Does the universe have to be so fantastically wide and large to bring forth this small world with its creatures and its relatively short cultural history? The answer was, Yes, the universe had to be so immensely large to bring forth people like you and me. It had to bring forth systems of stars which in their turn had to disappear to produce the star dust from which the living beings of this world are made. You can say, This is just chance. But you can also say, I should like to know why things happened that way.
