No. Obviously not. It's a daft question. But, buried underneath
\r\nthis daft question is an extremely interesting one: is it possible to
\r\nsimulate the known laws of physics on a computer? Remarkably, there is a
\r\nmathematical theorem, due to Nielsen and Ninomiya, that says the answer is
\r\nno. I'll explain this theorem, the underlying reasons for it, and some
\r\nrecent work attempting to circumvent it.
