Thanks, you just threw me into a "what the fuck is existence and why does anything exist?" spiral.

The Universe: Exists
Also the Universe: Doesn't explain itself
Scientists: What in the goddamn fuck
Scientists: Tries to look for answers
The Universe: Not so fast *does everything in its power to stop the Scientists from figuring out how it all works, why it exists and is the way that it is.

Yes, but the what in the goddamn fuck is spread through so many scientific fields.

Who: biology What: chemistry When: physics Where: geology, archeology Why? Philosophy

All these fields just because the universe exists. kind of beautiful if you ask me.

One could argue that the purpose of life is self knowledge. As a part of the universe, we are driven to understand it. More recently, we know that self exploration through therapy resolves emotional traumas. Travel and exposure to other cultures tends to create compassion for them.

I like to think of life as the universe reaching out and trying to know itself

Yeah. Apparently that show has been going on for 18 seasons. 18 seasons of pseudoscience and shitty theories.
