Re: Is Nature unnatural?

This fails to consider the holographic model of the universe. In the bulk model the energy density of the vacuum is overestimated by the ratio of the Hubble volume to it's boundary area (both in Planck units). The holographic model may not be right - but it shows that it's silly to regard

Re: My model, comp, and the Second Law

My initial thoughts looking at your first ref in the old posts, is that you should read The Monadology in the light of your theory, and tell me what you think about that. On Friday, January 27, 2017 at 7:02:13 PM UTC-5, hal Ruhl wrote: > > > Hi Everyone: > > Its been a while since I posted. > >

I've been working on this problem for years and years, to be able to implement something like the 3 laws of Robotics, and make the code immutable so even if they reproduce, they cannot evolve alone. Blockchain technology paves the way for this and I incorporated as Botcoin Inc. as part of a

Hi people, I think that this post is pure trolling. John comes back with questions already answered. Any one can find the answers in the previews posts. If anyone else has a question on this, please ask, or comment, but in this present case we are looping. Does anyone else have a
