The Myth of the Big Bang

"We have this mythology that at the Big Bang, what you were looking at was totally mindless objects," he says. "That attitude is very pervasive as a kind of reflex, or just natural now way of thinking about the world" The comedian Sarah Silverman said we're all just molecules, and we're hurtling through space right now; it's not an accurate way of describing the Big Bang,. But our kind of casual assumptions are more in line with the evidence than any other view."
