This might be a very trivial question, but in condensed matter or many body physics, often one is dealing with some Hamiltonian and main goal is find, or describe the physics of, the ground state of this Hamiltonian. Why is everybody so interested in the ground state?

It is known that there does not exists an oracle $H$ which given any pair $(M,I)$ where $M$ is a machine and $I$ is an input (possibly still a machine) to have $H(M(I)) = YES$ if $M(I)$ halts and $H(M(I)) = NO$ if $M(I)$ does not halt. This was proven by Turing. However, this can be shortly writt...
