It is reasonable to ask who or what created the universe, but if the answer is God, then the question has merely been deflected to that of who created God.

My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.

We are very, very small, but we are profoundly capable of very, very big things.

The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?

The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can't solve the equations, directly in the abstract.

I am discounting the reports of UFOs. Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos?

The progress of the human race in understanding the universe has established a small corner of order in an increasingly disordered universe.
