What's the name of the short story? Sounds like it could be interesting.

"What Continues... and What Fails..." by David Brin, perhaps?
That's the one - thanks!
Not sure about a short story, but there's a novel with that idea: Learning the World: a Scientific Romance by Ken MacLeod
Gregory Benford also wrote a novel that touches on this topic called "Cosm", which is a pretty excellent read.
