And when the hourglass has run out, the hourglass of temporality,

when the noise of secular life has grown silent and its restless or
ineffectual activism has come to an end, when everything around you
is still, as it is in eternity, then eternity asks you and every
individual in these millions and millions about only one thing:
whether you have lived in despair or not.

—Soren Kierkegaard,
“The Sickness Unto Death”, Datalinks

Those who embrace The Will to Power must eventually confront the ultimate philosophical question: What is the purpose and order of the universe? Confirmation of the Unified Field Theory finally gives mankind the tools to answer this question in the search for the Secrets of Creation.
