The Preposterous Enigma

Is there after all a key to the preposterous enigma of the universe?

Arnold Bennett - Imperial Palace (1930)


The universe is impossibly vast, we know this and Bennett was right, its unimaginable vastness is an enigma. 

Yet everything we know tells us that the entire universe is governed by laws which operate from the preposterously vast, down, down, down, smaller and yet smaller, down, down down to the polymer molecules of Sir Keir Starmer’s trousers.

Now that is a preposterous enigma.
