Bob,

Including the Ur-Knall Big Bang? Also the child of an explosive age. 
Nihilism extending to astrophysics? Well, Lord Kelvin was already far below
zero.

It sure is a busy time for Occam's razor. 
Transcendental positions are running empty now, one needs only watch it
happen. We can even read, that Heidegger couldn't understand BT, because he
hadn't developed the ontological difference yet, etc.
  
Maybe one should indicate the possibility of authentic solipsism, I've
always had a soft spot for "holy" Max Stirner. 

Still, this philological maelstrom, wherein reality is lost, could it be
one face of "Seinsvergessenheit", I mean "ontologically"?
