Julian Gough是一位多才多艺的作家，他不仅是儿童文学作家、小说家、剧作家和诗人，还参与了《我的世界》的创作。他目前正在Substack上公开创作《蛋与岩石》，试图重新描述宇宙，认为宇宙并非随机、无目的的物质集合，而是一个有生命、不断进化的有机体。他探讨了人类进化与人造黑洞的关系，揭示了唯物主义科学的潜在危机，并提出了关于地下冰外星生命的可能性。这次访谈深入探讨了宇宙学、生命和意识等深刻问题，引人深思。

✍️ Julian Gough认为宇宙并非是无生命的物质集合，而是一个有生命、不断进化的有机体，他试图通过《蛋与岩石》一书重新描述宇宙。

🔬 他指出唯物主义科学存在潜在的危机，认为科学方法与人类本性存在冲突，并质疑了宇宙学的核心假设。

🕳️ Julian Gough认为人类的进化可能导向人造黑洞的产生，并预测宇宙中存在大量的生命，包括地下冰外星生命。

🌌 他从宇宙学角度出发，探讨了大爆炸、超大质量黑洞和达尔文进化之间的关系，提出了宇宙自然选择的观点。

💡 他还尝试将意识引入物理学领域，并探讨了宇宙的奥秘和人类在宇宙中的地位。

Julian Gough sums up his career as follows: “I just sit in my room and write.”

Well, I think being an acclaimed children’s author, novelist, stage playwright, poet and top-ten Irish musician is a little more impressive than he’s letting on…

Oh, and I didn’t even mention that he wrote the ending to the computer game Minecraft!

His current project, The Egg and The Rock, puts all of this to shame. This book, which Julian is writing in public on Substack, seeks to do no less than redescribe the universe, arguing that is not some random, dead, purposeless sack of chemicals, but instead a living, evolving organism.

Julian joins me to discuss why the arc of human evolution bends towards man-made black holes, the hidden catastrophe at the heart of materialist science, the strange life of subterranean ice aliens, and MUCH more!

This was such an interesting conversation - I can’t wait for you to hear it. For the full transcript, episode takeaways, and bucketloads of other goodies designed to make you go, “Hmm, that’s interesting!”, check out our Substack.
