So a friend and I are having an interesting conversation. We both seem to believe in the Big Bang Theory, which I feel is more believeable than a deity. But where did the materials that caused the Big Bang come from? Then before that?
This implies that there has been an infinite cycle of Big Bangs and Crunches throughout time. But is there a beginning or an end to time?
We're both math nerds, in essence, and both hate the idea of infinity, imaginary numbers and neverending numbers. But the idea of a deity seems just as irrational to us.
So if there was an infinite cycle of Big Bangs and Crunches, the was there ever a beginning? Will there ever be an end?
In the human scheme of things, us humans make up 1/10 Billion. In the cosmic scheme, we are 1/infinity. In math, that is considered zero.
So, if we assume that at one point there was nothing: no space, time, matter, anything.....then how did something get there to create anything? And you can't assume what happened and know whether it's correct or not. So, this implies that you can't know anything about anything, pretty much. We are nothing in the grand scheme. And does anyone know what the grand scheme of things is? Of course not. And if anyone does, then they aren't able to share for whatever reason. Maybe that's what's wrong with society. The people who are aware of the grand scheme of thing are considered mentally disabled. I've always had a hunch that they were smarter than anyone thought. Maybe we should give them more credit. It may be worthwhile.
