I suspect you are correct. Sure don't know, though!

You forgot to mention the parallel universe, in which all matter could suddenly condense into peanut butter!

Has anyone seen Schroedinger's cat...lately? Honest. I didn't see that black and white tabby as it walked across the street while I stepped on the accelerator. Honest. ;)

After reading, then researching this assumption....The Focault Foundation has it on very good authority that this theory is indeed correct, the reason....42.

Universe 'could condense into jelly' There's a Hillary joke in here somewhere. Give it up blam!

That certainly puts global warming in perspective.

The question then becomes: Where will we find an english muffin that's 20 trillion light years in diameter?
To: DoughtyOne
Dang it, I was hoping for cruchy peanutbutter. No prob. It comes in two varieties.

Well, since we are all going to die anyhow, this is probably not a bad way to go. Death would be painless and instantaneous. It would be over before we even knew anything was happening. One minute you would be sitting at your computer, a split-second later, you woul

The question then becomes: Where will we find an english muffin that's 20 trillion light years in diameter? I posit to you......where will the mouths come from to eat them? This sounds like a problem for my Foundation researchers...We will respond with an appropriate answer in due course.

> I think it is two to the thirteen millionth power.
Rather a large number, this. But, wth, I'll take a couple of lottery tickets.

We must have a massive government program to prevent this. Its for the children.

This possibility is much higher than that of the Universe having the properties it currently has, and *that* possibility is much higher than that of intelligent life arising anywhere in the Universe.I've heard similar analogies before. They strike me as unimaginative. On Earth, life is obviously abundant. How many atoms make up Earth? If we were to shrink the Universe to the size of the Earth, our search for life in the Earth-sized Universe is the equivalent of searching one atom. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but you get the idea. How about something much larger than an atom, say, for example, a grain of sand. How many grains of sand would have to be searched before stumbling upon life?
