I’ll have to think about this also.

There is also a possibility that on some issues the two theories may both be correct. You can't prove a theory is correct, you can only show that it passes all the available experimental (and other) tests. You lost me with Turing emulable. This is (almost) just a fancy way of saying that something can be run on a computer. The "almost" is because Turing envisaged an "ideal" computer for the purposes of working out results (like what can in principle be computed), so for this to be fully in line with Turing's ideas, the computer in question needs to be a universal one (capable of doing any possible computation) ... which all existing computers aren't, of course, because they have a finite amount of memory and disc space - but for most practical purposes I believe a real computer is a good approximation to a Turing machine, and if you allow that, if you needed to, you could always attach more storage, you would effectively have something that was a universal computer "for all practical purposes". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
