斯多葛哲学主要关注的是，人们的生活既要符合个人的本性，又要符合宇宙的本性。也许从东方道家的哲学家们的相关论述中能获得对此观念的最佳理解。
The Stoic philosophy was primarily concerned with living in accordance with both one's own nature and universal nature, perhaps best understood in the sense meant by Taoist philosophers of the East.
假使我们生活在某个典型的宇宙中，那么这个宇宙应该具有能够优化黑洞产生所需要的物理规律和物理常数，只是至今我们还无从知道，我们所处的宇宙是否符合这个要求。
If we live in a typical universe, then it ought to have physical laws and constants that optimise the production of black holes. It is not yet known whether our universe fits the bill.
只有在平坦的宇宙中，空间才符合标准的几何规律——三角形的内角和精确地等于180度，平行线永远不相交。
Only in a flat universe does space obey all the standard geometry-class rules-the angles of a triangle add up to exactly 180 degrees and parallel lines never meet.
