Moderation. Where did Srdja's thread go?

[Eelco de Groot]

"You are not authorized to view this forum". Are we suddenly moderating threads now that have been here more than half a year already or is this about any new posts? Will we rewrite history again by the silent majority that is 99.99% fake accounts. One almost gets sympathy for Elon Musk.

What? It's right there: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=81048. Looks like the last three posts were removed because their authors, you among them btw., were unable to stick to the topic and instead started CTF'ing the thread. Which is also why the thread is not displayed on the first page anymore, because the last active post is now a while since.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up, the thread was not visible a few minutes ago. As long as the existing thread is still there, it would be a shame to rewrite Srdja's thread now after all this time. At least people got to read my post, and thanks for the replies guys! It was just a single post from me and one in TC's thread, well you can't please everybody and the thread in Ed's forum by TC is there. What I wanted to say mainly, we could use some new members Even though there are forums there I dare not enter. Be warned!

I'm still protesting against the removal of the posts in question though. If I could save the texts I would be happy to post them elsewhere, unfortunately my Windows crashed just at the same time as the posts were removed and I have no copy. There are no coincidences. Somebody did not want this known, and there is only memory. The restoration will have to be on the foundations of that. But not here I suppose.

They did not belong in this forum.
I'm glad that they were removed.

IMHO, there was/is a link to chess.

To ponder about the nature of the universe in context of chess? Why not? We are still missing something in the scientific bigger picture, how to apply this onto computers, onto computer chess? Maybe with an Hyper-Turing-Machine? How will an Hyper-Turing-Machine play chess? Valid topic?

Eelco's OP was about infinite speed, Warp 10 in Star Trek, here an according snippet of the WP article about Hypercomputing:

It seems natural that the possibility of time travel (existence of closed timelike curves (CTCs)) makes hypercomputation possible by itself. However, this is not so since a CTC does not provide (by itself) the unbounded amount of storage that an infinite computation would require. Nevertheless, there are spacetimes in which the CTC region can be used for relativistic hypercomputation.[14] According to a 1992 paper,[15] a computer operating in a Malament–Hogarth spacetime or in orbit around a rotating black hole[16] could theoretically perform non-Turing computations for an observer inside the black hole.[17][18] Access to a CTC may allow the rapid solution to PSPACE-complete problems, a complexity class which, while Turing-decidable, is generally considered computationally intractable.[19][20]
