Turkey always backs both sides until it sees a clear winner.

"Goldilocks" indeed. That imagery comes from a children's fiction."

of course it does - that's why it is used - because it succinctly explains the concept.

"It's interesting that, in trying to explain difficult-to-understand phenomena, our revered academicians fall back on such things. They could have just as easily called this a "God" universe, in which everything seems to be the work of an all-wise creator; but they do not do this. Golly, I wonder why ;-)"

I guess it might boil down to semantics for some - everyone has a different idea of what 'God' is after all. BUt yes, in positing the existence of infinite multiverses because it fits well with the maths - some scientists are OK with some really, really absurd cosmologies. But whoever it was that said 'we not only live in a universe that is stranger than we think, we live in a universe that is stranger than we CAN think' - was right.

"I'd better quit there -- this is like a sudoku puzzle that has gone terribly wrong. I already have Turkey on both "sides", so this whole lineup is turning into a mess."

Turkey has always tried to have it both ways - so no shock there at all. In fact it would be surprising if they were NOT on both sides.
