There's no solid serious evidence that That that we can construct Physical systems that can compute anything beyond what a Turing machine can compute Or that brains could do anything. So, I mean like you know big your favorite example of a Turing Uncomputable function like the halting problem for three machines Well, I mean nobody can just stare at the problem and find the solution And say oh, yeah, I know here. I'll give you the answer Yeah, that would be an example of human beings Computing something or somehow finding the solution to a problem. That's not Turing computable, but nobody
