Most people have probably not heard of “Doubly-even self-dual linear binary error-correcting block code” although most people are familiar intuitively knows what it proves - that there is a right and a wrong, that subjectivism is a sham.
Invented in the 1940’s (considering the circumstances it might actually be more adequate to say “discovered”) by a computer constructor to avoid mistakes when transferring data. Today it is a tool in all current internet traffic, e-mails and what not. It is a valuable tool in order to make sure that the intended message in your e-mail to a friend is actually what’s reaching your friend and not some gibberish that got messed up on the way. It makes perfect sense, since there is a specific purpose with the message when sending it.
Then come a doctor in physics and expert in string theory (Dr. James Gates Jr.) and tells the world that the universe has the same thing. This is when people go, "what?” It turns out that the very fabric of the universe is self-correcting. Correcting from what? Well, errors of course. This is when it gets real sticky, especially for atheists. It seems incredibly thorny to try to explain the concepts of decisive right and wrong as a fundamental existential control procedure in a universe completely caused by random chance.
There are obviously something that is right and something that is wrong, and apparently, the universe has an urge the make sure that “right” prevails accordingly to Dr Gates Jr, that would be truth . Even though you can’t turn back time to make a wrong right, rest assure that the universe with the help of time will set it right. It's all very reassuring.
Another implied consequence is that if the universe can make the wrong turn, which needs to be corrected, there exists a final intended goal and purpose, otherwise there would be no need for an innate control system to keep the universe on the right track, it is self-evident. This could mean that history indeed has an ending point. At which time the aggregated sum of all that was has fulfilled the intended purpose, if not of course, the purpose is simply to keep the universe going and going, like an energizer rabbit... but then again, this is contradicted by the axiom that all that has a beginning also has an ending.
It is indeed so that truth and justice always prevails and that all that is hidden will become apparent. As it turns out, it is part of the fundamental conditions for existence and that, – you can take to the bank.
In old times it was poetically expressed by “it is written in the stars.” Maybe the folk lore of old was more right than they ever knew.
