Physicists aren’t often reprimanded for using risque humor in their academic writings, but in 1991 that is exactly what happened to the cosmologist Andrei Linde at Stanford University. He had【C1】________a draft article entitled "Hard Art of the Universe Creation" to the journal Nuclear Physics. In it, he outlined the【C2】________of creating a universe in a laboratory: a whole new cosmos that might one day【C3】________its own stars, planets and intelligent life. Near the end, Linde made a seemingly flippant suggestion that our universe itself【C4】________ knocked together by an alien " physicist hacker." The paper’s moderator objected to this "dirty joke" on the grounds that religious people might be offended that scientists were aiming to steal the【C5】________ of universe-making out of the hands of God. Linde changed the paper’s title and abstract but held firm【C6】________the line that our universe could have been made by a(n)【C7】________scientist.
Fast-forward a quarter of a century, and the notion of universe-making — or "cosmogenesis" as I dub it — seems less comical than 【C8】________. I’ve travelled the world talking to physicists who take the concept【C9】________, and who have even sketched out rough blueprints for how humanity might one day achieve it. Linde’s moderators might have been right to be concerned, 【C10】________they were making the wrong assumptions. The issue is not who might be offended by【C11】________, but what would happen if it were truly possible. How would we handle the theological implications? What moral responsibilities would come with fallible humans taking on the 【C12】________of cosmic creators?
Theoretical physicists have grappled for years with related questions 【C13】________part of their considerations of how our own universe 【C14】________. In the 1980s, the cosmologist Alex Vilenkin at Tufts University in Massachusetts【C15】________a mechanism through which the laws of quantum mechanics could have generated an inflating universe from a state in which there was no time, no space and no matter.
【C12】
