Good lord no, just no. Computer Science is not going to be the method to "complete physics." "Complete physics" isn't even a sensible phrase. Source: me, (former) physicist.

To complete physics, which spacetime predictions can or must have zero error?
- sidlls 4y agoThe notion that physics can ever be complete is...not even wrong.
- postalrat 4y agoProve it.
- adastra22 4y agoProve physics can be completed. There will always be higher energies, or greater or smaller scales to explore.
- bowsamic 4y agoIf we can account for every phenomenon that occurs within the scales that we can observe then we can probably claim that physics is complete. Unfortunately it seems that even that might be impossible
- sidlls 4y agoNo, we can’t claim that. It would still be at best an approximation. Perhaps more accurate and/or precise than what we’ve got now, but an approximation nonetheless. We’ve long ago given up on even getting close to what you propose anyway.
- bowsamic 4y agoI’m saying it would be a reasonable definition of complete, and no we absolutely have not given up on a theory of all phenomena
