> The nerd discussion on this sim question is totally serious. Yes, but just as likely to result in a useful outcome as trying to count angels. What I'm trying to say is that unless someone in this discussion is maybe a high-energy particle physicist, or astrophysicist, all we're really doing is the equivalent of trying to deduce what happened to the Holy Prepuce, or what Hermione Granger's canonical ethnicity is. Which isn't to say that it's not a fun thing to talk about; but we should recognize that we're just sitting around the fire with a couple of beers and bullshitting, and that we can't make any really definitive statements here. We're at the Greek Philosophy level of being able to talk about this stuff - all thought experiments without much actual data.
