If the universe was smart enough to form for itself the beautiful set of
laws and principles that we 
call "physics", then it would seem to know itself pretty well already.

And how long has the universe been around? Forever? If so, then it would
already have had 
enough time to get to know itself. If it hasn't been around forever, then
where did it come from, 
and who made it? A momma universe?

What would lead a person to think that space-time has intelligence in the
first place?

But, I know that to actually examine an idea is something that you consider
evil...
