In the beginning (if there was such a thing), God created Newton's laws of motion together with the necessary masses and forces. This is all everything beyond this follows from the development of appropriate mathematical methods by means of deduction.

Even a fool is wise after an event.
Albert Einstein
Image
I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.

Despite my being an old gypsy there is a tendency to respectability inherent in old age.

Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
