This is what physicist Max Planck (the father of quantum mechanics), Einstein, and others observed: No matter how much you know, there is an infinite amount of chance and randomness in the universe.

Einstein showed that gravity is a manifestation of warped spacetime. Holography goes further and postulates that warped spacetime is woven from quantum entanglement.

Grand unification and its even grander super-extensions all point to the stunning conclusion that the relative strengths of the particle forces, the masses and species of particles, and perhaps even the mere existence of matter and forces aren’t mathematical truths carved in stone but fossil relics of an ancient and largely hidden epoch of evolutio

Hubczejak note avec justesse que le plus grand mérite de Djerzinski n'est pas d'avoir su dépasser le concept de liberté individuelle (car ce concept était déjà largement dévalué à son époque, et chacun reconnaissait au moins tacitement qu'il ne pouvait servir de base à aucun progrès humain), mais d'avoir su, par le biais d'interprétations il est vr

It is important to realize that every electron in the universe is absolutely identical to every other electron, and the same goes for every proton and every neutron. As we have seen, electrons are elementary particles, which means that they are not made up of any other, smaller particles (see p5). Protons and neutrons are not elementary particles:

Whereas multiverse cosmology presumes the stable backdrop of an eternally inflating space in which everything happens, the no-boundary proposal holds that quantum mechanics becomes so fundamentally important in the very early universe that it washes out even that backdrop—the very fabric of spacetime.

Sadly, however, the intrinsic spread of the no-boundary wave isn’t nearly broad enough to cover any of the habitable universes with a strong surge of inflation.

In recent years we have discovered that all mass is made of tiny particles and that there are several kinds of interactions, such as nuclear forces, etc. None of these nuclear or electrical forces has yet been found to explain gravitation.
