Space probably isn't actually foamy, but oh well

From Telkoth.net

Been reading "The Elegant Universe" lately...

Telkoth: the universe is strange
Telkoth: I have a theory:
Telkoth: not only are we a computer simulation,
Telkoth: but we're an experiment to see if even the most fucked-up physical laws can support life
'Neen: haha
Telkoth: someone was like "okay, so we're gonna make a universe, but get this... space will be random and foamy! but no one will be able to tell, 'cause we'll make the smallest particle too big to notice! and, um, what else..."
Telkoth: "I know! we'll make it so that everything is moving as fast as it possibly can in one direction, but nothing can really change how it moves in that direction except by moving in any of the other three... and..."
'Neen: ha
Telkoth: "oh, oh! instead of particles... vibrating strings!!"
Telkoth: and everyone giggles while a programmer starts typing
'Neen: haha
