But who would be as cruel to put us here without giving us those answers? Who? And where did that entity come from?

Oh that was me - I figured if I let you guys work it out for yourselves, it’d be more meaningful or whatever.

As for where I came from, I gotta admit I feel curious about that too, but mostly I’m just happy to be here. Real excited to see what you do next.

  • I believe you, could you please give me 1000 upvotes? If you do I promise to spread the good news everywhere.

There is no other entity. We're nothing. An algebra of nothing. Combine nothing with nothing in various ways (like S-terms) and it gives you physics, among many other things. From the inside we see a universe, from the outside you would see nothing.

This is why the "but the universe couldn't spawn out of nothing!" style arguments are so annoying. They completely accept that an all powerful all knowing entity could exist for all of time and not need a creator without any supporting evidence. But the origin of the universe specifically needs to be explained in detail or science is a sham.

Maybe there was no cruelty, and we were just plain matter that fell into our encapsulating black hole. Like what happenswith our own universes black holes.
