I propose that the idea of "political leaders" is obsolete. Every issue can now be voted on in a true democratic way. This bypasses PAC, corruption, the pay issue and subsequent lifetime benefits issue, the enormous cost of protection, etc. etc. etc. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Scott Adams proposed that we add a 4th branch, I propose that we subtract 3 and add 1.
I totally agree with this post. How could there be an end of the universe? Mustn't something always lie beyond the edge? How could there be a start to it? I think what the theories are explaining only what we can now observe. Maybe there was a big bang, but this big bang did not mark the beginning of universe only the beginning of what we can observe so far. Our theories are all based on mathematics. Mathematics is something that was created by man to quantify things. I don't think the universe is quantifiable. And due to the last two statements, we will never be able to agree a mathematical formula with the universe. It just is, was and will be. When we try to apply math, it will always break down at some point. Math will be a tool that will enable us to predict (with some uncertainty at all times) events that will happen, but will never give us a complete understanding of the universe. The universe is beyond math because math was made up by us. Who would foolishly try to explain everything by math? Do we try to explain life with math too? All of the conflicting theories are silly to me. I think we've lost what Einstein and others were doing by trying to quantify the universe. Einstein's theory was never meant to explain the entire universe, only a portion (large or small?) of the events that happen within the universe. Additionally, it is still a theory, and has never been proven by the scientific method to remove all doubt. Why don't we apply these great minds of cosmology to problems that can be solved here on earth? World hunger, energy, etc.....

"I think it's really interesting," said Bradley Bernstein, a biologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. and a link to the hospital web site,
I think this article was for publicity purposes and nothing else. It really says nothing new, nothing that matters and nothing for nerds.
Who let this one through the editorial process?
Computers using the magnetic chips would boot up almost instantly. The magnetic chip's memory is nonvolatile, making it impervious to power interruptions, and it retains its data when the device is switched off.
This is probably not a desirable trait for anything running a microsoft product. How often is a system re-boot required with MS?

That's why there should be a quiz or test to vote on any issue. If you don't pass, you don't vote.
Why can't we bring the heat up, like a giant heat sink, instead of pump water down?
