1. No.
People who can live with that are usually happier.

8. No. In fact, physics tells us it is unattainable.
Scientists have now calculated out to the "nth degree" (many zeros out) with supercomputers and confirmed a theory they had that there is a tiny discrepancy between matter and anti-matter that allows matter to predominate in a universe where both are very close to being equal forces.

I believe the theory was expounded by Linus Pauling, a great man who was roundly criticized and dismissed while alive but who has been vindicated in much of his theoretical work that has been tested since his death.

This flaw is very tiny but has mathematically been proven to exist. And it is the reason all things material exist, including us.

American Indians have known perfection does not exist and is not the natural order of things for 40,000 years or more. If you go to New Mexico as I have and see a common patterned tile floor laid by an Indian, there will be a small flaw in the pattern somewhere. Same with beadwork done by Plains tribes. There will be an imperfection. Because that is the natural order of things. Perfection is not.

So nice to have physicists also arrive at that ancient belief mathematically. And they just did it about a year ago.
