Will we ever have a google computer ? A computer which can process 10^100
instructions per second and have 10^100 bytes of random access memory ?
We take a look.
The General Motors situation makes an important case study in the debate
over whether government should interfere in private enterprise. GM has been
around for a hundred years and is one of America's few great manufacturing
enterprises and employees a huge number of people but it needs to fail.
The American government deficit is now just over $ 11.2 trillion dollars.
This debt is increasing at an astounding pace and shows no signs of
slowing. This is bad news for America.
This article will introduce the lay person to the basics of quantum computing.
The most basic and simplest concepts will be explained in this article.
The idea of a qubit and the idea of a quantum computer register will be
explained.
The world is wealthier now than it has ever been but hundreds of millions of
people still live in dire poverty and countless other die of starvation
and preventable disease. What must we do to solve this problem.
The hydrogen atom wave functions have to be one of the most wonderful and
sophisticated discoveries of the human mind. Even if you don't understand
the advanced math of the Schrodinger Equation you can't help but marvel
at the beauty of these graphics.
Physicists have long tried to find magnetic monopoles and failed. Now however it
looks like they might actually have found what they are looking for. Researchers
are studying a strange material called spin ice which may hold the key to
understanding the elusive magnetic monopole.
Our appetite for electricity is nearly insatiable and the only technology
that can provide it without dangerous emissions
is nuclear power. Good luck powering the worlds major
cities with a couple of windmills. We take a look at the
new generation of Pebble Bed Reactors which
offer the only possible solution to the global
warming conundrum.
Microsoft has dominated the world of personal computing for the last 20 years but
is the wonder company about to come unstuck. Open source, open web standards and
now cloud computing might just be the straw which will break the software giants back.
Buddhism and Christianity are considered to be two very different and separate religions
but is this really the case ? Maybe they are just different paths to God.
Gregory Chaitin discovered a number called Omega which is completely uncomputable. The importance
of his work is hard to overstate because it deals with what we are ultimately able to compute.
The American government needs to kill off all the Zombie banks. America used to be a capitalist country
but now it doesn't matter how much of a moron you are because the taxpayer will bail you out. There is
no such thing as too big to fail. Obama needs to pull the plug on these stupid bankers.
Even the search giant Google is cutting jobs but why ? They certainly have
enough cash to weather the storm, so why are they choosing to sack workers
instead ? We take a look.
Our place on Earth is tenuous and not guaranteed. From the threat
of asteroids striking the earth, nanobots run amok and nuclear war there
are a lot of boogeymen out there. They call it an existential threat because
it could end our existence on Earth.
As we all know the world economy is in trouble but what started us out
on this highway to hell ? Is the retail behemoth Wal-Mart in some way responsible
for screwing up the American economy ?
