Original text
If it is true from naught that something came that opens up a metaphysics view, but leaves us still without a single clue from whence that something started just the same. If it is true there once was a big pop, that in a picosecond somehow grew the stuff for zinc, and shale, and caribou then must one wonder what might make it stop. If it is true a steady state exists, (and I’m inclined to think that that is true), and gravity is not the only glue that drives the order, which so far, persists electric forces must receive their due; and we’ve no way to guess when they’ll be through.
