Well, one has to wonder how something like that would be able to be confirmed. It seems to be beyond of human knowledge and understanding and could never be anything more than a "what if" scenario. It's the kind of thing that makes for interesting literature but doesn't really have a practical application in science.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
