are you saying that the star system is a computer.
Hmmm... No, but many of the theories man has come to understand, come directly from observations made of the universe. (read: star system)
These observations have led us to OTHER discoveries that has allowed our understanding to grow to the point where technologies can be developed surrounding these theories.
CAVEAT: Remember, ONE BASIC RULE OF PHYSICS: Theories are PROVEN by their EXCEPTIONS!
Quoting: Dream KillerSorry, don't like to seem like I keep hammering on you, but that's a misquote.
It more-or-less happens over the different meanings in English of the word "prove"; the statement works better in German, where it is rendered "probe" (which better approximates the second meaning.)
A theory is not made strong by discovering an exception. A theory is made strong when you encounter an apparent exception.
One of two things happens; either the exception is true and you've managed to falsify the theory. It is now time to look for a better one. Or, the exception turns out to be properly covered by the theory anyhow, (or it is possible -- as it is, say, with relativistic effects and newtonian mechanics -- to use the exception to limit the domain.)
The exception, then, tests the theory. It proofs it the way a proving ground does; the exception is, in fact, a test to destruction of the theory. If it survives the exception, it will be stronger.
