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
