"Pour faire une tarte aux pommes à partir de rien, vous devez d'abord créer l'univers."

Simplified Meaning:

To make something completely from the very beginning, you need everything that came before it, like creating the stars, planets, and everything else that has ever existed. Think about making an apple pie. You might say you’re starting from scratch, but you need ingredients like apples, sugar, and flour. These ingredients come from trees, plants, and nature, which in turn come from the earth, which was formed billions of years ago in the universe. Imagine you want to bake a pie, but there's no flour because nobody grew the wheat, or no apples because nobody planted the trees. Before you can even mix anything, you need the world to have created all these things. In real life, it means appreciating all the complex steps and long history that make even the simplest things possible. When you recognize this, you see how interconnected everything is, and you value the efforts behind the things you take for granted. So, if you're taking on a big project, remember it involves many small parts, and trying to do it truly from the ground up means understanding and respecting this big and intricate process.
