Стивен Хокинг, как всегда, совершенно изумителен:
Because there is a law such as gravity[1], the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist
прямо в точку:
It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going.
оно и верно, к чему тут Б-г, если даже мы вот-вот[2] справимся:
The fact that we human beings – who are ourselves mere collections of fundamental particles of nature – have been able to come this close to an understanding of the laws governing us and our universe is a great triumph.
заодно и видео, кстати.
