If we accept Occam's razor plus some form of anthropic reasoning, we could conjecture that our universe is the simplest instance of this class, since if there were a simpler one we would (with high probability) have found ourselves in that universe rather than this one. (Mental health warning: the above is hopefully-amusing philosophical conjecture only, and should not be confused with science.) ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=50920825-d14632
