If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? If a planet once existed in the universe, but its light reflection depleted before human beings could measure it, did it ever actually exist? If giant stone structures exist where an old culture once lived, yet very little logical evidence of these people physically constructing them exists, did they really build them?
We simply may never know. Which brings into question, what is important and what is not, and does knowing anything other than the few things necessary to survive even matter?
As far as I'm concerned, what matters is a personal decision. If you want to search for as many answers as possible, you are free to. If you simply wish to survive and fill your time with casual fun, that's another choice.
People seem to look for answers because it tends to lead to what we call progress, things like micro processors for example. This isn't really a surprise since this seems to be what the universe and everything it has created eventually tries to accomplish in some form over time. Cramming as much information into as small and efficient a body/device as possible. Efficiency speaks for itself, no matter the underlying means and purpose. Considering life is about survival first and foremost, and the Earth will one day become inhabitable, figuring out how to leave and where to go, seems very natural in terms of wanting to learn about space and devices that can help us accomplish that.
This is why robotic AI actually makes a lot of sense. Earth is dangerous enough to humans, never mind space and beyond. A being with our intelligence or more, with non organic bodies that require non organic energy, can explore space on a level we could not even fathom. All these worries of AI robots killing off humanity is nonsense if it was given the proper design and means to leave. Why destroy humanity if it can just fly to the moon or mars etc, and build, live, and expand there? If AI can end up where some have envisioned, we may be as good as organic life get's on this planet, using robotics and AI to continue our existence for as long as living on Earth is viable.
What comes after death? Well I can't remember what I 'was before' I was born, so I'm not even going to try and comprehend what will happen after. If it matters, I have no way of factually knowing, and for all I know, it doesn't matter.
