Though it only aired for two seasons, the classic 1980s cartoon series HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE remains a nostalgic favorite of anyone who grew up in the Reagan era. Originally created to sell a line of action figures, the syndicated series transcended its toy tie-in roots with imaginative storytelling, hand-drawn animation, and an adroit blend of action, fantasy, and science-fiction.

The series follows the mythical adventures of a mild-mannered royal whose magic sword transforms him into a loinclothed, Prince Valiant-coiffed muscleman known as He-Man, the most powerful being in the universe. Together with a loyal band of followers that includes his pet tiger Cringer, man-at-arms Duncan, beautiful captain-of-the-guards Teela, the cloaked floating magician Orko, and his winged mentor Sorceress, He-Man fights to protect the magically-powered Castle Greyskull from the evil clutches of his skull-faced nemesis Skeletor, who presides over his own army of supervillains. This collection chronicles He-Man and Skeletor’s epic battles with the first 33 episodes of season one.

We live in this system or universe and yet we have no idea what it really is? Is the scientific definition of universe is right. That we are made of atoms, electrons, etc. I believe it is most likely to be right.
But can we completely reject other definitons of Cosmos such as Religious definition ( A loving GOD, heaven, hell, after life, etc.). Or some un conventional definitions that this universe is a matrix? And we are nothing but programmes with some autonomous consciousness. What are your views on this?

The universe is not a "creation" at all. It has always existed.

It exists as a hyperspherical region approximately 90 billion light years in circumference. It operates according to a number of natural laws, and consists of a finite, unbounded volume containing a finite number of energy particles, which interact and form qualitatively different forms such as matter according to the laws of physics.

"But can we completely reject other definitons of Cosmos such as Religious definition ( A loving GOD, heaven, hell, after life, etc.). Or some un conventional definitions that this universe is a matrix?"

We can reject all of those proposals, because the evidence for all of them is exactly zero.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re *not* true. There *could* be a God, just like we *could* be living in the Matrix. But until there is evidence to support such an idea, there’s no reason to think it’s true.

"And we are nothing but programmes with some autonomous consciousness. What are your views on this?"

We exist as free-willed sentient beings. Nondeterministic matter/energy systems (life) and emergent properties (sentience) are qualities inherently allowed by the laws of nature, and arise as a result of the interaction of matter and energy in complex ways.

Things like emergent properties and subjective qualia *may* exist as manifestations on some transcendent level of reality, but they are still completely natural systems that exist and act entirely according to natural laws and principles. There is no evidence whatsoever that anything supernatural exists.
