Read a fascinating article in the latest issue of New Scientist about so called Bolzmann brains, a hypothetical group of self-aware entities that can spontaneously appear in outer space and observe the space around them. The thesis of the article was that these “brains” may one day outnumber the number of “ordinary” sentient beings (like humans) in the universe. Once your heads have stopped spinning, feel free to explain the theory and implications to me, because my head is still spinning..
Maybe the Q entity from Start Trek: The Next Generations isn’t that far fetched after all?
