Re: GUT and P=NP

Berzerk says:

Unless *all* problems in the GUT were of class P and it was deterministic(ala bohm).

That would make no difference. This tells us nothing about what problems that are not in class P are like -- and our question is, after all, if there are problems in NP that are not in P. The determinism never even comes into play. Beyond that, the possibility of such a mapping between P and GUT is so miniscule as to be infinitesimal, and certainly has nothing to do with the question of whether the universe is closed (which is what the original poster suggested), especially since GUT doesn't predict the mass of the matter in the universe and thus makes no prediction on openness or closedness.
