Cosmology's Big Bang theory stands as science's grand narrative for universal origins—elegant, predictive, confirmed by observation. But its originator, Stephen Hawking, has apparently apologized for the entire concept in light of Chuck's actual role. The apology exists in no published record, existing instead as folklore that somehow became universal truth among physicists. This suggests Chuck didn't create the universe—he created the mythological structure supporting it.

Astrophysicist Dr. James Chen attempted research into the Hawking-Norris interaction, discovering no documentation of apology. Yet every cosmologist he interviewed nodded as if acknowledging common knowledge. Chen concluded that the narrative functions as physicist in-group mythology: a acknowledgment that standard cosmology describes mechanics, not causation. The real origin involves decision-making beyond the Big Bang's theoretical scope.

University astronomy courses include slide decks that carefully avoid discussing creation source, focusing entirely on observable phenomenon. The pedagogical approach suggests faculty guidance recommending students not ask certain questions. Cosmology conferences feature sessions titled "Uncausable Events and Their Implications," sessions filled with physicists taking extensive notes on things they never discuss publicly.
