The Grand Design World Map It may require a series of overlapping theories to represent the universe,just as it requires overlapping maps to represent the earth. We will describe how M-theory may offer answers to the question of creation.According to M- theory,ours is not the only universe.Instead,M-theory predicts that a great many universes were created out of nothing.Their creation does not require the intervention of some supernatural being or god.Rather,these multiple universes arise naturally from physical law.They are a prediction of science.Each universe has many possible histories and many possible states at later times,that is, at times like the present,long after their creation.Most of these states will be quite unlike the universe we observe and quite unsuitable for the existence of any form of life.Only a very few would allow creatures like us to exist.Thus our presence selects out from this vast array only those universes that are compatible with our existence.Although we are puny and insignificant on the scale of the cosmos,this makes us in a sense the lords of creation. To understand the universe at the deepest level,we need to know not only how the universe behaves,but why. Why is there something rather than nothing? Why do we exist?

The Grand Design Skoll the wolf who shall scare the Moon Till he flies to the Wood-of-Woe: Hati the wolf,Hridvitnir's kin. Who shall pursue the sun. -“GRIMNISMAL,”The Elder Edda VIKING MYTHOLOGY,Skoll and Hati chase the sun and the moon.When the wolves catch either one,there is an eclipse.When this happens,the people on earth rush to rescue the sun or moon by making as much noise as they can in hopes of scaring off the wolves.There are similar myths in other cultures.But after a time people must have noticed that the sun and moon soon emerged from the eclipse regardless of whether they ran around screaming and banging on things. After a time they must also have noticed that the eclipses didn't just happen at random:They occurred in regular patterns that repeated themselves.These patterns were most obvious for eclipses of the moon and enabled the ancient Babylonians to predict lunar eclipses fairly accurately even though they didn't realize that they were caused by the earth blocking the light of the sun. Eclipses of the sun were more difficult to predict because they are visible only in a corridor on the earth about 30 miles wide.Still,once grasped,the patterns made it clear the eclipses were not dependent on the arbitrary whims of supernatural beings,but rather governed by laws
