When we talk about computers today we mean machines, but it is worth noting computers in Turing’s time were more often humans using pencil and paper. The mechanical computers before Turing were elementary at best. Rudimentary calculating machi

He wanted to know
er I go on holiday to escape engineering for a couple of weeks. While away I indulge my passion for reading books by the likes of Douglas Hofstadter, David Deutsch and Stephen Hawking. One book that struck me years ago was Roger Penrose’s The Emperors New Mind. In it, he tackles the question of what happens in t

se could be preprogrammed with every theory we could ever discover within it. (There would be no arbitrary problems.) This argument neatly sidesteps Turing’s theorem by specifying there is no such thing as an arbitrary problem - a random problem picked from the infinite set of problems. At the same time,

David Deutsch has suggested human creativity is used to guess the ‘program’ running in someone's mind, and evolved so we can learn skills. Instead, might face- to-
