Am I to assume then, Richard, that you consider the destruction of a branch entirely using whatever mechanism the LHC was supposedly going to destroy the fabric of reality is exactly equivalent to a more mundane death in a box? Or, did you simply use your cached thought regarding quantum suicide and saw a chance to be rude? I’ve got a hunch that it’s the latter since the implication doesn’t logically follow.
Dull, I was hoping something more useful to tell me. The implications of whatever the LHC could supposedly do and in particular why ever someone would choose blowing up the universe in preference to a couple of nukes going off were intriguing.
Incidentally, whatever makes you claim that ‘new information increases a person’s fitness’? Education notoriously reduces the rate of breeding in humans. I also haven’t found many people who actually apply their information about evolution and make it their full time occupation to find places through which they can donate sperm.
