It might be interesting except that it executes all possible algorithms. Another instance of proving too much. Now if you would find the diophantine equations that compute this world and only this world that would be something. Well for you to have a valid doubt regarding the everything predicted to exist by all computations, you would need to show why you expect each individual being within that everything should also be able to see everything.So if I tell you everything described in every novel ever written really happened, but on a different planets (many also called "Earth") you couldn't doubt that unless you could show that you should have been able to see all those novels play out.If a theory predicts that everything exists, and also explains why you shouldn't expect to see everything even though everything exists, then you can't use your inability to see everything that exists as a criticism of the theory.
However, I can use the incoherence of "everything exists" to reject it. Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
