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

ime intervals then I may indeed reach it. On the other hand, some series never converge. I will never reach infinity how ever many steps I take. The Barber Paradox Now, for a slightly harder paradox, let’s suppose there is a town with just one barber. In this town, every man keeps himself clean-shaven b

e problem, my brain continued to work on it. I was not conscious of this, I was only aware that failing to solve the problem annoyed me. I then had a Eureka moment. Although I couldn't prove a piece of music was non-computational, I could make one! - a piece that could not have been created using computat

sh into itself? Does Crash halt if it runs with the input Crash? This creates a paradox; there is no solution which makes sense. It’s similar to the Barber Paradox of earlier. Since a paradox is created there must be a fault in our original theory. The error is the existence of Crash. Since Crash cannot
