Three scientists, Papaia, Banani, Ravioli, and their assistant Igor, were supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference, but they took the wrong flight and ended up on the other side of the world. During the flight, Banani found a very interesting book.
At the airport, Ravioli and Banani are discussing the book.
Ravioli: Are you still reading?
Banani: “Listen to these five points:
- Everything that begins to exist has a cause.
- The universe began to exist.
- Therefore, the universe has a cause.
- If the universe has a cause, then there exists an uncaused personal Creator of the universe who, without the universe, is beginningless, immutable, immaterial, timeless, spaceless, and enormously powerful.
- Therefore, an uncaused personal Creator of the universe exists, who, without the universe, is beginningless, immutable, immaterial, timeless, spaceless, and enormously powerful.”
Ravioli: We’ve seen that there’s not much to object to the first point.
Banani: Personally, I’ve thought of some exceptions.
Ravioli: Like what?
Banani: For example, let’s say there’s a tiny particle that just pops into existence for no reason. No one would notice, and the first point would be false!
Ravioli: That’s true, I hadn’t thought about that. And I think I’ve even heard something similar in a science documentary.
Papaia: A particle appearing out of nowhere? Well, that would be a big problem… if physics actually worked that way.
Banani: Says who? Maybe, in the chaos of the universe, something can just pop out of nothing!
Papaia: Actually, the “nothing” you’re thinking of isn’t truly absolute nothingness—it’s a quantum vacuum, which is still something. If absolute nothingness really existed, it couldn’t generate anything.
Banani: So my spontaneous particle can’t exist?
Papaia: Exactly. And even if it could, it wouldn’t be an exception to the principle, because we’d still need an explanation for the mechanism that made it appear.
Igor: If it makes you feel any better, Banani, I also keep hoping my wallet will fill up out of nowhere…
🤣🤣🤣
But physics keeps disappointing me!
🤣🤣🤣
