I say this following my recent reading of a few books and with no real authority but it really tests the mind! (well, my mind anyway).
I decided some while ago that my brain isn't even close to being big enough to comprehend the universe in any meaningful way, so I just let it get on with it while I think about much more mundane matters such as potholes and what I'm going to eat for dinner.
Do you see the correlation?
Humans are constrained by being born, living and then dying. I don't think anyone can think outside of that and I don't think anyone has a brain that can truly comprehend the 'universe'. So much of the BBT is based on multiple hypotheticals. Physics or any science holds little value when based on more than one hypothetical.
After all, the light patterns, frequencies and back ground radiation we study are so very, very old. Think that a star out there that we see may not even exist anymore.
The furthest man has been from the earth is a tiny distance and we are just presumptive, arrogant specs of dust.
The hundred of millions that Space x has cost could have been far better spent on preserving this wonderful orb. Rockets are like internal combustion engines in that they are nothing revolutionary, so the latest firework is not a leap forward in technology and in it's current form, will never allow man to travel long distances.
Watching the second space X rocket go bang is sheer poetry; a futile pursuit orchestrated by a silly man on his quest to be immortal.
I'll stop there.
Oh, I don't mind people wanting to find out - I found CERN fascinating with their quest to find stuff that particle theorists have, erm, theorised about... knowledge for the sake of knowledge, though maybe with some useful application (for instance, nuclear energy must have been born of that sort of quest). just that I know I'm too stupid to understand or care one way or another. I'm glad that there are people who have better & bigger brains that me (not least as the world would be screwed if there weren't).
Easier not to think beyond dinner. Or just not to think.

Thinking is overrated. Especially so by those who think.
Really, does anyone on here really think their thoughts matter on a world scale?The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
