Have you seen the previously posted slashdot article that was by a few MIT guys that made a program-maker (and pacman was the example shown)? This could have spared you the trouble:)
> This just makes me think that, however refined your theory gets, there is a deeper level of complexity. You can get infinitely close to the truth, but never quite there. Fortunately, in Real Life, small errors aren't that noticeable. Except, of course, things like the small fraction of mass that gets converted into a massive amount of energy in nuclear reactions.
You cannot get infinitely close to the truth. If you attempt to observe an extremely small particle, you will have to throw photons at it. Because it was proven that photons have energy, it will be converted into heat on contact and therefore it will raise the temperature enough to wipe out the former state of the object, which renders the whole examination useless.
I heard about 2 years ago that the word blue comes from the early thought that the moon is made of cheese, and therefore it got the its name from the type of cheese it was beleived to be: bleu.

Ofcourse, you do have beer commercials to pay it off...
