That would be philosophical questions.
In addition to that, human minds may possess some qualities above our current understanding of physical reality.
And wouldn't the experiment "proving" that we understand it all, precisely, be the creation of an AI equaling or surpassing the human mind?
- jerf 14y ago"human minds may possess some qualities above our current understanding of physical reality." While you are free to believe that, you should be aware that you've chosen to leave science and logic behind, and expect to be treated as such. I do not mean that in the sense that you are therefore wrong, or that that is necessarily a bad thing; we must all make choices that leap beyond the light that science can cast, as the light is quite limited in some ways. But nevertheless, you have explicitly tossed anything that can be discussed in concrete terms overboard. Usually I'm saying this in the context of whether we'll ever have FTL. Yes, you are free to believe that the next supercollider will produce some bizarre result that turns out to be something we can harness for FTL... but meanwhile, in the real world, the evidence gets ever tighter that it is impossible. If you wish to take a flight of fancy, fine, but please be aware that is what you are doing. And do not mistake it choosing to toss rationality overboard for rational argument; you can't have it both ways.
