You'd better hope for an eternally expanding universe, even with the
attendant dangers of a Pynchonian Callistoish entropic demise (I
prefer the frenetic complex energy of the lease-breaking party,
myself). The mail alternative, an eternally cycling Big Bang / Big
Crunch cosmic heartbeat (punctuated by the eternal recurrence of
the Mother of all Singularities) does not permit pattern, the sine qua
non of consciousness, to pass its superhot/supergravity Stygian
microuniformchaosoup gate. Joe
