Tick Tock

In the day when my sister was promising student in serious department in major university - before she dropped out - she wrote me of the big research problem she and her group were involved in:

Calculating how long we have until entropy clicks over, the whole thing restarts, and we do an exact recycle so I am again sitting pounding this keyboard.

My reaction then and now:

IF you could do it, HOW could you check it?

IF you hit the right answer, where can you go from there, what can you do with it?

My brain structures so there has to be the possibility of REAL for scientific endeavor to be worthwhile.

Tell my sister [though I suspect she no longer cares].

Me, if we HAD a restart I would ask no direr hell. Keep reincarnation away from me.

reincarnation versus 1 strike and you're out [or in]. personally, i would like more than one throw of the dice.

Depends, of course, on the parameters of reincarnation. I have never heard of a reincarnation schema I could stand. Anyhoo, tweejy zone - one trip through the universe is quite enough for me. If I have any incarnations coming, you are free to use them.

No, not that - pick one in which the brain and the society it is stuck in are compatible.

A finely functioning human body in Antarctica or in an active volcano or the Marianas Trench is not that great an asset.
