Now I think, telling myself a story about what things ARE is doomed to failure no matter what. IMO you can't tell a story without it being inherently incorrect. Even something as compelling as science falls into that category by the way. So as interesting as something like this is compared to what we've got out in the 'real world', I'm going to pass.
It is better just to concentrate on the here, and now, and learn more important lessons like patience and forgiveness... and give up on all that shiny, glittery stuff.
