It is what everyone does when they are not busy dealing with their everyday businesses and get a chance simply to wonder what life and the universe are all about.

We are also equipped with a powerful intellectual capability, which allows us to reason, as well as just wonder.From the beginning of human history, people have asked questions about the world and their place within it.
