	Is this the best of all possible universes? [[wikipedia:Candide\|Voltaire's Candide]] examined the notion that this world is certainly not the best of all possible worlds, but what of the universe? Is there a better universe that can be conceived? What would a better universe even look like? Unless you are willing to forego the rules of [[logic]], it is unlikely for some [[Utopia\|utopian]] universe to even be possible. Can a universe exist without ~~pain~~? Can [[love]] exist without heartache? Even in a completely alternate [[reality]], this is impossible.		Is this the best of all possible universes?
