They could discern what math corresponds to physical laws, and use those laws to predict anything that happens before it happens. That time has passed. Gödel's undecidability results (the incompleteness theorems), Turing's proof of non-computable values, the formulation of quantum theory, chaos, and other developments over the past century have shown that there are rigorous arguments limiting what we can prove, compute, and predict. While some connections between these results have come to light, many remain obscure, and the implications are unclear. Are there, for example, real consequences for physics--including quantum mechanics--of undecidability and non-computability? Are there implications for our understanding of the relations between agency, intelligence, mind, and the physical world? This book, based on the winning essays from the annual FQXi competition, contains ten explorations of Undecidability, Uncomputability, and Unpredictability. The contributions abound with connections, implications, and speculations while undertaking rigorous but bold and open-minded investigation of the meaning of these constraints for the physical world, and for us as humans. 001439087 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 30, 2021). 001439087 650_0 $$aDecidability (Mathematical logic) 001439087 650_0 $$aCompleteness theorem. 001439087 650_0 $$aIncompleteness theorems. 001439087 650_0 $$aQuantum theory. 001439087 650_6 $$aDécidabilité (Logique mathématique) 001439087 650_6 $$aThéorème de complétude. 001439087 650_6 $$aThéorèmes d'incomplétude. 001439087 650_6 $$aThéorie quantique. 001439087 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001439087 7001_ $$aAguirre, Anthony$$q(Anthony Nicholas),$$eeditor. 001439087 7001_ $$aMerali, Zeeya,$$eeditor. 001439087 7001_ $$aSloan, David,$$eeditor. 001439087 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tUndecidability, uncomputability, and unpredictability.$$dCham : Springer, [2021]$$z3030703533$$z9783030703530$$w(OCoLC)1235470072 001439087 830_0 $$aFrontiers collection.$$x2197-6619 001439087 852__ $$bebk 001439087 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-70354-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001439087 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1439087$$pGLOBAL_SET 001439087 980__ $$aBIB 001439087 980__ $$aEBOOK 001439087 982__ $$aEbook 001439087 983__ $$aOnline 001439087 994__ $$a92$$bISE
