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

lesman wishing to find the shortest route between all the cities in which he had customers. The complexity of this problem rises much faster than the Rice and Chess Board problem. Try it for yourself. It doesn’t matter if you imagine you are visiting customers or shops. I have given you a grid to count

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

as logical problems. Where is the logic limit for life? We have no answer for this yet, but we do know the logic limit for computing; it is given by Rice’s Theorem. Named after Henry Rice, and proven in 1951 as part of his doctoral thesis at Syracuse University, Rice’s Theorem states: “No nontrivial f
