For many, many years, attempting to explain the formation of the universe and the evolution into life was an act of futility. We’ve covered many theories regarding the creation of the Earth, Solar System, and universe at large, combining both statistical astrophysics and hypothetical thinking to determine the most likely cause of our being.

What we haven’t fully dissected, however, is a theory that stems a little bit from various ideas, all coming together to form the Boltzmann brain. What exactly is the Boltzmann brain? On the surface it’s nothing more than one in a countless pool of thought experiments. But when you pick the concept apart, it’s the spur to a fascinating conversation about the potential of our universe’s past, present, and future. Let’s dive deeper into the Boltzmann brain…
