This page is intended to provide a guided reading list to help navigate my articles on existence. These articles are meant to provide an understanding of the answers to questions such as the following:
- “Why is there something rather than nothing?”
- “Why is there anything at all?”
- “Why does the universe exist?”
*(My answer to the question of existence is now codified in a new book entitled Existence Solved: The Origin of the Universe and the Laws of Physics.)
If you have never wondered about any of these questions, or if you want to refresh your sense of wonder about it, then I recommend reading my first article on existence, Why is there Something rather than Nothing?
Now that you’ve at least wondered about it, it’s time to start studying the answer. But first, we have to really understand the meaning of the question we’re trying to answer. My next post, The Meaning of Existence, clarifies the definition of the word “existence.”
With a clear understanding of the meaning of existence, we can now answer the fundamental question. In The Origin of Physical Existence, we will discover how the existence of the physical universe arises from a foundation of absolute truth.
So we have the answer! Now what? A lot of knowledge can follow from the answer to the fundamental question. A brief overview of what follows is covered in A Pattern of Moral Refinement. A slower and more detailed progression from existence to the laws of physics will be found in my articles on physics.
