I have tried it with a frozen head, many times, but brain not working.

Othogonal, hmmm? Was that Reichenbach or Hans Reich? My point is that its
either a worthwhile conjecture or it isn't. You are saying that its not
worthwhile, yet let us explore the physics and see what's what.
<<Oh, you mean infinite computation. I don't think there's such a thing,

Quite unlikely for one of those Southern Baptist lads to part-take of the
evil crack pipe. As to the physics of accelerating redshift, it seems to now
be looked at, by scientists, as an astronomically recent phenomena. At least
that seems to be the case as I peer at papers on the LANL archives. Is his
work a pipe-dream? The Jury is still out and the Jury will take a lot longer
then several of our lifetimes added together. I continue with my notion that
we need to examine all plausible contingencies.
<< I thought you meant Omega-grade
computronium, which is quite impressive for sure, but
still infinitely remote from the Omega point.>>
Computronium, or a computer network that behaves as if its juiced on
computronium, or neutronium, or using the info provided by Smolin or Vilenkin
or some other worthy. I mean, what's the harm? I am not tossing out infinite
computing, any more then I am tossing out, M-branes. There's no logical
reason to.
