My post is NOT related to any notion of a designed universe. A Turing machine is a description of the minimal functionality needed to carry out any computation. It is totally unrelated to any notion of religiosity. And Turing was almost certainly an atheist. So my question has no...
Here is a fun philosophical question I wonder about sometimes, given that my background is in computer science and not physics. In the field of computer science, a Turing Machine is considered to be able to carry out any computation. So, philosophically, could the universe be thought of as a...
I know this question is probably fairly basic but I had a hard time finding an answer on google. Does a single atom vibrate/jiggle/oscillate if it has a temperature (ie is not at absolute zero)? Is this vibration random in direction? If it is random, wouldn't this violate the law of...
