Existence: Why is there a universe?

As DOUGLAS ADAMS once wrote: "The universe is great, it is really big." But if our Big Bang theory is correct, the universe is much smaller. In fact, there is nothing to exist. About 13.7 billion years ago, time and space were born naturally. What is the matter with you?

Or, to put it another way, what is there? This is a big problem, perhaps the biggest problem. It is very difficult for the universe to think of nothing at all, making it harder to think about nothing.

From a scientific point of view, this is a very rational issue. After all, some basic physics shows you and the rest of the universe is absolutely impossible. The second law of thermodynamics, existence of physics law Most of the resonance shows that disorder or entropy tends to increase. Entropy measurement is a method of rearranging system components without changing the overall appearance. For example, molecules in a hot gas can be placed in many different ways to create the same overall temperature and pressure, making the gas a high entropy system. In contrast, you are a low entropy system because you can not reconstitute the living thing molecules to non-living things.

According to the same logic, nothing is the best entropy state - you can move as you like, it still seems nothing

Aquinas insisted that according to Aristotle's statement, there must be something to explain why the universe exists. Since it can be imagined that the universe does not exist under different circumstances - it is a coincidence - there must be a reason for its existence. And this reason can not be just another accident, it must be something that must be present. In 1714, the German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz made a similar argument against his "appropriate rational principle". "If there is no justifiable reason, we can not find facts of real existence or actual proposition, so in most cases these reasons can not be understood unless otherwise stated." Discussion: "Why Is there something more than? There is a good reason ... in the substance ... this is the reason why it is necessary for the existence of that existence. "

Discussion of cosmology can only infer the existence of God from the assertion about the entire universe. This argument is based on the statement that God must exist in order for the universe to need a cause. The existence of the universe requires explanation, which is this interpretation by positively creating the universe through the existence of the universe - usually considered to be a god. Aquinas insisted that according to Aristotle's statement, there must be something to explain why the universe exists. Since it can be imagined that the universe does not exist under different circumstances - it is a coincidence - there must be a reason for its existence. And this reason can not be just another coincidence, it must be something that must be present.
