[TODO: How can we observe the universe without having uniforme laws?]  [TODO: define "mathematical prediction" or something like that and use it here, since I have two meanings of prediction - I think this is done/not needed, I added a footnote in the only place where I use the normal meaning of prediction. I have to check. Maybe I should be more explicit about this.  [TODO: Say that, from the hypothesis that the universe is not created and a few basic mathematical properties one can predict, with full certainty, that we can't know how a non-zero fraction of the observable part of our universe works, for many definitions of \ghilimele{fraction}. Either we can't apply any scientific theory to the distant past, future, or to distant places, and we will never be able to do that, or one of the starting axioms must be false, and I'm not betting on the mathematical statements being false.]  [TODO: use this as a motto: "Why nature is mathematical is a mystery...The fact that there are rules at all is a kind of miracle." (4) Richard Feynman, The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen-Scientist (New York: BasicBooks, 1998), 43. - citat pe http://www.everystudent.com/wires/organized.html]  [TODO: De citit What's So Great About Christianity, Dinesh D'Souza]  [TODO: Put an e-mail address in the footnote in the introduction.]  [TODO: Things to check at the end: my macro is used for \ghilimele{quotes}.]
