Three scientists, Papaia, Banani, Ravioli, and their assistant Igor, are on a plane heading to the famous dark matter conference\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the flight, Banani finds a very interesting book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are on the plane, where Ravioli and Banani are discussing the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Are you still reading that book?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Yes, I\u2019m going deeper into point 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: The one that says everything that begins to exist has a cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Yes, exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: I think it speaks for itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Yes, but there are some details. For example, what do we mean by \u201cbeginning to exist\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Seems obvious to me. Something that wasn\u2019t there before is there now. Like a table or a chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Yes, but isn\u2019t a table or a chair just a collection of components that we assemble to get the final result? How can we say that the table and the chair begin to exist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Bah! In the end, it’s just wordplay. The table and the chair existed before too, just in the form of unassembled pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Exactly, but in any case, the pieces need someone to assemble them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: And that\u2019s our cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Exactly. That\u2019s why we say that everything that begins to exist needs a cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Like I said, I don\u2019t see any problems with this point. It\u2019s obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: The thing I really don\u2019t understand, and that remains a mystery, is why we keep following Papaia at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, wait! Never mind\u2026 It\u2019s simple! It\u2019s because he\u2019s always the one who pays!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
