I'm pretty sure this is BS.
The linked medium post does nothing to defend the implicit premise that the universe can be computed in a reasonable amount of time by classical computers.
- frozenport 10y agoIndeed it is, interference phenomena have so far scaled up to fairly large many atom structures in rather predictable ways. The real problem for Quantum mechanics starts happening when needing to explain gravity.
- dlubarov 10y agoI think you're talking past the parent, whose point is that our universe's physics may not be polynomial time computable (or computable at all, for that matter).
- ikeboy 10y agoI made two different points. The first is that there's nothing that "obeys Newtonian mechanics rather than the quantum variety.", it's quantum all the way up. The second is what you said. Guess it wasn't clear enough that the two points aren't related.
