You seem to be dodging the issue of what a logical contradiction is. I get the picture of banana peels and nothing else, in all sorts of combinations. You say there are no trees and no monkeys. Are you saying trees and monkeys have never existed?eyekwah wrote:If you misunderstood, I apologize. However, you're looking for trivial ways to call it a logical contradiction but I can easily dodge them by clarifying what I meant or if necessary, by redefining an example. Give me a non-trivial demonstration of why a universe could never be composed of only banana peels which involves a logical contradiction.
Burden of proof is on you.
But you are not saying why this would be impossible. The burden of proof is really on you to demonstrate that no series of events could lead up to a BPU as you describe it. What laws of physics does it violate? Isn't that what this discussion centers on, after all?Again, it's not a *logical* contradiction because the very definition of a BPU doesn't contradict itself. It's simply a situation that could not possibly arrive no matter how improbable a series of situations might be prior to the BPU.
In other words, a universe consisting of a single proton. Possible or impossible?
