No, I was mostly agreeing with you, except to reframe the comparison as "an intelligenct creature would be the same size that they are in our universe. As far as we're concerned, we're normal sized, and quarks are small."
I also address the "it's so SLOW!" comment I saw a few other places. There was no single comment that made the most sense to reply to, and I figured I might as well tie the comments together since I saw them as related.
Conway’s Game of Life is Turing-complete. Therefore, it is possible to create an AI in it. If you created a 3^^3 by 3^^3 Life board, setting the initial state at random, presumably somewhere an AI would be created. Would this AI somehow take over the whole game board, if given enough time?
Would this be visible from the top, as it were?
EDIT: I probably meant 3^^^3, sorry. Also, by generating at random, I meant 50% chance on. But any other chance would work too, I suspect.
