>> Quantum physics says it can. But forget the esoteric stuff. You just proved a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. >> You don't think biology having infinity to evolve into intelligence, and intelligence having an infinity to became really really smart couldn't build a computer type program the size of our universe? This isn't TRON and you take a lot for granted. We know that our corner of the universe will not exist for an infinite period of time, or anywhere near it. So there is no infinity. And there are a lot of things that ARE likely to end it for us long before that eventuality occurs. So, your supposition that there is an infinite amount of time to do anything is just sort of, well, wrong. But even assuming one did have an infinite amount of time to work on the project you describe, there is a pretty big issue that can't be ignored, which is the free will of individuals. Perhaps you think you are controlled by some dedicated computer somewhere the job of which it is to direct your life, but I'm pretty sure I'm not. It is just a pretty ridiculous assertion from the outset.
