My point about time and space being compressed into a singularity is this:

Then, design and purpose become sort of moot.

We can take a violin and put it in a case and keep it there for years. Perhaps in times to come, somebody might look at it and ask "What is the purpose?"

And no words could ever tell him. As long as the violin remains in the case, it cold never be truly understood.

But if the fellow hears the music even once, just once, it becomes clear. And it is an understanding that words or science can never convey.

So the purpose is in the doing, not in the being.

Been watching movies all week, my local vid store is getting rid of all the VHS, now, it's "The Rainmaker" with Katherine Hepburn and Burt Lancaster. One of the most underrated films of all time, I love this movie!
