      I haven’t read his theory as I’m not really into the Universe as a subject. But, I would believe anything. After I visited blackrock observatory and say how great the universe is, I was convinced that there are other people out there and that how it started – anything is possible.

      Great Q. It’s fascinating to think about, especially as we have no technology at present to simulate the early days of the universe. The Big Bang Theory is fairly well accepted at present, as is a good working model because it does explain a lot of the phenomena we can observe, but it does have some problems. I lean more towards the thought that maybe there wasn’t a precise beginning or shift between there being nothing and then something, that how the universe began might be a redundant question, a bit like ‘What is to the North of the North Pole’, but I am not sure. What do you think?
