>in any meaningful way
Whooohaaa! Where do you think that the mechanisms that allow us to build atomic clocks and telescopes and quantum computer come from if not from the human mind?! Are angels doing it for us?
- tgragnato 5y agoThe linked publication https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/giqtm3.pdf https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/giqtm3.pdf speculates that the universe and our brain are "quantum Turing machines". Given the assumptions, we need to count in the fundamental limits on computation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_computation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_computation It's safe to deduce our brain can't simulate the universe, but only a "less powerful" description/representation of it. Otherwise the assumptions are inconsistent, and a paradox arises. Obviously, since we don't know how the brain nor the universe work... It's all speculation
