A Nihilistic view of the Universe where life has no real meaning and humans are not that important. Stephen Watson argues the Big Bang Theory is false and the Universe is actually infinite with no beginning or end. The Steady State Theory or Big Crunch are closer to the truth. Life in the Universe comes and goes and will continue to go on without us because of its infinite nature. There may be more beings like us, more Earth-like planets, A cycle that repeats over and over again with no end. Nothing is truly innovative and nothing is truly original. Things only change and become the same again under the right conditions. The bottom line is nothing you do matters in the grand scheme of things. The second half of the book looks at the paranormal. The end of the book argues do what feels natural as a human being. Knowing the true meaning of the Universe should not affect your daily life or cultural traditions if It makes you happy. It also helps others who have regrets get a load off their shoulder. In the end life had little meaning anyway. Tragedy, triumph, happiness and sadness, feelings of camaraderie or patriotism come and go throughout time and will continue to do so with another species, and another species with no end in sight. Even time is a limited perception since the Universe is infinite as our own world will be forgotten as all things are recycled through black holes and start new again. The Universe is comprised of energy that will become matter, stars, biological beings, fossils, and dust again.
