Prove it.

Masukuma, let me try.

Some questions are not properly 'ask-able' because the language or the premises used simply limit the kind of answer you can ever get.

The question about the origin of the Universe is one such. The premise behind this question is that the Universe exists within a space-time framework, and therefore would have an origin and an end.

The reality is different, however. Time and space are 'effects' generated by the observer (us) perhaps in an attempt to understand the Universe. The Universe does not exist within time and space and is not subject to them, in fact just the reverse.

The proof?: 'if the Universe contained only one object, there would be no time or space.' We, the observers, are the ones who interpret the relationships between different objects (and locations) as space and the one between different change events (dominated by entropy) as time.

They do NOT really exist.

The Universe therefore can not have an origin or an end. It simply 'is.'

If the answers and questions have no negotiable terms then @masukuma is right. No one has the answers. At least, I have no answers.

Hey!! Mine was on a lighter note. Where will you get the dictionaries if the people aboard UFOs have never disembarked.

An answer is a social construct, a line in a script. Thomas Kuhn shows how these scripts are written http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Kuhn

But before the script comes the dream. Answers are what we dream together and translate to symbols.
