Cosmological Alpha, Deep Time, and the Simulation Hypothesis
by Alex M. Vikoulov 
"The most incomprehensible thing about the Universe is that it is comprehensible." —Albert Einstein
While speaking of our origins, most people usually envision origination in time, in linear time to be exact, notably in the deep past. In purely scientific terms, we can trace our lineage from the cosmological Alpha point of the Big Bang, through the advent of the first prokaryotic lifeforms, to the emergence of primordial mammals, the initial hominids, the early human species, and ultimately, the formation of ancient civilizations. The origin story varies considerably depending on the specific scientific or philosophical perspective one elects to adopt.
Scientific inquiry into our origins encompasses not only the physical manifestations of the Universe but also the informational structures underpinning its laws and phenomena. In contemporary scientific discourse, there is an increasing focus on understanding how fundamental physical constants and laws have dictated the evolutionary trajectories from the Big Bang to present-day complexities. The interplay between fundamental forces and the constants of Nature illustrates a finely-tuned universe, with parameters so precise that slight variations could preclude the existence of life as we know it.
The Universe encompasses an astonishing range of 63 orders of magnitude, but this vast scope was not always so expansive. Rewind over 13 billion years, and there was a time when the scale of the universe compressed to a single order of magnitude. As the cosmos has stretched and light has traveled across time and space, each incremental expansion has revealed new scales, introducing layers of complexity and novelty. ...
