From www.squidoo.com

What do members think?
A thing which was not logical would not exist. By definition. It wouldn't count as reality. An 'illogical Universe' is a contradiction in terms.

I approve this message.
I can't remember which thread it was but we discussed the problems of an 'illogical' universe extensively there. was fun. We can't conceive a universe where logic cannot be applied but I think the fact that you can't come up with an example of a universe where you would not be able to make a logical deduction says something negative about the existence of 'illogical universes'. Can you come up with an example of a universe where logic is inapplicable?
