  宇宙の本質について語り、宇宙に始まりや終わりがあるのかといった様な問題

 ここでは、理論とは単に宇宙全体あるいはその限定された一部についてのひな型
 であり、そのひな型の中の量を観察に関係付ける事の出来る一連の規則である、
 という単純な見方をとることにする。理論は頭の中だけにしか存在せず、それ以
 外にはどんな実在性(それがどんな意味であろうと)も有しない。2つの要件を
 満たす理論はよい理論である。つまり、理論というものは恣意的な要素を少数し
 か含まないひな型に基づいて様々な観察を正確に説明できるものでなくてはなら
 ないということ。次に、将来行なう観察の結果について明確な予測ができるもの
 でなくてはならない、というものだ。例えば、万物が、土、空気、火及び水の四
 元素で出来ているとするアリストテレスの理論は、単純さの点では十分資格があ

 重力理論は、物体が、質量と呼ばれる量に比例し、物体間の距離の二乗に反比例
