Somewhy, I couldn't watch the TED talk, so I had to read the transcript.

When faced with the question, "Why is there something rather than nothing?" I respond with:

Why not?


or


Why are you uncomfortable with not knowing (your favourite ignorance here.)


I am certain to the point of claiming knowledge that we will never discover everything. Even if we knew everything, we couldn't know we knew everything. I Heart Godel.

I 100% accept the possibility that I will probably never know but considering I'm here is it not a fascinating topic of study?! I guess why anything really then if that's the mind set??? Might as well stare at rocks instead until I die? I think it's a great thing to focus on lol.
