if you want to know what it's like
inside a black
hole look
around but we don't yet know whether the
universe is open or closed more than
that there are a few astronomers who
doubt that the red shift of distant
galaxies is due to the Doppler effect
who are skeptical about the expanding
universe and the Big Bang perhaps our
descendants will regard our present
ignorance with a as much sympathy as we
feel to the ancients for not knowing
whether the Earth went around the
Sun if the general picture however of a
big bang followed by an expanding
universe is correct what happened before
that was the universe devoid of all
matter and then the matter suddenly
somehow created how did that happen in
many cultures the customary answer is
that a God or Gods created the universe
out of nothing but if we wish to pursue
this question courageously we must of
course ask the next question where did
God come from if we decide that this is
an unanswerable question why not save a
step and conclude that the origin of the
universe is an unanswerable question or
if we say that God always existed why
not save a step and conclude that the
Universe always existed that there's no
need need for a creation it was always
here these are not easy questions
cosmology brings us face to face with
the deepest Mysteries with questions
that were once treated only in religion
and
myth
