Why the universe, why any thing, its the ultimate question.

The fact is, if there was a better reason for there NOT to be anything than there was for there to BE anything, then people wouldn't exist to ask "why is there no universe, why is there nothing?". So it's a one way question and by that logic, either rhetorical or petitio principii, not scientific.\n\nThere is a good reason why I dislike philosophy. The reason this question is philosophical and not scientific is for the fact that wanting a purpose or reason for anything is disgustingly human-centric. Science questions are to only be objective and not anthropocentric in my opinion, or else they are more like opinion polls. \n\nI think all philosophy should be based off of strict logical deduction and induction, otherwise the discipline accomplishes nothing and should be left to the drunkards and potheads. For the most part, this is the case.

My reason for living is life itself. It's the only thing we have, or we perceive we have. As for the meaning of life, that's up to each and one of us. For me it is to make this an enjoyable place for all and that's what I'm trying to do. From a universal perspective, anything I do (or anything anyone does for that matter) is absolutely pointless, so we might as well enjoy this pointlesness that is existance. \n\n\n\nEdit, as a response to the asker's comments: \n\nWhy would my reason be weak? I mean, you basically answered your own objection in your comment. What is the point in doing good? There isn't one. But what is the point in doing anything else? What is the point in doing the wrong things, what is the point in eating ice cream, what is the point in doing anything at all? There is no point to any of them. Talking from the universal perspective. Our existance is as meaningless as the existance of a rock or a black hole. We are particles, nothing more nothing less. \n\nWhere am I going with this? Well, this absolute meaningless of existance enables us to give our lives any meaning whatsoever, as there is no pre-determined meaning, something that most religions suggest. I gave my life the meaning that I stated in my initial answer, because since there essentially is no point in anything and life in itself has no purpose, we might as well enjoy our conscious existance, since, after all, life is all we have got. And that's what I'm trying to do, make it all enjoyable for us. That's my own personal way in which I want to spend my life, at least right now. It is as pointless as anything else, however, why not be happy in all this pointlesness?

Every question has an answer; even if there is no answer, then that is the answer. But that answer is in ignorance, since there is a truth to be found for every question asked. Every question is worth asking for the sake of increasing knowledge in truth, if indeed the person asking the question is willing to do what it takes to discover the true answer of the question.\n\nThat question made my head hurt a little.

Basically that something designed the entire universe/world.  Might be God or might be called something else.

There's nothing to answer.  It is already in its simplest form.

If there was just nothing, we would never know what could happen because we wouldnt exist.\nI believe there is more out there in the universe than what we know of.\nWether we discover these things or not is hard to ever say.

I will ask him just for a brief moment to show the origin of every religion its purpose,and to show the current path that world religions are travelling.so people can wake up and start searching him within themselves.and see the reality they are all living in.then everything will be settled

This "nothing" is what we perceive without the laws of physics. Our universe is limited by the knowledge we have about it. Recent theories (the "M" theory) suggest that endless universes exist, and sometimes they even collide one into other. Probably, out there, beyond the boundaries of 12 billions light years, others dimensions, other plan of existence exist.

what is the question?

the universe is too big dude. there has to be other life.

so why do u ask then, if you know the answer?

Might be better to be more specific and tell us the question.  It is hard to just give you information on space - seeing as it is infinite for starters.

the purpose of human life hmmm..even i wonder that...well acc. to our philosophy there are 8400000 species of living forms on earth...of which only the human form has the ability to perform an action or "karma" so we have been given this chance to liberate our souls or thoughts whatever u may call it "aham" or "I".... to get rid from the cycle of birth and rebirth ...that's the purpose...how we got here....coz the universe if u look at it as a single entity...it decided somehow to divide and keep dividing...that's how we were born....when we die nothing great really happens except that it depends on ur actions and the extent to which u have reined in or let loose ur thoughts...it really depends on "U" ...death is just a door to another realm of existence....is there a god...mmmmm no...and yes....a god in the physical sense no ... and god as in the whole universe (including YOU) as a single entity ...that's god...hip hop is good at times for me :) well neither the 50 cents nor the game for me...i'm indian :) before we were born .... we were souls fighting with other souls to grab that oppurtunity of human birth when the seed was laid....the universe is infinte ...no one knows the size ....not even god.....something like ...do u know how good can u be????....:) \n\nhope this answers at least some of ur doubts...

I agree. Every single emotion; every single scenario imaginable; both sides of the extreme and what lies in between will occur in this universe. In my opinion, anything is possible in this universe…ANYTHING! And I don’t think this universe has meaning without human ‘observation / awareness’ (consult ‘the observer effect’ in quantum physics + my question about the sound of tree falling in the forest).

Space is the absence of matter, so if the universe didn't exist, there would still be space.
