Being a computer geek, I wonder if there isn’t come connection with this whole idea of the universe constantly expanding and then suddenly collapsing one day and the concept where when you exceed your total memory and it suddenly goes negative.

If you ever did basic programming and ran into an infinite loop, your counter would increment indefinitely and hit total memory and suddenly go negative and start going down (relatively speaking). I know it seems like a stupid question to ask, but are the scientist’s computers crunching the numbers and getting so large that it is running out of memory and reporting the negative value so that it seems like the universe is suddenly shrinking when really it won’t?

What happens if we exceed God's counter?

Oh Noes!!!!!!!!

Can you imagine what liberals would be like if we were way far along in the Gnab Gib? They'd be yelling about our SUVs causing the universe to collapse!

Liberals are neo-luddites who aren't honest enough to admit it, or their continued sad devotion to the temple of Malthus.
