That's why INTEL couldn't make computers out of them and had to use atoms made silicon that obey the laws of physics instead.

Not Turing’s building a “real machine” to win the war against the Germans.* I am talking about a paper tape made of atoms and a read/write head with just 2 symbols that may or may not eventually stop depending on the sequence of symbols on the paper tape. *> Yes, for pedagogical reason, the Turing formalism looks more like a human (BTW), which was the goal. But even Turing will use the von Neuman model of computation to implement his “Turing machine” * It's the same principle but for practical reasons Turing used vacuum tubes rather than a paper tape, it's faster. Mechanical calculator or modern iPhone, at the most fundamental level all computers can always be reduced down to a Turing machine. *>indeed it is Turing who will prove them equivalent to lambda calculus* Godel always maintained that Turing's accomplishment was greater than that of Alonzo Church for the very reason's I've been talking about. Church's idea was purely mathematical and Turing's idea could also be thought about in an abstract way, but unlike Church Turing's concept could be implemented physically too. You can't do any lambda Calculus unless you've already got a working Turing Machine to do it on. > *Aristotle Theology seems to be your theology.* That statement is not true in English but it is true in Brunospeak at least for today. I think. However that language mutates so swiftly that it may or may not be true tomorrow. > *Aristotle theology is what I called* [...] Sorry, I just can't keep up with the changing meaning of "Aristotle theology". > You come back with your assumption that some hardware would be more real than other, but then you have to tell me what it is, If I emulate Windows on my iMac and the emulator dies my iMac is still fine, if the operating system of my iMac dies the microprocessor chip in my computer is still fine. > *and how it interfere with the computations in arithmetic.* It's called "Physics". >> Communism says the state can take all my stuff so it can be equally > distributed (although some people are more equal than others), but if I > disagree with that idea and don't want anybody to take my stuff then the > state must use force, and history has certainly shown they are not shy > about doing exactly that.

You belong to the soldier who protect the confessional authoritarian theologian against the bastard greek pagan philosophers* My Brunospeak is very poor and you're the world expert so I'll just take your word that in Brunospeak the above statement is true. >> Instead of freezing a cadaver would it be more moral to put it in the > ground and let it be eaten by worms or burn it up in a furnace? *> The pioneer of immortality will go to hell. Why? Because they will give their Gödel number to everybody (an infinity of humans, notably)/ Why? Because they are born before the absolute quantum encryption encoding, discover in 4000, which guaranties no one can copy you.* Your Gödel number is very large but is no closer to being infinite than the number 2 is, so somebody can just try them all and put all of them in hell with me, and then we can argue about this forever. Or maybe they already have and we are there right now. By the way, your Godel number is DIGITAL.
