Hi, Chas. The known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics) mathematically require immortal superintelligence in general to take control over all matter in the universe, for said life to eventually force the collapse of the universe, and for the computational resources of the universe (in terms of both processor speed and memory storage) to diverge to infinity as the universe collapses into a final singularity, termed the Omega Point.
Only if one accepts the premise of an "Omega Point". I don't.
The existence of an Omega Point is not required by the laws of physics.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
