Universe ​

Short History of Nearly Everything Book is great.

Liked this video on why cosmic inflation doesn't make much sense.

Notes ​

• Cosmological red-shift (caused by the expansion of the universe) does not conserve energy. Expanding universe is not time translation invariant, so energy is not strictly conserved.
• A human is 25 orders of magnitude smaller than the whole universe, but 35 orders of magnitude bigger than a Planck length. We're bigger than average.
• Universe & Neurons projections look very similar.
• In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
• The game of the universe is to appear as strange to itself as it possibly can - Alan Watts
