Readers may recall that yesterday we posted a link that provoked considerable discussion: Theoretical physicist Paul Davies on the gap between life and non-life. Giving away the store, Barry Arrington said.
Well, here are Paul Davies and Robert Lawrence Kuhn again at Closer to Truth, this time on “Ultimate Questions: Do They Evolve?”
Ask the most fundamental questions; make the most penetrating inquires; probe the deep essence of existence. Push boundaries. Search the foundations of reality. Imagine all that may exist in physics and cosmology, even beyond current understanding. Then ask how such ultimate questions may change over time.
Note: If the questions are really ultimate questions, they can’t evolve. That’s what “ultimate” means: It’s the last one.
But perhaps Davies and various readers have a different view.
