The most important question of all is also one of the most neglected. The list below includes what are, to the best of my knowledge, the only scholarly writings in the contemporary literature that directly address the question of why the universe exists. (That question includes two sub-questio...
Where do we come from? Are we merely a cluster of elementary particles in a gigantic world receptacle? And what does it all mean? In this highly original new book, the philosopher Markus Gabriel challenges our notion of what exists and what it means to exist. He questions the idea that ...
While I must admit that I find his sketch compelling in many ways, there are problems and paradoxes lurking in the very idea that one could explain why the world exists. In the case of Pearce 's proposal, the explanation takes the form of showing that there is (in a sense) nothing to...
The quest for answers on why the world exists to begin with «on:September 03, 2012, 10:05:49 PM » Although many thinkers through the ages had pondered what the world is made of, it wasn’t until 1714 that the specter of non-being was raised by the German mathematician and philo...

The Laws of the Rulial UniverseAs we work towards the question of why the universe exists, we need to talk about another formal, scientific result. We said above that our underlying rule is used wherever it applies in the hypergraph. And that doing this gives us a structure that w...

Indeed, this imbalance still exists today, with matter outweighing antimatter particles by around 1 billion to one. Scientists are desperate to know what mechanism in the early universe led to this dominance of matter. So far, they’ve only observed the matter-antimatter symmetry breaking on very...
The fact that there is no light frequency or wavelength that corresponds to what we see as pink led to the striking headline inTimemagazine stating that scientists aren’t sure if pink exists. For the record, though, scientists know a great deal about light and about how we perceive it. We...
An age-old proposal that to be is to be a unity, or what I call a grouping, is updated and applied to the question “Why is there something rather than nothing?” (WSRTN). I propose the straight-forward idea that a thing exists if it is a grouping which ties zero or...
