Is the Number of Harry Potter Universes Finite?
I would like to think, for example, that whatever the quantum gravity theory of computation is, we'll just see quantum computation as it is now as a special case. So we'll still have this universality. It could rule out explanatory universality. But thinking about that now, all that stilling is just putting a wall in front of progress. Better to just presume computational universality holds. Because if you don't, it's just postulating God. And assuming everything can be understood does allow for progress. In fact, it's the precondition for progress.
