 And about those laws of thermodynamics: in order to draw a complete, functioning, comprehensive theory of the universe, one must first have comprehensive, true, knowledge of the total canon of all laws of science. But science being an inductive process, and quite incapable of establishing anything by way of proof, this is again theoretically impossible. Our present state of knowledge of the laws of the universe is contingent and incomplete.
+''Until the [[Apocalypse|End of the Universe]]''. The point at which all races are run, all data gathered, the universe has equalised itself into entropic warm brown sludge — at that point we have enough data to run our simulation. Or would do, had the data not degraded into entropic warm brown sludge, meaning there was no such data, nor any energy left to run the algorithm required of it.
+The great irony of [[scientusm]] is that, collected [[data is historic|data being historical]] and all, and therefore necessarily incomplete (and for all intents and purposes, so small a proportion of the total information quality of the universe as to be nil, that the point where the reductionists can, on their own theory, run their experiments will never arrive.
