Ultimately, I think it's completely unprovable.
My reasoning: We can't know what made the universe, because our only records exist inside the universe and whatever made the universe happened before the universe existed. This excludes local level miracles, like God appearing to Hawking at a grand scientific conference, but even if there was a God, I fear that the creature would only be able to tell us how our universe was made, not it's universe. The salient question is "Where did all of this matter ultimately come from?" |
