Why is there something?

Why there is something and not nothing is one of man's basic questions, and one natural scientists cannot answer.

Man is unique. He, alone, among all creatures, attempts to understand the universe and all its aspects to give meaning to his existence.

Jacques Cousteau observed: "The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist; for man it is to know that and to wonder at it."
