I mean that's about the size of what you said....right?
No wonder horseracing was invented.

I dont think any Physicist that really understands
the nature of Science would have a problems with
what I have stated. They might chastize me for not
understanding the math better that might help me
have the appropriate models. But then again all I
have to mention is Godel, and they realize that they
stand on very shaky ground.
But it is still fun for them.
They would however kick your behind about the
beginning of the universe as we have very good
evidence on the timing and events that most likely
took place. They would be much more comfortable
with the big bang than parallel universes, super string
theory, worm holes, etc... All neat sounding little models.
I also have a problem with many Physicists as they
have very little training in the History of Life on earth.
If they really understood the complete randomness of
vertebrates let alone human beings ever happening they
would not be so smug about insisting there is intelligent
life somewhere else. See Steven J. Gould, Wonderful
Life. The last few chapters set Physics types on their heels.
It should be required reading for anyone interested in
the real history of life and the randomness of ever producing anything
close to a human or even anything that we might consider
intelligent.
Religious types conclude this book proves humans are
extra special. But they dont like the conclusion of random events
playing any role. They must have a guiding force. It is really hard
to discuss this idea unless one reads the book. The first chapters
are not necessary, the last two or three are very convincing.
Sorry I am unable to play games with parallel universes or quantum
theory. My math is not good enough to get a realistic grip. I dont
like models without some shred of convincing modes to really be
able to analyze it. Im just not smart enough.
