Well. If you study quantum physics and the folks who found it like Max Planck, they believed in "a conscious and intelligent non-visible living energy force .. . the matrix mind of all matter".

I don't know much about multiverse, but we need something external to explain the magic we uncover.

Energy and quantum mechanics are really cool but dense to get into. Like Planck, I suspect there's a link between consciousness and matter. I also think our energy doesn't cease to exist when our human carcass expires.
