5691 2 Are the Androids Dreaming Yet? sure you will. This is intimation. Finally, some inspiration or insight will pop into your head — this is the Eureka moment. Now you have a solution but intuitive thinking is far from infallible. You will need to check the solution and may find your answer wrong the
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
count up starting at 1 then 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on until I try every number. Will this eventually get to the War and Peace number? The answer is yes. Eureka! All of human knowledge is computable. I have written this computation out as a simple computer program below. It says, in plain English, start at ze
Once again, I disprove the theory. Since both routes fail, James’ list of prime numbers is not complete and, therefore, prime numbers are infinite. Feynman's Proof My favorite piece of logic is Richard Feynman's disproof of the existence of polywater. It’s a strange logical proof bordering on philosophy
