I know this is purely ideas without facts, but the idea that the universe exploded into existence from basically nothing seems very...powerful. I'd love to hear your theories. |
My view is based on an Ancient Greek idea: there are a limited number of ways that mathematics can be formulated. This has no requirement for a creator. Physics is based on Mathematics. Therefore the Universe exists because Mathematics predicts it. The Universe is Mathematics observing itself.
there is no difference between Mathematics and reality. Separating the two is saying “reality is special”, in the same way as we used to think that the Earth was special.
