Comment Re: Life is Turing complete (Score 1) 87

Yes, but requires a super resolution of many cells and many generations to represent one logic gate. ( I dont know if anyone has constructed a minimum size configuration and/or proved its the smallest.) It could be that universe is a simulation in a computer with much higher temporal and spatial resolution than our universe. The physics only need to simulated to a resolution of Planck's quantum of action. Beneath that we couldnt tell. The size of the computer in other universe could be vastly larger than our known universe then.

Comment perfect monitor indistinguishable from window (Score 1) 190

I have been observing experiments at SIGGRAPH several decades. Pixels resolution has gotten close to reality. Color systems like Samsungs are getting good. Six colors add some. What is really mindblowing is good dynamic range- capture bright light sources and deep shadows. A good HDR display starts to look like that desired window. Its not just the monitor. The full system requires a compatible camera and encoding protocol. The recently announced HDMI standard upgrade helps.
