Plasmatic Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 The article has the usual duality nonsense throughout it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert J. Kolker Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) The article has the usual duality nonsense throughout it. Are you referring to wave/particle duality? Please specify what you mean by "duality nonsense". Thank you. Bob Kolker Edited February 14, 2010 by Robert J. Kolker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus98876 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Other obvious criticism : The article seems to imply that quantum computers will allow computer simulations “will do exactly the same as nature.”. Except this assumes that the things are programmed in such a way that the simulations take into account everything required to actually give us the same results. And that the model uses the correct assumptions in the first place. I dont care how powerful your computer is, your simulations will be no better then the assumptions etc your simulation takes into account.
