Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Now, what space ultimately is - I should confess, I think most physicists believe - we don't yet know.
Today's preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science - to question all things relentlessly. Modern physics has become like Swift's kingdom of Laputa, flying absurdly on an island above the earth and indifferent to what is beneath.
What physics tells us is that everything comes down to geometry and the interactions of elementary particles. And things can happen only if these interactions are perfectly balanced.
Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.
Physics is, hopefully, simple. Physicists are not.
To me, what makes physics physics is that experiment is intimately connected to theory. It's one whole.
Everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out.
The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works.
The whole edifice of modern physics is built up on the fundamental hypothesis of the atomic or molecular constitution of matter.
With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere.
