I completly disagree :-( If we want to get new insight, we need such
discussions about terms. If we want to stay on the place and if we
talk only about implementions of models which are common right now, of
course, than it don't care.
So - extremly pronounced - if we had sometime computers with no
discrete time (DNA computers, quantum computers and what might happen
all in future) my question is: does the terms and models hold which we
are using know ?
I've read a quotation from Albert Einstein these days (free
translated): "a point of view is a horizont of mind with radios zero"
;-))
In that sense......
Greetings
Hans
