Looking at some of the other threads, it sounds like Enterprise might dramtically disprove or possibly add evidence for this hypothesis. That's good - a hypothesis has to be disprovable to be useful.
(that is to say, there must be some conceivable circumstances which will show your theory is wrong. If those circumstances come up, you are wrong. If they don't, you haven't proven your hypothesis by any means... but you can gather more evidence. But if there is no concivable outcome of any experiement that can show your wrong (what if the entire universe is really a perfect illusion, so perfect it is impossible to distinguish from reality in any way whatsoever?) then it's not science but possibly philosophy.</font>
