It's too bad we can't do more experiments more quickly to uncover more of the system behavior of the Big Bang black box. At least it is being done scientifically [with hypothetical components], which would require fewer experiments and would happen sooner, rather than by art, but our set of system components seems to be changing every day. Quantum fluctuation, moderated by neutrinos, inflated to an incomprehensible size, or maybe brane collision, or maybe acoustics in an unknown medium, we need more lab data. Crystallization is as complex.
Has it occured to anyone that cosmogony is basically metaphysics? Oddly inconsist with the radi cal empiricism of most scientists? When I consider how much the Hubble sees and then what it CANNOT see, I am reminded of Pascal's awe at the immensity of things.
