I am unable to predict any engineering advantage to any proposed high energy theory even if it were to explain dark energy. That includes comp. What I can predict is that such a valid theory may change our conception of reality. In particular it may determine if a god is possible and exists and/or if a Many World multiverse exists. My personal prediction is that it is one or the other, either MWI or a god and a supernatural realm.
