Not sure it would be so quiet, since it was extremely violent. In fact, we can still hear the creation as static on our radios and televisions. I understand that one percent of that static is leftover sound from the Big Bang. I once asked a physicist whether it might be possible eventually to see the creation, and he said when we get that far out there are gas clouds obscuring our vision. Too bad.

Plus it would probably be very quiet. Personally I would want to go back to when the universe was created to see what everything was like at the beginning. Plus it would probably be very quiet.

I keep hearing about the carnage that would have resulted if we had had to invade the Japanese homeland.

He told of how as a young man he was enroute to invade Japan when a terrible new weapon ended the world. "I guess that makes me one of the few whose life an atomic bomb saved.

After all, everyone now accepts that English is the international language. I apologise for the satire, but speak as a native English speaker. Then, if English is unacceptable, on grounds of linguistic imperialism, what about Esperanto? Yes Esperanto was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for Literature, in the name of Icelandic poet Baldur Ragnarrson. This is true. Esperanto does have its own original literature.
