That's where the Star Trek technology comes in. You'd need a quantum
computer capable of synthesizing probability amplitudes from the
Planck scale; it's not even decidable whether it's possible yet, let
alone if it would ever be technically and economically feasible.

? Social science need no longer have an inferiority complex. What gives ?
