Origin Of The Universe Quotes

“It is easier to believe that there was nothing before there was something than that there was something before there was nothing.”
― Julian Huxley

“String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as a little loop of vibrating string.”
― Edward Witten

“If everything must have a cause, of course, this also applies to God; if God can exist in isolation, then why not the universe?”
― Etienne Vermeersch

“Individual events. Events beyond law. Events so numerous and so uncoordinated that, flaunting their freedom from formula, they yet fabricate firm form.”
― John Archibald Wheeler

“The realization that time can behave like another direction of space means one can get rid of the problem of time having a beginning, in a similar way in which we got rid of the edge of the world.

Suppose the beginning of the universe was like the South Pole of the earth, with degrees of latitude playing the role of time.

As one moves north, the circles of constant latitude, representing the size of the universe, would expand. The universe would start as a point at the South Pole, but the South Pole is much like any other point.

To ask what happened before the beginning of the universe would become a meaningless question, because there is nothing south of the South Pole.”
― Stephen Hawking, The Grand Design

“The God of the gaps argument for God fails when a plausible scientific account for a gap in current knowledge can be given. I do not dispute that the exact nature of the origin of the universe remains a gap in scientific knowledge. But I deny that we are bereft of any conceivable way to account for that origin scientifically.”
― Victor J. Stenger, God: The Failed Hypothesis: How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist

“Like the origin of the Universe, those “ghosts” were another great unsolved mystery.”
― Neus Figueras, Lorac

“As to the statement that the Universe is Self-caused; it is only partially correct to note that the reason why the Universe exists is that it caused itself to exist. Why? The Universe is not the Universe. The Universe is Self. Self was there in the beginning. Self is here now. Self will always be. Self always is. The answer to the question - how did the Universe begin? - is Self desiring Companionship. So it is. The Big Bang was Self desiring not to be alone. The Big Bang was Self desiring Companionship. The Big Bang was Self desiring to Love and Be Loved in return. I say 'was' although it should be 'is' because 'Time Exists for Love'. All that is here is Self not wanting to be alone. It is not good to be alone. Self desires not to be alone. Self desires to negate its aloneness; its own loneliness. Self desires Companionship. It is this what the Universe is. The Universe is Self desiring Companionship aka Love. Of course, Self is undivided. Division does not exists. Division is a sensory perception created for the very purpose not to feel alone. All that is here is Self. Self Itself Is. So it is. There is only One Self calling itself the Universe. The origin of the Universe is Self. Self created itself. Self experiences itself. Self sustains itself. It would be correct to note that Self has created the environment to sustain itself this although the environment is Self. There is only One Self. Self itself is. Self always is. All that is here is Self perceiving itself as itself. At the risk of sounding repetitive: there is no division; division does not exist. Division is the fallacy of all fallacies. There where otherness is perceived is but Self perceiving itself as variegated not to feel alone. Aloneness aka loneliness is the cause why Self veils itself as Life Diversified. Life Diversified is Self experiencing itself, as Life Diversified, not to feel alone, for Companionship, for Friendship, for Love. Love is as such correctly so the meaning of Life for Life is not Life but Self desiring Love. Love is all that matters; all that matter's Love.”
― Wald Wassermann

“With the inclusion of God as origin and end of the Universe, human consciousness could ascend to the Transcendent Self, i.e., proceed to the final stage of consciousness evolution, experiential cognition of God. The whole itinerary of consciousness’ ascension to the teleological attractor could be regarded as a 'hierarchy of regress,' or the ability to be drawn back to God by dividing into individual evolving experiencers contemplating everything in creation.”
