Answer from the Universe About the project

The app “Answer from the Universe”

Sometimes you just need an answer. Yes or no?

Cancel the plans. Change your look. Risk it. Go back home. Quit the job. Get a tattoo. Finally buy the thing you’ve been eyeing for three months. Break up, or give it another chance. Tell the truth, or stay silent. Go to the party. Forgive the betrayal. Travel alone. Make the first move. Leave, or stay. Leave first. Throw out what you can’t part with. Start your own business. Confess your feelings. Talk to the neighbors about the noise. Say that it hurt you.

And sometimes, it seems, only the Universe knows the answer.

It’s like the flashlight on your phone

It can come in very handy at the right moment.

The arguments for and against have been weighed, and there’s still no decision.

That’s usually when people reach for a coin. Or cast lots. Heads or tails. Put the playlist on shuffle, open a book at a random page.

“Answer from the Universe” is much the same thing. Only classier.

Why the answer is only “yes” or “no”

Well — maybe because of this:

“Every it — every particle, every field of force — derives its very existence from bits, from yes-or-no choices.”John Wheeler, physicist

Or maybe because “yes” or “no” is the choice people need most often.

Or maybe just because a coin has only two sides. Though, granted, every once in a while it lands on its edge. Believe it or not, that happens in our app too.

What’s inside “Answer from the Universe”

We could, of course, describe in detail what happens once you open the app. But something tells us it will be far more interesting if all of it comes as a surprise.

How this differs from a Magic 8 Ball

Let’s say it up front: our app is not a fortune teller’s parlor, not a Magic 8 Ball, and not a room full of psychics. Unlike them, we don’t claim to know what will happen. Because we don’t know, and no one else does either. On the other hand, we’re not at all convinced that a coin lands on one side or the other by chance. So it’s all a little more complicated than it looks. And more interesting.

Why only one question a day

One question a day, one answer. First, because this isn’t a game. And second, if there were ten of them, each answer would be worth ten times less.

Why it’s free

Free, by the way, and also with no ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases and no monetization of any kind. That part isn’t up for discussion. And it’s all because selling answers from the Universe would be — how to put this gently — a little awkward.

Why this works at all

Albert Einstein once said:

“Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control.”

And twenty-six years later he added:

“The distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
In other words, it has all already happened. And the Universe knows the answer.
