During this chapter I thought that my childhood questions might be solved. Who didn’t as himself when was little of how big was the universe? Or when does it started? All this kind of questions made me put extra attention to this chapter. When I read I realized that Saavatar states more questions than dots, so I asked myself, if we can see it why we can’t understand it? During this chapter saavatar focuses on three mayor questions, that we will see it one by one next.
The first question Saavatar addresses is how big is the universe? There are two options. One that is a finite universe or infinite. The main problem with the first is that if it’s a finite world it should come to a stop. Imagine for example a wall but then we will ask, what is on the other side of the wall? And so one, because as long as there’s something there is also a space. The other option is that is infinite. The main problem of this is very simple. Can we imagine an infinite universe? What I thing that might be a possibility is that we are like a sphere or a circle, so it never ends.
The second question saavatar addresses is. Is there an order in the universe? This question is kind of tricky because we perceive the universe around us in an order, but like saavatar says “my mess was order to me” so the next question we have is: what is order? Then we ask ourselves again: does the universe have an order? The most important thing we need to ask ourselves is in reference to what? If the person changes, the reference changes and the order changes too. So in reference to me for example the universe is order but perhaps to an astronomer it is a total chaos.
The third and last question is how did the universe started? This is a kind of question that is very probable we will never know, but there are two ways to analyze this one is religious and the other is scientific. According to science, the universe was created by the big ban theory. The big problem is where does the thing called the big ban come from? Where did it start? The other form of analyzing this question is by religion. The people with a religion say that god created the universe. The problem with this is that we don’t know where god came from, and how did he created it?
My conclusion to this problem is that knowing the answer to these questions practically would get us to know the universe itself. No one has ever arrived to satisfactory theory about the universe, about its origin, size, or order and this is why it frustrates us sometimes. Can there be an answer to these questions? Are we someday able to answer them?
