I am more then a little embarassed about this (and probably should be) but I
have, in the Shermer sense of believing "weird things", have long suspected
that there are/is a mechanism in the universe, for storing all information.
Call it a backup or a system-save or whatever, but I supected it. Basically,
I am still, looking for all facets of this (perhaps nonsensical) idea. Or as
Thoreau once said: "Build your castles in the air, then put a foundation
under it." Which is what I seem to be devoted to. Call it a process on the
way to Singularity.

You mean you think there is currently some database storing all information
in the universe or that you think such a technology is possible?
