A point to ponder on... [14 Mar 2005|04:50pm]
[ mood | listless ]

Even if there is only one possible unified theory of the universe it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? The usual approach of science, of constructing a mathematical model, cannot answer the question of why there should be a universe for the model to describe in the first place. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing? Is the unified theory so compelling that it brings about its own existence? Or does it need a creator and, if so, does he have any other effect on the universe? And who created him?

~ Stephen Hawking


If them *gods* are still wondering then I, mere mortal, give it up as a lost cause...
