supertask

When we get to instant t* = 1 P.M. we will have carried out an infinite sequence of actions, that is, a supertask T = (a1, a2, a3, ¦, an, ¦).

A conspicuous instance of a supertask which is kinematically impossible is the one performed by Black's infinity machine, whose task it is to transport a ball from position A (x = 0) to position B (x = 1) and from B to A an infinite number of times in one hour.

And it does not, unlike some supertask examples, require an infinity of particles.

But is it really possible to complete any infinite series of actions: to complete was is known as a ˜supertask™?

In such a case the relevant state of the world after the bifurcated supertask has been performed is M's state, and this, in principle, can be specified, since O has causal access to it.
