[ WP ] A group of scientists model the formation of a universe starting with the Big Bang . However as they wind forward time , they realise that the modelled Universe is exactly the same as the real one , including versions of themselves creating the model

 It's beautiful. Everything. I can see everything. The spectacle of the universe forming. The chaos of our solar system forming. The ferocity of the dinosaurs. The chilled calming of an ice age. Humans began to take shape as our data points of history began to form into living things. And then I saw it. It was me. Eight year old me swinging a stick into the air in the wooded area by my old house. Fighting imaginary undead skeletons and ugly orcs for sure. I could n't see them, but I knew they were there. Soon I realized this one calculation has given man kind the ability to see everything yet we still know nothing about existence. 
 
 Existence is more than what's in front of you. Existence is more than an action and reaction of particles. 
 Your conscious exists. Your imagination exists. You exist. 
 
 Here I sat in front of a model of the whole existence of the universe and I only realized just now that I am the most mysterious thing in it. 
 
 As I sat there staring at the screen it came to the near present. I was there. Watching as the calculation was completed. It was time. Time for the future. 
 
 As I advanced that projection past right now my eyes grew wider. It was a blur. I zoomed out. The planet was there. The sun was there. The universe was moving. But we were a blur. Living organisms were a fuzzy streak of possible locations. Some fuzzier than others. Humans being the most obscured. The future for us was unreadable. No amount of quantum recreation could create the future of consciousness as a whole. The earth was a blurred light that soon grew into an aura like layer around the planet. This was our consciousness. We were one living thing. Our light soon expanded. First Mars, then asteroids, soon then blur moved out of the solar system. I tracked its projection for millions of years. Some locations dimmer than others. And then it ended. Just like that the light of mankinds consciousness faded into the darkness. 
 
 
 
 I sat there with disbelief and a realization that it was extinction was inevitable. I knew then that there was plenty to learn from what we have right here. Right now. But I also knew that we will never know everything. What were those planets we were on? How did we get there? Which blur of the projection will I be a part of? Does it matter? I think it does.
