   Hi,   
      
   "The main application of de Sitter space is   
   its use in general relativity, where it serves   
     as one of the simplest mathematical models   
   of the universe consistent with the observed   
   accelerating expansion of the universe."   
      
   And Spock aka Thomas 'PointedEars' Lahn though   
   turing machines and busy beavers don't lead   
   to interesting questions in in sci.physics.relativity.   
      
   Bye
