And if it happens in sci-fi, it happens in real life.

This is science class, philosophy of morality is down the hall. Whether it's right or it's wrong, the possible implications of creating a universe are astounding. It would force the entire perspective concerning creation to be shifted, reexamined. Also, the christian right would just be so pissed.

First off: What? If the earth was to even become inhabitable? The earth IS inhabitable. You're on it RIGHT NOW, breathing up my air and wasting my internet. Secondly, not sure it's a stable idea? was Nuclear fission a stable idea? How about the idea of space travel? We had no idea what would happen if we punched a craft towards the moon, but we did it anyway.

Intresting, but how do they plan to create a universe when they dont even fully understand how one works?

I don't fully understand tornados, but I can create one with two 2L pop bottles and some water.

Let me explain. No, is too much. Let me sum up: Will they pull this off? No. They can't even be sure if it works or not, they can't measure it. Is it a cool theory? Oh hells yea, and one that may one day lead to all sorts of interesting discoveries. Stop acting like the sky is falling on your heads and show a little interest in progress. If you want to avoid risks at all cost, go be Amish and build a fucking barn. The rest of the class wants to create a motherfucking universe

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I know that, but just because there's a short story about robots coming to life and killing their creators doesn't mean it REALLY HAPPENED.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
