Then, we formulate the Quantum Computer View of quantum spacetime. Within this model, one finds that quantum spacetime might be in a entangled state, and might quantum-evaluate Boolean functions which are the laws of Physics in their most fundamental form. \\ The view of physical laws seems similar to what has been suggested by Wolfram research founder. Can we run the universe in Mathematica code? :-) Yvan Bozzonetti. --part1_157.1fa2765d.2c00b366_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=21791
