      XPost: alt.philosophy, comp.theory       From: janburse@fastmail.fm              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              Mild Shock schrieb:       > Hi,       >       > Maybe the local rules of a turing machine       > head slow down, because energy density gets       > less and less.
