The paradoxes can be resolved by assuming a very rich collection of hidden degrees of freedom of the SYM theory which store information but give rise to no local energy ...

Two Puzzles About Computation

Turing’s classical analysis of computation [13] gives a compelling account of the nature of the computational process; of how we compute. This allows the notion of computability, of what can in principle be computed, to be captured in a mathematically precise fashion. The purpose of this note is to raise two different questions, which are rarely if ever considered, and to which, it seems, we la...
