ABCNEWS.com : Scientists Want to Know Why Sex Is Popular
"The field is tired about talking about theory," Kondrashov said.
"My sense is that it's more or less accepted that there are a couple of coherent ideas, reasonable ideas which may explain what happens," he said.
"And also it is accepted that we are still pretty far from knowing what actually happens."
Clearly a case of "Just do it".... perhaps a sprinling of Turing's Law's will open up that possibility to readers confused by ABC's flat-landers:
(quoted from "Turing's Law - Ambiguity and Computability")
- Law of Computation (conscious intent): Turing Church: expressions are computable if, and only if, the terms can be represented by finite numbers and the expression can be computed by finite means.
-
- Law of Ambiguity (conscious intent): Turing Babbage: (unlike math) computation must include selection statements, however all ambiguities must be resolved by computation.
Law of Finite Space (conscious intent): Turing Schrodinger: the universe is measured in indivisible quantum states and our knowledge is finite, thus the known universe is finite.
the known is finite, the unknown infinite. me, i like meeting the unknown.. to triangulate the unknowable. weekend topics :)
nutshell: sex is where you meet the unknown; the rest is obsession. period.
