Are we one big grand experiment in the basic overall blink of the universe, or the galaxy? In which case, who is behind it?<ref>{{cite news|last1=Carnevale|first1=Rob|title=Calling the Shots No.41: Ridley Scott|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/films/callingtheshots/ridley_scott.shtml|access-date=22 July 2017|work=[[BBC]]|date=24 September 2014|archive-date=13 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413025033/http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/callingtheshots/ridley_scott.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref>}}
