Sounds like the revival of the Aether theory, which was disproven by the Michelson-morley experiment.

Not really. The Luminiferous Aether was imagined to be the medium through which light waves were propagated. There does not seem to be any analog of that in Ali and Das's work, as described here. If I understand correctly, they are simply proposing that the Raychaudhuri equation represents a gravity field, and that this equation can reconcile General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.

But everyone knows the pan-dimensional mice created the universe as a giant computer.

I was thinkin that exact same thing!

Dr. No took care of the pan-dimensional mice.

[Carrikature]

Very neat.

Very neat.

I like my Scotch neat...

No. the pan-dimensional mice had contracted the creation of the earth as that computer. And the meaning of life is 42.

[Leonhard]

And the meaning of life is 42.

Actually, 42 is the answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe and Everything. Unfortunately nobody knows what this question actually is, so having the answer is rather useless.

[JonF]

Maybe a being in another universe knows the question. But a universe in which both are known is impossible.

Although "how many roads must a man walk down?" is pretty good.

"What is the question?" is the question - I think.
