The trouble with this proposition, which appears to make the mistake of 
projecting a local (and locally highly-esteeemed) state of matter upon the 
rest of the universe, is that it's no more plausible than, say:

this is a broccoli-like universe <snip>
or

this is a musical universe <snip>

or

this is a sheep-like universe <snip>

Lemme guess....roast lamb with broccoli, accompanied by Bach?
No fava beans?
