This is not what a RW article should be. Delete. PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?.Moderator 16:59, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. RW is not just some site for hosting peoples' weird physics ideas. Wehpudicabok [話] [変] 18:08, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
I realize RW isn't as adverse to original research as WP is (at least not always), but one guy's weird theories with little to no backing of any kind (and posited on a bunch of weak assumptions to boot) don't belong here, in my opinion. I say delete. - GrantC (talk) 19:51, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
It may make sense to allow them, if they want, to have it relocated to an essay page in the mean time. Y'know, if Sesquihypercerebral asks nicely (and can learn to start signing his posts with ~~~~). Shadow of Lords talk 19:56, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Right, I suppose for things like this that aren't blatantly insane, there isn't so much of an issue with allowing it to sit in essay space. - GrantC (talk) 20:00, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Is it not rational? Is it weird? A subtle variation on the argument from design posits that a god is needed to set the initial conditions for the universe to start. The no-boundary condition (part of the grand design) posits that there are no conditions to be set, undermining the design argument. However, the no-boundary condition can be expected have consequences. I am exploring one of the possible consequences and find that it confirms the no-boundary hypothesis. I put it to you that if this theory is true then it will be another nail in the coffin of religion. If it is not true then it will not be. Either way reality will have had its say. Is it an RW article? I humbly ask you to leave it up until its factual accuracy has been judged.

I would also like to refer you to this website

There are links to pages explaining what we do and what a RW article should be on your user/talk page. Take a look at those and see what you xcan come up with in that mold. Thanks! PowderSmokeAndLeather: Say something once, why say it again?.Moderator 20:44, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
