I never cared much for Hawking. Perhaps it's because listening to him try to communicate is uncomfortable. Perhaps I'm way too much of a rube to understand what smart people understand even if they don't know.
The concept of the Big Bang is way more than fascinating. People who understand it...sort of...say it was neither big nor loud. They describe where we were before the Big Bang, again, without the ability to comprehend it. I always wondered what surrounded that microscopic speck that banged into everything we see.
I always wondered what got it started.
This is an area where Hawking's understanding and mine are about equal.
His explanation is, "That isn't important. Therefore it requires no explanation." His answer to why the Big Bang banged is, "Becuz." Maybe I missed something.
There is a permutation of a line from Air America, one of the great lines in the history of moviedom. It goes something like this: I'm sixty-four yeare old, and so far I haven't figured out anything.
that is a great line. I have a new hypothesis that most adults are really not adults but just children with an older age. How quickly can you learn and grow in 40 years in a universe that’s been around 13 billion years? none of us know what the hell happened lol. I’m betting on that it was God and He sent His Son to save us. If I’m wrong I’ll be dead and I won’t know I was wrong lol
