The birth of the universe
Created | Updated Mar 7, 2003
The Universe was born in an unremarkable corner of absolute nothingness, one Thursday morning at about 5.30 AM.
Not that it was known as Thursday at the time. There was no intelligent life around so early in the morning, for whom the concept of Thursday would have meant something. In fact, it was only known as Thursday on a single watery blue planet that circled an ordinary star in a more or less average sort of galaxy several billions of years after the great event. If we are going to split hairs, the term Thursday was applied to one of the days of the week for only a couple of thousand years amongst the English-speaking minority of the species homo sapiens sapiens. When life is looked at from the viewpoint of the Universe, everything is rather relative.
