  1. I wish you had more fact.
  2. I don't like the way you have phrased that. "Animals have the ability to mutate their genetic code" suggests it is under their control somehow; and that they choose when, and maybe how, mutations should occur. I would rather start from the facts that 1. there are variations in populations (which can be brought about by things like mutation) 2. some of these variations are heritable 3. some of these variations may improve or reduce the chance of individuals surviving and reproducing From that, evolution is a necessary end result. (It would take divine intervention to prevent it happening!)
  3. That is only a limit in the sense that we don't have any theories that can describe what happens. It doesn't mean that there cannot be a higher temperature.
  4. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/roots-of-unity/a-few-of-my-favorite-spaces-the-long-line/
  5. Yep. There is evidence that quantum effects are significant in certain complex molecules. But that doesn't appear to answer the question about "hypercomputation", which is an entirely hypothetical concept that hasn't even been shown to exist in principle, never mind claiming that it exists in reality.
  6. Can you be more specific? How does what work? what is the difference between those two sentences. They mean the same thing to me. What does that mean? But then you wouldn't be able to model quantum effects that depend on non-locality.
  7. I can't see why. We currently use processors to simulate things that are faster than the processor.
  8. And how exactly (quantitatively, mathematically) will the results change? No it wouldn't. There are models of quantised space-time (and proposed experiments to test some of them). So there are natural explanations for such a thing without resorting to things like simulation.
  9. But you said: So either it follows the existing rules or it doesn't follow rules. Which is it?
  10. Citation needed.
  11. That occurred to me, but I thought it would be off-topic to ask...
  12. Do you have any evidence that "hypercomputation" exists? In biological systems or elsewhere?
  13. Who said that? Note that superposition comes from the math ("rules") of quantum theory and was, as far as I know, predicted before it was observed experimentally.
  14. If it doesn't follow rules, then it isn't science.
  15. No one is going to perform an experiment based on random guesses. But if they were, you would need to provide something better than that: quantitive predictions.
  16. You have a lot more chance of getting the Peace Prize than one in Physics.
  17. Waaaay of topic. But no. http://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2016/10/27/new-supernova-results-is-the-universe-not-accelerating/ Now it is on topic, you might like this recent review of the status of various current theories: http://backreaction.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/what-if-dark-matter-is-not-particle.html
  18. The only references to "synaptic hypercomputation" that I can find are your forum posts on the subject. (And someone by the name of Etienne Robillard posting almost identical comments.) So is there any evidence that such a mechanism exists?
  19. Complete nonsense. (Just like all your posts.)
  20. Sounds like it might be an NP complete problem. Tell people they may have to wait an exponential amount of time.
  21. Which has nothing to do with climate change.
  22. What is the cause of climate change over the last 100 years or so? What evidence do you have that it is not the release of CO2 by human activity? what is the difference? No you haven't. Nothing you have said appears relevant to climate change.
  23. You are right. It is much easier to not learn and remain ignorant. The question has been asked and answered by science. The fact is that you appear totally ignorant about this. You have given no answer to the "why" of climate change. You have made some vague, and partly incorrect, statements about seasons. That is all.
  24. Again, I think you mean IR not UV. But this is just one example of the ignorance you show in all your posts.
  25. No one said that, so that is a ludicrous caricature and a straw man fallacy. If all you have is sarcastic comment, it may be better not to post.
