A Soul, or A Spirit
One can easily be skeptical on this idea of the expanding force at every point in space and at every moment of time is expanding at the speed of light in all directions that moves everything! This is an intuitive understanding of Gauge Theory Symmetry in which over the past 70 years the Gauge Theory has been extremely tested, verified, made correct predictions as the most recent is the Higgs Boson, and was awarded several Nobel prizes in physics!
Gauge Theory is a mathematical structure using unphysical and physical inputs into their highly accurate equations to one in a billion accuracy! Gauge Theory symmetry is the force and formation of matter. Before this theory, science thought that particles themselves exerted forces and interactions with other particles. Gauge theory states it is the symmetry of the field that matter obeys and in which the forces are created. Matter and forces are two aspects of the same underlying structure. This structure is deeply quantum mechanical! This theory depends on unphysical degrees of freedom!
So, this expanding force, in my view, is an intuitive understanding of this mathematical Gauge Symmetry!
With our 4D expanding force that is inside us and is also inside all other living and nonliving structures and entities, is it a soul, or a spirit?
A spirit is similar to the trapped air inside a balloon, or paper bag. Once the balloon, or bag is destroyed and can no longer hold the trapped air, the trapped air dissolves into the atmosphere. Is that what happens during death that the expanding force inside of us goes back into the Universe? The spirit is then dependent and has no identity. In death, do all our memories, accomplishments, values, beliefs, and personal identity become nothing and indistinguishable from the expanding force of the Universe? Our physical body goes back to dirt. Is that what happens to our expanding force?
A soul is not a spirit, but is permanent and is independent from the expanding force of the Universe. After death, our soul continues.
Which do we have?
