Ah, technology and I have a love-hate relationship! I poured my heart into this article on WordPress, only to see it disappear in a blink when I tried to edit it. But as life has taught me, sometimes the universe nudges us to start fresh and speak straight from the heart. So here I am, ready to share my thoughts with you, just as I would with a dear friend.

Where does the term “transhumanism” come from?

The word ‘transhumanism’ has its own little adventure! It first came to life in 1957 through Julian Huxley, a British biologist and philosopher. He used it as the title for an article that sparked the imagination of many, myself included. Isn’t it fascinating how a single word can open doors to whole new ways of thinking?

To me, transhumanism feels like a movement searching for meaning in all the wrong places. It leans heavily on the idea of evolution, often leaving out the spiritual spark that makes us truly human. While some are eager to enhance our minds and bodies with technology, I wonder if they might be missing the deeper magic of our human experience—the part that can’t be measured or upgraded by machines.

Isn’t it one of the universe’s great riddles that we see our world as made of matter, not antimatter? Antimatter has always tickled my imagination, like a shadow twin dancing just out of sight. It’s as if the universe is playing a cosmic game of hide and seek, with matter and antimatter as mirror images—almost like identical twins, but with their own unique quirks.

Now, I am no scientist, but my intuition often whispers wild ideas to me. What if our physical world is just a reflection of an antimatter reality? This thought has woven itself into my stories, where I imagine mysteries unfolding at CERN and portals opening to universes made of pure possibility. Sometimes, I feel like a cosmic detective, following clues that lead me deeper into the unknown.

My journey with the idea of an antimatter universe began back in the eighties, when I stumbled upon ‘The Twelve Planets Speak’ by Carl van Vlierden. That book planted a seed of wonder in me that still grows today. Scientists talk about antimatter as if it’s just another puzzle piece, but I can’t help but feel there’s a deeper story—why does matter need its opposite, like a dance partner in the cosmic waltz? Even in the world of virtual reality, it seems that for every bit of matter, there’s a shadow of antimatter waiting in the wings.

In the end, the idea of a digital matrix growing and growing, maybe even becoming something like Asimov’s universal machine, seems almost certain. Or is it? I like to leave room for mystery, for the unexpected twists that remind us the universe is always more magical than we imagine.

Thanks for reading my questioning mind.
