I love the end of it, just a big circle of random static noise. Looking at stuff like this always brings up the question of why does anything exist at all?

What kind of answer could even possibly answer that question?

Any answer is subject to the follow-up question, well why does that thing exist? Why did that happen?

If a question cannot be answered, there's no point in asking it I think.

Other questions about the physical laws governing the big bang or inflation or black holes can be answered, although they might be very difficult to answer.

I don't know, but it's fascinating to think about.
