I want to take a wheel cheese and create a mite civilization and need your help...

True enough, that would be qutie a victory. However if the test tube is taken to be the entire universe one is left with the original question.

Come to think of it, that is only true if the universe is a truly closed system. There may be wiggle room there. If (and only if) there is no such thing as a truly closed system then there is the possibility for a truly heroic narrative.

Hope springs eternal.

M: Well if it can be done I will be happy with however it happens. Years ago in the golden age I used to ride my motorcycle to Half Moon Bay to a country store and buy panattoni, salami, and a big cut of cheddar cheese, sliced with a blade from a two foot wheel of cheese. Mites, of course, in those days, were the furthest thing from my mind. I only wanted to get my blanket out on the beach, pop open a coke, and eat and stare out at the sea with my beautiful girlfriend.

Ah, therein lies the crux! All the rest is coy delicacy to couch your invitation, I see this now! Take our pleasures while we may and all that. Shall LB and I to join you on a beautiful summer evening beach, replacing coke with wine? We will speak of cabbages and kings and wax rinds of cheese and grow a mite tipsy and perhaps

M: Well once I can get 5.974 x 10 24 kg of cheese in stable orbit I think the rest will be all down hill.

plan a cheese launch into space.

Pick a date in August, good sir, and Half Moon Bay it is!

Hope springs eternal.

That earned you this from ED...

"That I always did love,
I bring thee proof:
That till I loved
I did not love enough.

That I shall love alway,
I offer thee
That love is life,
And life hath immortality.

This doth thou doubt, sweet?
Then have I Nothing
to show but Calvary."

M: I don't know. It would seem that out of the cold benign indifference of the universe life evolved and from that life came awareness love and empathy. I do not believe evolution has a purpose, an arrow or direction, some aim to which we evolve. I believe that what has evolved as evolved because it had to by virtue of the laws the govern the universe. For me then, love is an innate property of the universe, inevitable because it is inherent, that chance can only lead to the possible and what is possible is what the universe allows. And the will to live can only exist because it is possible to live and because it is possible to will. There is a Buddhist prayer that goes, I vow to save all sentient beings, and another from somewhere that says the worth of a man is seen in his aim.

I don't know either. But then, I'm not the engineer. What began may have always been and in some way will always be. The caution here, it seems to me, is in the wrench... below which lies the matter... Life or immortality!

Life waits for death, a certainty while immortality waits forever... In the one case the saving of beings is not needed and in the other it don't matter.

So, the answer to your dilemma is found between to words... Life and Immortality. Your choice to reach and guided by words He tried to teach...!!!
