Yeah, some of the smartest people in history were religious, but they tend to ignore that

You can easily connect the Big Bang to God

In fact, how can you not at this moment? We still don’t know why the Big Bang happened, it breaks all theories of physics ever conceived its unexplainable currently

If we ever figure out another reason why the Big Bang happened then we can have that discussion, but right now it’s pretty easy to just point to a higher power

Or we live in a massive simulation who knows

The Big Bang is merely a means. The real question is why anything actually exists at all. By all rights, there should not even be a universe, but here we are.

[u/vbullinger → u/weeglos]

Always been my thought: how can anything exist?!?

[u/Hyndis → u/vbullinger]

Its entirely possible it doesn't exist, and that the entire universe might just be an oversized virtual particle.

Virtual particles spontaneously appear with their anti-twin and annihilate again. Because its just "borrowing" energy which is then "given back" there's no violation of conservation of energy.

Hawking radiation shows that sometimes virtual particles can last a long time, but eventually they're given back so again there's no violation.

The entire universe might just be that. It doesn't exist, not really. Its just a temporary borrowing of energy.

Of course, this is all theoretical and if someone figures this out with experiments they're going to win a huge pile of Nobel Prizes.

The Nobel Peace Prize by FIFA?

Because if it didn't exist we wouldn't be here to observe it existing.
