"It is widely accepted now that, without a doubt, information is physical and quantum physics provides the rules of that physical behavior."

So if I say that a joke is funny, they can provide the quantum rules describing why?

And also why you may not think it's funny?

This theory may well be neato spiffy, but it's not universal.

I couldn't find a link to his publication. I'll have to read to see if he's correct.

The universe is exactly what we "THINK" it is.

Just a note on the editorial slant of this article: Turing's legal problems associated with cruising young men in public places has never been established as his motivation for suicide.

He was a pretty moody, emotional individual with many personal issues and he left no suicide note of any kind.

His conviction occurred in March 1952. He died in June 1954. I doubt that it took him more than two years to realize that he received a slap on the wrist on a public indecency charge, and that only then did he decide to commit suicide with a two-year-old incident as his motive.

Alonzo Church and Alan Turing, who essentially invented the modern-day computer.

I have doubts about this. The same with Von Neuman who is also given the same credit. I don't know why we seize on such figures and give them exaggerated importance.

I never understand everything about Quantum Physics, but I also never tire of reading about it. It is such a fascinating field.

OOOOOOWWWWWWW... Me head hurt.

hummmm..........someone please post a picture of Ann Coulter, I've got a headache. ;-)

I believe Turing was also instrumental in cracking the Enigma Code during WWII.

So, Pi is solved. Good...

[Looking for Diogenes]

Kieu believes he has solved both problems. With quantum mechanics, he says he can use a "quantum algorithm" to search through an infinite number of potential solutions to Hilbert's proposed equation and perform the search in a finite period of time. In other words, he can look at every possible solution and be done before dinner!

"We are still trying to figure out where all the quantum calculations are going to take place, since there are not enough atoms in the universe -- about 10 to the power of 80 -- to do the calculations and store the qubits -- individual bits of quantum information," Dr. Gomez explained.

In other words, this solution is speculative.

More fury about a time machine, or sound signifying nothing?

"We are still trying to figure out where all the quantum calculations are going to take place, since there are not enough atoms in the universe -- about 10 to the power of 80 -- to do the calculations and store the qubits -- individual bits of quantum information," Dr. Gomez explained. "David Deutsch says the calculations will occur in an infinite number of other universes that exist parallel to ours.
