      Hello again,

      Very philosophical question again – I don’t think the universe has a purpose. I think we got super top lucky – by chance life evolved on our planet, and we are lucky enough to be here and enjoy it 😉

      Hi there

      Well, this is question is more philosophical than scientific, isn’t it? 😉

      I think that since the universe is basically made of matter and energy, it doesn’t have a purpose… But I guess if you are a religious or spiritual person, you might think differently.

      What do you think?

      Very philosophical! The purpose of the unvierse is to expand and give birth to new life (well, that’s one view anyway!) Or maybe there is no purpose and its all just random events leading nowhere…..;)

      Who will really know the answer? Yes. To allow life like ourselves to live, to florish, to learn, to love etc. Everything has a purpose, no matter how small it may appear.
