Something called called the Hadron Collider is about to be put online.
It apparently had something of a glitch at its startup…but will soon be humming along just fine.
And one of the things it will be used to unravel will be questions about what the universe was like before the ‘big bang’ occurred, the event which ushered in what we know as reality.
Or which science things ushered in the big bang.
Options are many: parallel universes, multi-dimensions, big bangs, or even many ‘big bangs’.
Will such a time, the time before our ‘reality’, ever be knowable to empirical testing?
What a fascinating hope.
An age-old hope….
And if an answer ever comes to this question via this machine, whatever will humankind do with that answer?
And another question: how will mankind ever extend scientific research into the other end of an important reality: the afterlife.
How can anyone ever declare and feel that life is boring when there is so much to wonder at, marvel at, worry about, and feel all sorts of emotions over?
