Here's a flyer: there's something a bit ticklish about the HUP.
That and various other bits related to randomness, 2LT, and some of
the quantum oddnesses *might* indeed be such evidence. There's no
support for the statement that there *is* no evidence against this
being the original evidence. A better statement would be that we are
not to date aware of any compelling physical evidence against this
being the original universe.
