More likely I was the one that didn't understand. Reading what wikipedia tells about it i understood better what is the situation. From a philosophical point of view I think however looks like there is indeed a problem. Is just a theorical - but infeasible - experiment for confutation sufficient ? I think I triggered my friend telling him that I found on the web a discussion about a certain book of theorical physics was considered just a joke made up by piling physics buzzwords by some, and a real theory by others. Finding that even this was a non-obvious problem amused me, and he told me that advanced physics now has this kind of problems with current theories that are so complex and so impossible to check that it's even questionable they're not breaking logic and the scientific method and are instead a question of faith and opinions.
