Well that's simple, really.
Build a supercomputer that will calculate it for thousands of years, which will itself build an even more supercomputer, have it analyze life, and then disguise yourself as an inferior species on said supercomputer so that you can analyze the results of the calculations.
Oh wait, wrong question.

Oh wait, wrong question. I've thought about that, but it would take so long that it would eventually be in the way of a bypass and destroyed before I got a n answer question. |

That's okay, you can examine the brain of the lone survivor at a later date. Let's just ignore that said survivor will be from an invasive species and ruined the whole experiment. |

||U's are by definition unable to interact with us and are thus impossible to observe. So they're a phenomenon whose existence is unprovable. Of what does that remind me...?

I don't see why you couldn't interact with a parallel universe.

The way to prove a parallel universe is to stare intently at the sky. If you see another universe and it's parallel, that's a parallel universe.

Oh no, it will, by philosophers all over the universe who don't actually want to know the answer. |

The thread has been derailed way too much for me to bother constructing a coherent overview.

Derailment is the norm, just slap something in here.
