"Digital Physics" (the movie) is now free on Amazon Prime. It is also available for rent/purchase on iTunes and Vimeo, in case you are kind enough to support an independent filmmaker:) Come explore the world of…
If you're interested in the Axiom of Choice, Godel, finitism, pseudo-randomness, complexity, information, and other foundational topics, check out the indie film "Digital Physics" on iTunes, Amazon, or Vimeo. Free packs…
I think Stephen Wolfram is right; Physics is going through a paradigm shift, albeit one that might last decades. Digital Physics is here! https://vimeo.com/ondemand/digitalphysics/
Let Mathematicians frolic in the Platonic world if they wish, but should physicists be using continuous math if our universe ends up by being discrete and finite?
"Say you are playing a game that needs you to pick a real number. If you choose a computable real number, you lose the game. If you choose a real number that is not computable, which the majority real numbers are, then…
Here's a movie recommendation if you're interested in Fredkin, Wolfram, Computation, etc.: "Digital Physics" If you watch it on Vimeo, iTunes, or Amazon and leave a comment you can get a free pack of cards (with gum!).…
1.21 GigaHops!? 1.21 GigaHops!!?!
Your talk of punishment vs rehabilitation is spot on, and very relevant to the "Doesn't the whole justice system collapse if there is no free will?" question. Have you ever heard of how some South American prisons are…
I think in the end we will find out that both interpretations of whether free will exists might be correct, but with determinism being more fundamental. Think about a deterministic machine learning algorithm with a…
I agree. Even though the axiom of choice is independent of ZF, I don't think it is self-evident axiom. It actually seems pretty counter-intuitive if you believe in infinite-precision real numbers that have an infinite…
