| | So I've written an article about the above questionfor PBS's website---a sort of tl;dr version of my 2005 survey paperNP-Complete Problems and Physical Reality, butupdated with new material about the simulation of quantum field theories and about AdS/CFT. Go over there, read the article (it's free), then come back here to talk about it if...
