Before the Big Bang? (Origins)

David's comment: Note the theory does not tell us 'how it all started'; back to 'why is there anything'.

Here's a simple theory: the universe never had a beginning. There has been interaction between infinite energy and matter for ever and ever. The observable section of the universe is a mere blob in eternity and infinity. Now prove that theory wrong.

> BBella: Maybe the "arrangement of the known particles and their relationship with quantum mechanics, which can be influenced by the human mind," strongly (merely?) suggests the quantum state or fabric of the universe can be influenced by conscious mind, and there is no "mind behind all of it." No great OZ behind the curtain.
