77. Science doesn't go back that far

Fri Oct 19, 2018, 03:25 PM

Oct 2018

Quite honestly, science as it approaches the Bang, doesn't really know much. Most theories of the Bang don't really understand what was before the bang. There is rarely any real conflict because since we don't really know any knowledge prior to the bang, almost anything is possible. I will also point out that except for astrophysicist, there is very little reason to care. We are here, we are, what do we choose to do?
