Hehe yeah.. For me, its just inverted search for the God. There must be somethink behind it, if its not God, then it must be simulation! Kinda sad, I would expect more from scientist.

The big riddle of Universe is, how all that matter loves to organize itself, from basic particles to Atoms, basic molecues, structured molecues, things and finally live.. Probably unsolvable, but that doesnt mean we shouldnt research and ask questions...

Isn't that 'just' the laws of nature + the 2nd law of thermodynamics? Life is the ultimate increaser of entropy, because for all the order we create we just create more disorder.

Conway's game of life has very simple rules (laws of nature) and it ends up very complex. The universe doing the same thing with much more complicated rules seems pretty natural.

For me the biggest riddle is: why something instead of nothing ?

That's the question that prevent me from being atheist and shift me to agnosticism.

> The big riddle of Universe is, how

A lot of people are more interested in the Why of the Universe than the How, though.

How is an implementation detail, Why is "profound". At least that's how I think most people look at it.

You expect scientists to not ask :‘what is behind all this?’
