines, cognizant of its relevance to explain our origins beginning from the elements of atoms and molecules that produced other larger-scale structures, including us humans. I realize that quantum physics can serve as the foundation that can connect to all the other sciences like, biology, chemistry, neuroscience, cosmology, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, and theology. Quantum physics can even stand as the most likely candidate to link and integrate isolated studies about our origins in one coherent fashion. Concerns about our origins have not only come from the province of quantum physics. I make use of the theories and findings of other studies, trying not to deviate from the standards and rigor of quantum physics. ### (more inside)
