Could I just say that the boundary between science and philosophy is totally arbitrary. It is a continuum.

Just as the 'real' world has these strange states called macro level and quantum level and the boundary seems indistinct, I am sure we are looking at a totally analogous situation.

We reflect the real situation of our reality because we are a part of it. Self referential systems have inherent paradoxes and I think that is how our Universe overcomes this is by being very fuzzy at the micro and yet reflect this fuzziness at the really macro ie Galaxy clusters and clusters of Galaxies and so on. This comes full circle?

The fact that I can even begin to communicate these ideas over a vast distance compared to even our immediate ancestors tells me that we live in relatively enlightened times.

What really scares me how many charletans are gaining credence by placing drivel in front of the many!

I think Kokatha man is very interesting as he incisive and does not preach as I hope I do not.

Now to get to the theories that you have both put forward.

Conjecture is a first start. Without experimental evidence it is still mere conjecture.

Bouncing Universes whilst being beyond real comprehension should not be ruled out. I am all for new life as long as I get a bit myself.

As far as the laws of Physics surviving a pan dimensional disaster of Biblical proportions? I am still trying to work out the current one.

By the way Biblical meant the whole of Palestine and Arabia?

When we fully understand Gravity we may know.

The large Hadron Collider may give us a glimmer of understanding.
