Zero
While watching Universe, documentary on Netflix with my 4 year old son, we started to wonder, why does energy exist? This poem is like a Cento of ideas from all the fields that attempt to answer it.

Pure energy
transformed endlessly
neither created nor destroyed
just is
Why?
I hear that Scholars say,
To maximize the entropy
Believers proclaim,
To live out its destiny
Computers calculated,
The answer to life, universe and everything
is forty-two
Physicists predict,
They will know soon -
they found the god particle
Mathematicians say,
Why bother with the answer
when we can assume it’s zero
It is indeed playful, and delightful. I particularly like the computers conclusion of 42!
