A Universe from Nothing

Here is the link to the article.

     Einstein is truly a man of another character. His strengths were not strictly scientific as he was an outstanding philosopher, and a great bike rider. I have a fairly long list of his moral ideas which have no place here, but it is worth mentioning. I have little reaction to the excerpt because there is little science that I did not already know because I have an interest in cosmology and have done a good deal of independent research on it. I know that the universe is expanding and all that jazz that I won't get into for fear of boring the reader.
     I thought that the article was well-written. To start, it was actually an excerpt from a book. The reason I liked how it was constructed was that it pulled a generic quote out right from the start to engage the imagination of the reader. The purpose of the excerpt wasn't entirely scientific; it possessed a mysterious quality that caused the reader to want to wonder about the universe. It is encouraging the average mind to become extraordinary. It makes the reader think to further the opportunities of science. It is an advertisement that dares the reader not just to question Einstein's theories, but to come up with their own and try to prove them. Not that it will happen, but that is the beauty of it all. You are free to think whatever you would like, and the author is only there to guide your thoughts and emotions. Overall, a nice article for those who are interested in cosmology.
