I just adore this little story. If I had read it years ago I probably would have been bored out of my mind, but after growing up (and taking a philosophy course) it was perfect. Bursts with imagination and deep thought.

A fun short story highlighting our limited ability to perceive the universe and, thus, our limited ability to see the universe, with a special poke of fun at the idea that religion has all the answers.
Pretty funny, and I quite like the idea that even Micromegas itself, with such powers beyond our understanding, has no answers to the nature of things. Really helps underscore that his references to a supreme being are a matter of faith and belief, nor rational understanding. Just a lovely little bow on the whole thing.
