God:
It occurred to me to create a fascinating universe that has its own existence with intelligent creatures, not so much like us, but we can entertain enough to follow me not getting bored with your stupid antics.

Devil:
Ah! I get the idea. And how many of these intelligent creatures are going to put in the universe?. If they are very different from each other end up killing each other.

God:
I regret having to give reason, but I want the universe 30 billion last few years, (I need that little parentheses), so at the end of the evolution is going to be many intelligent civilizations. I have to think about how to avoid a fight between them.

Devil:
Mmmm ... you could put a civilization per galaxy, nothing more, so do not kill each other.

God:
I know you, know perfectly well they will find a way to travel between galaxies and kill. Suffer greatly. I think I've found a way to not suffer.

Devil:
How?

God:
Do you know? Higgs particle, that little girl I had thought, I'll give you a lot more mass. Rather than destroying the matter strangelets.

Devil:
Ah! What vivo. Sure, and all civilizations when they reach sufficient technological development and achieve enough energy looking for the Higgs boson will encounter before the strangelets and instantly destroy themselves without realizing it, in the initial phase of the conquest of space. So no contact between them. Neither will last long enough to meet others. Sometimes I think I'm not the devil.

God:
Better that than a cosmic war that will last eons with the tremendous suffering that will entail. Hopefully one that Enrico Fermi was not aware of this detail and resolve the paradox.
