On the largest scale, everything is flying apart, a cosmic divorce dictated by the

In fact, much conceptual language has promoted a disconnected view

Everyone wishes there was a sweet afterlife, but something like that doesn't just happen on it's own like

I double dare you but in all honesty I think you would have a more productive time if you tried to make a
model of the universe using only spaghetti hoops.
If so, this would be in clear contradiction with modern scientific theories on the origin
of the universe which places the creation of the sun before vegetation.
His point was that science can not accurately predict all possible scenarios of any situation, and that the natural

Just as humanity can not envision exactly how the universe came to be, a computer simulation can not recreate the
birth of the universe in a literal sense.
There would be no way to predict the existence of such a stranger from the
