Thank you, glad to be here.

Quote:A question: Why does it matter that there is nobody to prove the cosmos exists if there is nobody in the first place?

That is exactly my point. Without anyone in it, all the universe would be is a useless place in which everything that happened within wouldn't matter because the universe would end in blackness for eternity (or repeat the process for eternity) and the time that all takes to happen would also be meaningless. There would be no point to the passage of time.
