Mitch, the datasystem needed to read, deconstruct, and then reassemble
that kind of information would be a in all descriptions godlike.

I wonder if a Hans Moravec or one of the many savants', on this list would
have an estimation on what kind of crunching/methodology, power this would
involve? Merely guessing from what I have read from Bradbury, Yudkowsky,
Hanson, Broderick, More (sounds like a Law firm) and many others, have
suggested, through their writings, something on the level of Monopolium
(magnetic monopoles) to accomplish this feat. On the other hand, Moravec's
neutronium computer-minds would have both the gravitic mass, and the brain
power to "un-zip" a medium-sized Black hole. I really appreciate your ideas,
Marie, and inspiring too. Perhaps a technology that manipulates gravity
through electromagnetism is (in the remote future) viable?
