They discovered all of the equations that governed the universe. They felt omnipotent; they were wrong. Omnipotence is unreachable. They placed their hopes in a machine; their hopes were misplaced. They thought they could predict the future. The future is unknowable.
The equation were put into the machine. But the machine did not know the universe, could not know the universe. They remained in the dark.

They were offered the choice between becoming kings or the courier of kings. The way children would, they all wanted to be couriers. Therefore there are only couriers who hurry about the world, shouting to each other – since there are no kings – messages that have become meaningless. They would like to put an end to this miserable life of theirs but they dare not because of their oaths of service.
