A final question of mankind: the universe? Or the egg? The Egg‚ by Andy Weir takes place in second and first person pronouns - it is a dialogue between “I” and “You”‚ with the reader being “you” in this short anecdote. It starts off with the “I” speaker‚ of the story‚ talking to us - the reader‚ that we have died in a car accident. A dialogue then ensues‚ explaining to us that we have died‚ and subsequently‚ we ask the speaker if they are god‚ to which they confirm. The dialogue continues‚ revealing

In chemistry‚ the term ‘closed system’ refers to an experiment that cannot lose or gain from outside the system. A closed system is considered an idea situation to conduct experiment and any other system would be unreliable and doubtful.

He tries to explain as to how eventually there will only be microwave radiation as everything heads towards nothing. E=MC2; sum of all the energy in this universe=0‚ therefore sum all the mass should be zero as well. He further explains as to how for every matter there is anti matter and when matter meets anti matter microwave radiation is emitted. In other words the universe is

In my opinion‚ the world was created through the Big Bang Theory. The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model that describes the early development of the Universe. According to the Big Bang theory‚ the Universe was once in an extremely hot and dense state‚ which expanded rapidly.

Another common question is how did humans come

Many evolutionists claim that the universe resulted from a gigantic explosion in outer space before there was an outer space. This

Despite existing within the single totality of the determined universe‚ the Stoic sage can achieve complete autonomy by calmly accepting external events and by concerning himself only with how he chooses to act upon what is within his power. The sage and philosopher Epictetus taught Stoicism in first-century Rome‚ and

everyday language is only a miniature: that which our intelligence has grasped from that music or harmony of the whole universe which is working behind us. The music of the universe is the background of the little picture which we call music. Our sense of music‚ our attraction to music‚ shows that music is in the depth of our being. Music is behind the working of the whole universe. Music is not only life’s greatest object‚ but music is life itself. As we are close to all this music and live and
