   Yep, kinda hermetically-sealed bubbles.

   Somewhere, early on, you take a step in one of
   several directions and then that defines your
   path forever more.

   The 'big bang' - esp with 'inflation' added - IS a bit
   of a stretch ...

   I'll agree, because it suits me, that it's likely what
   happened - but really truly PROVING it and the underlying
   factors is gonna be difficult to the EXTREME.

   Came across an little article on a sci/tech page the other
   day about 'negative time'. Basically, if you send a photon
   into some crystals another comes out BEFORE the original
   goes IN. This had been attributed to instrumentation issues,
   but now the instrumentation is much better and it DOES happen.
   The first-up cause is to look at photons as quantum-statistical
   entities rather than a 'thing'. However there's a slight smell
   to that.

   Ah ... found it :

   https://phys.org/news/2024-12-scientists-negative-quantum.html

   This seriously smears-out the whole 'causality' thing,
   future precedes past. I wonder how far before/until
   that effect might go ?

   It also points to 'the real picture' being kinda being
   SO complex and strange it's not really within the realm
   of human IQ anymore. We might put the "AI"s on it, but
   won't understand how they reach their answers.or REALLY
   what it means. As such it all becomes as 'magic' to us -
   full circle.

   We LIKE to think we can grasp it all but ... umm ... NOPE.
   However we CAN *use* the 'magic' the AIs find ... so it's
   not a total loss. Just wave yer wand and repeat " ...
