Imagine a brute-force creation of x^y universes with varying cosmological constants. Surely some universes with the right ingredients for life also include a deep freeze or a Big Crunch.
Or, maybe our universe was created in a lab somewhere and they’re trying to figure out how to make a stable universe through experimentation. And we’re iteration #42.
- cbogie 5y ago42 would be the answer, huh. and in which case, were it to be true, we'd have a mighty strange prophetic bible on our hands. on second thought, at least it was entitled to be a poor man's manual for gettin around these parts.
- undersuit 5y agoWhat if our universal parameters don't make us much different than the universes with #41 being the answer and #43 being the answer... and of course the answer is guessed correctly in a satirical sci-fi in those respective universes. Just an infinite chain of universes where the initial variables determine the number/answer mentioned in one of Douglas Adam's books.
