  1. Re:Where is the center? on How Galaxies Are Disappearing From Our Universe · · Score: 1

    *Head Explodes*
    Also thanks for the answer.

    You wouldn't notice any space anisotropies if in relation to the black hole, the universe were positioned in a 'smooth' area which you could get if either the universe in sufficiently far away or the black hole is orders of magnitude larger than the universe. This scenario only makes directinality more subtle, to confirm I suppose you would look for the rate of expansion in different areas of the sky and see if there's a gradient, can that be done with sufficient precision?

    What if the universe is actually falling in a black hole? Can that explain the accelerating expansion of space (and dark energy with it)? It would be consistent with what I read about falling in black holes: stuff gets streched in all dimensiona.

  3. patented closed source genetic kernel? on PubPat Kills Four Key Monsanto Patents · · Score: 1

    If we would have wide spread compilers, debuggers and IDEs for genetic code this would be just another software patent discussion, and Monsanto just another patent troll.

    imagine building our own free open source genetic operating system... and then the posibilities....

    this is not "news for nerds. stuff that matters."

  6. Vista *safety comes from it's failure as a product on 6 Months On, Vista Security Still Besting Linux · · Score: 1

    Vista is *safe for now because of it's poor adoption by users, since it is not wide spread it is pointless to develop botnet software to infect it.

  7. Re:Quantum Not? on First Quantum Computing Gate on a Chip · · Score: 2, Informative

    here's a simple representation of a C-Not on two qbits:
      ______
    -| NOT|-
    -|____|-

    the gate has two inputs and two outputs
    in direct computation the the inputs are on the left, the outputs on the right
    in reverse computation the other way around

    let's take direct computation,
    say the inputs(left side) are in_x(top) and in_y(bottom) and the outputs(right) out_x(top) and out_y(bottom)

    the C-Not performs the following function:
    out_x := in_x;
    out_y := ((not)in_y and in_x) or (in_y and (not)out_x)

    BUT it performs this functions simultaneously on a superposition of inputs,
    a superposition of inputs for a qbit roughly translates to: something like if I measure the qbit I may get 0 with p probability and 1 with (1-p) probability

    algebraically you would express this using in_y = sqrt(p) |0> + sqrt(1-p) |1>

    so literally the gate works like this: in the cases when in_x is 1, out_y will be 1 with a probability of p and 0 with a probability of (1-p) - exactly the inverse probabilities of in_y

    this is all roughly speaking, there are other more subtle aspects...
