ns had perfected their calculations to predict the motion of Venus and it proved reliable over a whole century? Would this constitute understanding? Feynman would say no: the Mayan understanding was not complete. It was only black box equivalent to our modern understanding over a limited period. We known

was the time that Hillis asked Nobel-prize winning physicist Richard Feynman to tip him off about any smart scientists Thinking Machines might hire. Feynman, pushing 60, volunteered himself and spent his summer vacations for the next ten years with Hillis and his team.1?! When it came time to test the fir
