You still have the same contradiction. You are trying to say that the hypothetical computer has existed for an infinite amount of time and that it had a beginning.
That contradiction is what is leading to the paradox.
It is premise 2 that has the contradiction. That is where you are saying that the computer has existed forever and it has a beginning point. That contradiction is the flaw in your logic. That contradiction is what leads to your paradox.
That is incorrect.
PREMISES:
1. time is constant
2. computer exists forever calculating 1 digit of pi a second
3. the computer would have calculated an infinite amount of digits by the time our state of existence has come
Time is progressive. If matter existed before the big bang, then it would be in existence and have physical effects. These physical effects are the same as if a real computer was operating in the universe. This hypothetical computer would give off no heat, use no energy, have no mass, etc... Besides, the calculations that a computer does are actual physical effects. If you can't account for the cause of a physical effect (1 second in this case), and the effect of the computer calculating another digit, then you should conclude that matter did not exist at one time.
I should have rephrased my premises to this.
My premises rephrased --
The NeS paradox forever
1. time is constant.
2. The computer
existed forever.
3. The computer calculated 1 digit of pi a second.
4. The computer would have calculated an
infinite amount of digits by the time our state of existence.
The NeS paradox beginning
1. time is constant.
2. The computer came in to
existence at a point of time.
3. The computer calculated 1 digit of pi a second.
4. The computer would have
calculated a certain amount of digits by the time our state of existence.
Now, lets assume that computer was all matter that existed forever instead.
Interaction -
Interaction - Definitions from Dictionary.com
2. Physics.
a. the direct effect that one kind of particle has on another, in particular, in inducing the emission or absorption of one particle by another.
prior events -
preceding in order of the current present. Each event is the location and direction of every force, atom (and subatomic particles), and energies.
1. If matter interacts at our current state of existence then matter would have to interact since its existence.
2. If it did not interact since its existence, then there would have to be a cause for its spontaneous interaction.
3. If matter interacts because of prior events, then there would have to be a prior event based on a specific event that causes interaction.
If matter did not interact since its existence, then the current interaction would be caused by prior events, the direction of every force, atom (and subatomic particles), and energies. All of it would be uncaused, since all prior events rely on prior events which ultimately depend on a single event.
Why does someone always replies with invalid logical bullshit that I'll simply keep on refuting?
By digressing into the infinite past, there is never a "day one" for said computer to start calculating pi.
The only way for the computer to exist at all is to have always existed, per your "always existed" premise. This means that it would have the complete answer right now, but no matter how hard we tried we could never observe the answer.
Finally someone understands! You could not even observe what digit it currently calculated on the second or the last completed digit.
The computer calculates 1 digit of pi a second.
If the computer calculated "3.14", then you know it came into existence 3 seconds before, therefore it did not exist forever.
If the computer never calculated "3.14", then it never even started to calculate pi! :rofl
The simple fact is that time is progressive, it is going to potential infinity. However, it will never reach actual infinity. Once you know time is progressive then you can conclude that the universe came in to existence at a point of time
