Most people, including scientists, have similar problems with the time elasticity of relativity (ex. twin paradox), the particle/wave duality of light (ex. dual slit experiment), the infinite density of a black hole singularity, the indistinctness of a wave function (ex. Schrodinger's cat). quantum entanglement ("Spooky action at a distance" - A. Einstein) and other similar well documented phenomenon.

Create an AMOEBA, the simplest life form on this planet.
A SINGLE LIVING CELL.
You know where to put your big bang theory.
