Three scientists, Papaia, Banani, Ravioli, and their assistant Igor, are heading to the famous dark matter conference. During the flight, Banani finds a very interesting book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re on the plane, where Ravioli and Banani are discussing the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: And how does the author prove it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: First, we need to say that everything that begins to exist has a cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: That seems obvious. It\u2019s the principle of cause and effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: But we know that the universe also has a beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Yes, that\u2019s what we work on every day at the observatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: So then, the universe must also have a cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Yes, isn\u2019t the cause the singularity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: If you think about it, according to the model, the singularity is still the universe, but in a different state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Yes, and so?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Saying \u201csingularity,\u201d or saying \u201cuniverse,\u201d is the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Actually, yes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: So then even the singularity, if it ever existed, would need a cause to begin to exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Obviously. So what\u2019s the cause of the singularity? A quantum fluctuation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: What I\u2019m trying to explain to you is that even if it were, the quantum fluctuation would, at some point, begin to exist, and therefore would need an explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: But then we go on infinitely, without ever finding one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Exactly! And that\u2019s why we need an initial cause that doesn\u2019t begin to exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: How can something not begin to exist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: It must be something that has always existed and always will exist, and from which everything begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Exactly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: Something that has no beginning? I don\u2019t know any answer other than our Creator. But now, I do know one thing that has no end\u2026 Ravioli\u2019s questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
