If our Milky Way were to collide with an anti-matter galaxy of equal mass, perhaps one that our astronomers had somehow overlooked, and tomorrow our whole galaxy were to cease to exist, what difference would it make? Is the universe benefited in any way from having the Milky Way as part of its mass? Or would the net loss amount to nothing of any importance? _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
How does the universe gain or lose anything? Does the universe have a conscience that it would make it feel the difference? If we are that conscience, it would lose everything. If other consciences exist, it would lose something of debatable importance. If no conscience exist, who cares?
