Harper’s: The accidental universe - Science’s crisis of faith.
“Dramatic developments in cosmological findings and thought have led some of the world’s premier physicists to propose that our universe is only one of an enormous number of universes with wildly varying properties, and that some of the most basic features of our particular universe are indeed mere accidents—a random throw of the cosmic dice. In which case, there is no hope of ever explaining our universe’s features in terms of fundamental causes and principles.” Perhaps I’m an idiotic romantic, but I prefer the concept of an eternal mystery. So hate me, then.
