: Ouch. You end up with 1.5 trillion tests that way, assuming 101,000 years and : 4 firings per minute. (Could've sworn it was 3/min... but I never timed it : myself.) : Of course the analysis assumes continuous test firings and a steady (or : average) rate of tests. One could hand-wave and say that tests ramp up and : down, or have periods of shut-down for maintenance, or... but that's : bringing stuff in to fit the theory, rather than working with available : data. : Drat. : -- Steve sees yet another beautiful hypothesis shatter upon the hard rock of : fact. Well there's always the thought that a simulation does not necessarily have to be the same thing every time - some can be of the software, some of the machinery ... but I do agree with you, it doesn't seem to work out with the blue towers, does it? Of course, there's always the possibility that Bungie didn't think about 1.2 trillion before animating the blue beams ;)
