Being can come from non-being

Consider the size of Earth compared to the size of the Universe.

Now consider how likely the answer to the Big Questions will be found here.

So thee visible universe is 90 billion lightyears across. That's 9*10^10 ly. One year has ~ 3*10^7 seconds, so the visible universe is 27*10^17 =2.7*10^18 lightseconds across. The earth is roughly 1/25 of a lightsecond wide, so the visible universe is about

67*10^18=6.7*10^19 earths wide. To get the fraction of the volume, we take the third power and find that the visible Universe has the volume of ~ 300*10^57 earth sized cubes and thus roughly 600*10^57=6*10^59 earths. Assuming equal distribution, the probability of finding the answer to the Big Questions on earth is therefore smaller than about 10^-60.
