The Universe

[henness...@hotmail.com]

Martin Rees, Britain’s Astronomer Royal, believes that there are many
universes, possibly an infinite number, each with different attributes,
in different combinations, and that we simply live in the one that
combines things in the way that allows us to exist.

One notion is that perhaps (…) ours is just one of an eternal cycle
of expanding and collapsing universes, like the bladder on an oxygen
machine.

(…) it may be that space and time had some other forms altogether
before the Big Bang - forms too alien for us to imagine – and that
the Big Bang represents some sort of transitional phase, when the
universe went from a form we can’t understand to one we almost can.

It cannot be said too often: all life is one. That is, and I suspect
will for ever prove to be, the most profound true statement there is.

Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything, pages 30, 32, 34,
501.

In answer to the question of why it happened, I offer the modest
proposal that our universe is simply one of those things which happen
from time to time.

Edward P Tryon, Columbia University.

The universe is not only queerer than we suppose, it is queerer than we
can suppose.

J.B.S. Haldane.

These are very close to religious questions.
