> DAVID: You've neatly skipped over my comment that a new creation will be required.

Nor would it mean that a new creation would be required. Required by what? -If one wishes for another universe it would have to be created as this one was. It appears under all theories, except the parallel membrane theory of Steinhardt and Turok, the universe is not an eternal series of expansions and retractions and therefore a new one requires a recreation.

> dhw: Meanwhile, you've neatly skipped over my complaint that you know my prophecy is wrong because it contradicts current beliefs which I have prophesied will be found to be wrong.-I don't think I'll join you on your Tibetan guru's mountaintop and will stick with current scientific thought, which you use when you like it ( as in sentient single cells).
