It's a mystery. It's a proper mystery. We have schools of thought and whole universities and research labs just because apparently the world WANTS US TO KNOW IT. It just WANTS US to share our results and build grand systems.
From my point of view, the universe is both a question that commands me to answer it, and a God that commands me to build it a temple. I'm all too aware that other people have already answered it, and I'm all too aware of all the other temples lying around, some in ruins and some not.
It's a Lovecraftian apocalypse, basically. Most people find crumbling temples of the Old Ones to shelter and horde supplies in against the assaults of the alien invaders.
The obvious question is WHY? Why keep building temples? I don't know, I really don't, it's just like asking why is there a world at all.
