We're life's energizer bunny. We're the fuel that lasts and reproduces in such quantities that we'll keep lasting.

Imagine that there was 'nothing' in the beginning. If there's nothing, dimensions such as latitude, height and even time are meaningless and impossible to seperate from eachother. Nothing chances, nothing's distinguishable ( ehr,.. is that a word ? ). In other words: time etc. doesnt exist.
However, as soon as you put a point into that whole lot of 'nothing', suddenly all sorts of dimensions spring to life. We've got a starting point from which to measure distance, height .. change introduces the passing of time.

But the only way to have all that, is for someone to observe there -is- something. As the quantum-theory has already proven that 'measuring' or 'seeing' something defines its state ( Schrodinger's cat -experiment ), you could say we are the things that keep life alive. We define the world around us, our consciousness shapes the world and allowes for dimensions.

So either life is the universe's fuel, or I'm just being very egocentric in thinking that everything evolves around us [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Either way, it makes for an original story.
