Moravec's description in Mind Children, it was computers built out of neutron star material (degenerate matter) used to produce 10^60 operations per second.
O.K. I think I get it... The number of branches in which people miraculously survive is astronomically lower than the number of branches where people die according to the odds.... Hence the likelihood that our world contains Methuselah's (in Dutch we say Methusalem) is close to zero.
