“Art The greater the artist, the greater is his skill in making an image appear as it does in real life. He does so by imbuing a feeling of life in that which, on its own, possesses no life (i.e., the canvas). So it is with G‑d, [the ultimate “Artist”]. He created a world that seems like a self-sufficient entity (like the canvas above). In reality, however, its entire existence, the “feeling of life,” is derived from the Divine life-force that sustains its every moment.”

“The googol-Google puzzle has layers like an onion. First you have to realize that the spelling of the numbers, rather than their mathematical properties, is relevant. That’s hard enough. Then you have to know about, and remember, Kasner’s number. An average mortal would think himself clever to come up with “one googol” and be ready to call it a day. But there’s still the final layer. “Ten googol” is bigger than “one googol” and ought to be the answer.”
