My prediction (not theory) is that it would bounce, if we did.

That's really the problem. Virgil is making broad statements, but
incorrectly using words with exact meanings to do so. Hell, we're
programmers. We see 1 and 0. We couldn't sit still and shut up about
it if you duct-taped our lips and nailed us to a chair. What we need is
a DWIM function:
? DWIM("Gravity is only a theory.")
"It might be possible that gravity is not a property of all universes,
or even all of this universe."
See? See how it was impossible for me to just shut the hell up? :-)
