Transcomputational problem

Transcomputational problems are problems that are so complicated, they require superhuman intelligence to solve them. They are difficult to solve because they are not easily broken down into smaller chunks or steps and require a lot of different pieces of knowledge and understanding to figure out the answer. In order to solve these types of problems, scientists and researchers have to use advanced computer algorithms, or programs, to find a solution.
