So a universal computer could compute the result of itself being sucked into a black hole and having contact with the interior (singularity or whatever lies there). — Marchesk
Although, this seems unfair. I'm guessing the idea of simulating precludes the thing doing the simulating, otherwise we have regress and self-referential issues. I might as well ask if the computer can simulate itself itself being introduced to a really strong magnet, or whatever would disrupt a QC. — Marchesk
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
