        I like your youtube video about the big bang, it’s a elegant compromise between the cyclic model and accelerating expansion.

        The r/philosophy subreddit is quite bad, though r/askphilosophy is quite good (and has a few professionals, and many grad students).

        One thing I've learned is that web-chats are good for History, but they're weak for learning about Physics.

        Your philosophical approach was removed from consideration with your publication of Evolution of Hormone-Receptor Complexity by Molecular Exploitation http://science.sciencemag.org/content/312/5770/97 … The fixation of the amino acid substitutions is food energy-dependent and biophysically constrained.

        See for comparison: "Subatomic" https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/207910/subatomic-atom-building-game … If you start with the creation of energy, you will know learn why there is something instead of nothing. (Energy biophysically constrains viral latency.)
