Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Turing Incompleteness is a pathway to many powers the Computer Scientists would consider incalculable.

In fact, there's infinite problems that cannot be solved by Turing machnes!

(There are countably many Turing-computable problems and uncountably many non-Turing-computable problems)

Infinite seems like it's low-balling it, then. 0% of problems can be solved by Turing machines (same way 0% of real numbers are integers)

The subset of integers in the set of reals is non-zero. Sure, I guess you could represent it as arbitrarily small small as a ratio, but it has zero as an asymptote, not as an equivalent value.

The cardinality is obviously non-zero but it has measure zero. Probability is about measures.
