Abstract

Some languages don't have an infinitive ; others put the subject at the end of their sentence ; still others have nothing to say about the verb to be. If we look at the Universe and its evolution as a language, would it be fairer to hear the language it speaks ? Or would it be fairer to read the text it writes ? And in either case, what would be its grammar ? And how do we read or hear ? What tools do we have at our disposal ? In what way can the mysteries surrounding the origin of this writing shed light on the reasons why writing is always shrouded in mystery ?
