Fumfer Physics 34: P vs NP, Gödel, Chaitin, and Computational Limits
In this exchange, Scott Douglas Jacobsen and Rick Rosner explore the P vs NP problem and its philosophical echoes. Rosner leans toward the mainstream view that P likely does not equal NP, drawing a parallel to Gödel’s incompleteness theorems.

The conversation emphasizes that mathematical uncertainty does not endanger reality; instead, it reveals intrinsic limits on what computation can achieve. The pair illustrate this with the traveling salesman problem, an archetype of explosive combinatorial complexity in the real world.

Ambition can be loud. It can roar, it can demand, it can crash through walls with the force of a storm. But sometimes, ambition is quieter—more precise, more intentional.
