We ask. You don't. You think you know the answer.
Take the law of conservation of charge: we've been asking since Emmy Noether where it comes from. And it appears it's not a 'law given by a law-giver', it's a consequence of symmetry.
Hello there, dear RWP!!! So good to see you! (Really missed you a lot.)
WRT the above: the symmetry of what, to what? How is there symmetry in the universe to begin with -- especially if we assume a chaotic initial state? How does one get from chaos to symmetry?
The word symmetry has Greek roots: syn (according to) + metron (measure). We are speaking of the beauty of form arising from balanced proportions. How can this sort of thing be an accidental production? What is the "measure," and where does it come from?
I just get the impression that Dawkins, et al., are severely editing down the universe by editing out significant portions of its total reality. FWIW
Thanks for writing, RWP!
