Wormholes Unstable (BBC)

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-it's-not-like-i-planned-to-build-a-condo-there-anyway dept.

An anonymous reader writes that "The BBC reports on recent theoretical physics research showing that wormholes may not be very useful for space or time travel. Wormholes with smooth or classical spacetimes appear to be unstable and fall apart quickly. Too bad for budding time travelers and space explorers!"

    have you tried running 'jstest' and 'jscal'?
    'jstest' for testing that it operates correctly
    and 'jscal' for changing the default calibration
    values if needed.

    I seriously doubt it. Right now, Intel is not really leading he pack in processor terms. All you hear about these days is IBM (both PS3 and XBox360 are IBM powered) and AMD on the 64bit front. With OSX being the most widely spread 64bit consumer OS, I can hardly believe Apple switching to the least-represented CPU manufacturer.

    If anything, they could perhaps use some non-x86 intel stuff for portables devices where the PPC sucks up too much power. Remember that Intel is more than only x86
