>Any physical model gained by fitting data which purports to be faster than those based on a computable approximation of the laws of physics is so constrained.

Constrain the model so that there aren't any superfluids, semiconductors, plasmas, metals or Bose-Einstein condensates and you can still simulate any medicine I know of.

Assume you can then simulate the folding of full-sized proteins, too?

[densefunction]

Given enough time and a well-considered methodology, yes. I know two groups that work directly upon this and have great results.

Lithium?

[hobs]

Yeah, take metals out of the equation and it probably a lot more likely.

You are still going to need things like: Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, etc.

[whatshisface]

I meant metals in the solid-state physics sense, with the oceans of electrons and band gaps and stuff. You can keep your monatomic ions (which are crucial for biology in many ways).
