Some of these questions may be profound, and some silly. (In fact, they may be sorted in order of profound to silly.) My education is spotty in these areas. I'm most interested in specific references that help answer (or destroy) these questions. 1. What test could determine if a computational

Greetings list members. This is my joining post. Recent headlines indicate that there is empirical evidence now that our known universe is about 13 billion years old, it is essentially flat, and that space/time continues to be inflationary (we are in a continuing big bang state) after

I unsubscribed for the FOR list about 6 months ago, as I found I could no longer put up with the dross on that list (not that DD is dross, of course!). I must admit, I'm not entirely sure what problem DD is alluding to here. In order to apply the SSA requires a measure on the reference class.
