Science and Computation

Cellular Automata

This is a world where massive amounts of data and applied mathematics replace every other tool that might be brought to bear. Out with every theory of human behavior, from linguistics to sociology. Forget taxonomy, ontology, and psychology. Who knows why people do what they do? The point is they do it, and we can track and measure it with unprecedented fidelity. With enough data, the numbers speak for themselves.»

Those days I’ve found some references to what’s called «Science 2.0».

Starting with this more conservative approach, to this radical one, being inspiring, to me they all present a fancy position.

Read this and this to get things into context.

What’s next? Are you guys going to state that P=NP because we can use “The Cloud” as the oracle in an Oracle Turing Machine?

Give me a break!
