How close can a piece of software come to being a tool for discovering the 
intricacies of the universe,
the infiniteness of relationships of things within the universe, a computer 
model of the universe
that can unfold to reveal through its window, secrets and insights, truly 
mimicing and mirroring Nature itself,

There you go. That's it. A tool for discovery. Actually, it occurs to me that this may be one of the most interesting and potentially useful 
aspects of the DB.

Dr. Bronner, savior of people who need soap.
His liquid soap from hemp oil with tea tree oil is a miracle cure for eye and 
ear infections.
Excellent for prophylaxis in that deppartment.
