   Mild Shock to olcott   
   Pot Head Olcott: BB(5) is only S(5)=47,1

   Hi,   
      
   Pot Head Olcott, what are you smoking?   
   BB(5) is only S(5)=47,176,870 steps.   
      
   Why invoke Einstein who believe in a   
   10–100 million light-years wide universe?   
      
   Can you explain?   
      
   Bye   
      
   P.S.: Turing machines that don't terminate   
   AND extend the tape indefinitely are of   
   course other wordly, relative to Einstein,   
   if Einstein would have assumed that the   
      
   Universe does not expand. Einstein Universe   
   was indeed Static, non-expanding. And   
   expanding universe theory was formed after   
   Hubble (1929). And a turing machine could   
      
   expand in lockstep with an universe, right?
