Deep Dive: The Busy Beaver Problem

Join us as we explore the Busy Beaver problem: how a tiny Turing machine with a fixed number of states can produce astonishing output or run forever, and why this problem sits at the edge of computability. We’ll unpack halting, uncomputability, and the limits of proof, plus intriguing connections to cellular automata and open mathematical conjectures.
