Of course this whole theory misses out the whole area of the space-time continuum known as The Carpet. I think that until cosmological theories of both Setteeist and Sofaists take into account the vital role that the carpet (whether it is fitted or not is - at the moment - just of limited significance) takes it the whole 'furniture 'process, and not only the carpet itself - but what underlies it (the Underlay - if you will), then their theories will be of very limited utility. -- Moderators accept or reject articles based solely on the criteria posted in the Frequently Asked Questions.
