Up until the 1920s, everyone thought the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time.

All the evidence shows that God was actually quite a gambler, and the universe is a great casino, where dice are thrown, and roulette wheels spin on every occasion

We think we have solved the mystery of creation. Maybe we should patent the universe and charge everyone royalties for their existence.

In such a massive place as the cosmos we only have to look at ourselves for prove that extremely unlikely things can and do happen all the time

When asked, 'What did God do before he created the universe?' St. Augustine didn´t reply, 'he was preparing Hell for people who asked such questions.' Instead, he said that time was a property of the universe that God created, and that time did not exist before the beginning of the universe.

It now appears that the way the universe began can indeed be determined, using imaginary time.
