Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of a "universal calculation," which appears to refer to a theoretical calculation encompassing the entire universe. Participants explore who among historical and contemporary physicists might be capable of such a calculation, touching on the implications of knowledge and advancements in physics over time.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that Einstein and Newton could solve the universal calculation, albeit over an extended period.
  • Another participant challenges this view, arguing that Newton and Einstein had less knowledge about the universe compared to many modern physicists.
  • A third participant expresses confusion about the term "universe calculation," seeking clarification.
  • A fourth participant questions whether the discussion pertains to the descriptions of space-time.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the capabilities of historical physicists versus contemporary ones, and there is uncertainty regarding the definition of the "universe calculation."

out of every physicist known to man who would you think could solve the universe calculation? 1 calcution based on the entire universe

I would say einstein and Newton could do it, but would take an extreme length of time.

You are going to have to be more specific about what you mean.

Newton and Einstein have much less knowledge about the universe than many of today's physicists.

Newton in particular came at a time when there was a lot to discover about physics, and hence was able to discover a lot.
 
Errr... the "universe calculation?"
