    I don't disagree with that, but if you try to publish obvious nonsence, it
    gets weeded out. They wouldn't want an araticle on little green men or
    perpetual motion appearing in a honorary volume for the like of Wheeler!
    Wheeler was quite a bigwig in General Relativity.

    I will combine replies.

    To David Bowman, thanks for correcting my speed of recesion of the horizon.

    To Richard, I missed your question about my credentials (which is an appeal
    to authority). I am not an academic. I am a professional student who earns
    his living now as a manager of technology in the oil industry covering areas
    as diverse as geology, geophysics, drilling, reservoir management, fluid
    modeling and IT. Am I perfect in what I write? No, which is why I thanked
    David above, who has performed that task many times. But given that others
    don't think Tegmark is as off the wall as you do, why don't you try to
    submit your critique to peer review?
