“You think the universe was always here? Douglass, everything has an origin. Maybe you're both right. Things don't get created out of nothing. Creations are made outta ingredients. Even ingredients are made out of ingredients. Think about it: Universes are made of galaxies are made of stars are made of gases are made of atoms are made of quarks are made of universes... for all we know. Cool. Maybe there's an infinite number of big bangs, each one creating a universe that forms a single quark...which interacts with other quarks to build a larger universe. And then that universe fits inside a singularity that explodes into another big bang becoming another quark. Makes sense, but... it had to start at some point, right? Why? We're all basically apes with language and clothes. Maybe we think there has to be a "start" 'cause human brains are just too primitive to comprehend infinity. "Creation" happens, but it's not a "start". It's a coming together of what always was to make what always will be. That's a lot like the "turtles all the way down".” UniverseCreationIngredientsInfinityOrigin Book:The Talk Source: The Talk
