> [!custom-seed-type]- Note Details > - Growth stage: [[seed 🌱]] > - Type: #concept - The **Omega Point** is a theorized future event in which the entirety of the [universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe "Universe") spirals toward a final point of [unification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monism "Monism"). - According to Teilhard, [evolution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution "Evolution") does not end with mankind, and Earth's [biosphere](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere "Biosphere") evolved before humans existed. He described evolution as a progression that begins with inanimate matter to a future state of Divine consciousness through Earth's "hominization".[[8]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Point#cite_note-8) He also maintained that one-cell [organisms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organisms "Organisms") develop into metazoans or animals, but some of the members of this classification develop organisms with complex [nervous systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_systems "Nervous systems"). This group has the capability to acquire [intelligence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence "Intelligence"). When _[Homo sapiens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens "Homo sapiens")_ inhabited Earth through evolution, a [noosphere](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noosphere "Noosphere"), the cognitive layer of existence, was created. As evolution continues, the noosphere gains coherence. Teilhard explained that this noosphere can be moved toward or constructed to be the Omega Point or the final evolutionary stage with the help of science.[[9]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Point#cite_note-9) Teilhard refers to this process as "planetization." Eventually, the noosphere gains total dominance over the biosphere and reaches a point of complete independence from tangential energy forming a metaphysical being, called the Omega Point.[[10]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Point#cite_note-tipler-10) - ![](https://i.imgur.com/FIjZxVz.png) Sources: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Point#Technological_singularity -
