Machines, unless their designer is malicious, just don't do random. So, can they ever think? Or does thinking involve emotion, which allows random in. Which route leads to pair-a-dice? Feeling machines or thinking people? Will machines ever think?
We know that subatomic particles can only be pinned down to the scope of a probability function. Is there an analogous "possibility function" to describe something from nothing?
Is this guy just nuts, or might he be on to something? It's also possible he's just pulling your leg, but what if he's not? Too bad there aren't more choices, but if you vote "art" against my "science" then you'll succeed in burying me. Go ahead and make my day!
The Hadron Collider is still having trouble getting started, leaving openings for all sorts of crazy thoughts about how maybe these Higg's bosons just don't want to be found. It gets you thinking - read the Time Magazine article if you think I'm the only one who's nuts here.
