I happen to know the Secret Of The Universe, and I just I tried telling the folks in Hell. Alas they don't have half a brain between them, and I didn't learn much. So I'm trying again here in Heaven.

Simply, to paraphrase Galileo: "The Book Of Nature is written in the Language Of Mathematics." Hey, it worked for Newton, Maxwell, Einstein... Originally it was thought of by Pythagoras around 500 BC.

For Galileo and Newton this proved an intelligent Creator made the Universe. Alas, if you look at his "Dialogue Concerning The Two World Systems" you can see this was probably another reason why Galileo annoyed the Inquisition: He was claiming he could read the Mind Of God.

But the folks in Hell have demonstrated the real problem about the Secret Of The Universe: It's been discovered at least twice before, but people decided they weren't interested and forgot what it was.

Assuming you're right - mathematics is the secret of the universe - why does that fact matter ?

Frank, in Heaven we don't appreciate unkind references to others. Even if they are Hellions.

More saliently, with respect to my involvement, be wary of starting multiple threads about the same non-topic all around the Ship. It breaches Commandment 8, and your posts reek of troll.

You will not be warned again.

Yes. This isn't really going anywhere, and as has been said, there is a duplicate in Hell if anyone wishes to contribute to it. Thread closed.
