Is time travel possible? I don’t know but am about to try an experiment which is very low tech but should allow for anyone reading this blog in the future to show whether time travel really possible or not. The experiment will essentially go like this
Approximately every 3 months (give or take) I will publish [...]
So yesterday I get invited to participate on a talk show called “The 2nd Question” as one of the panelists (that is me as Phelan Corrimal 2nd from the right). And the show starts off with their standard question — if you where an element what element would you be. Now – if you watched the video [...]
It is interesting that in the quest for new ways to generate power that we consistently focus on old ways of essentially passing a magnet by a coil of copper wire which has been the most consistent method of generating an electric current. There are other ways certainly and I’m sure sooner of later someone is [...]
What happens when the speed of light is relative? Currently the speed of light in a vacuum is set at about 3 x 108m/s. But the question I have is whether a vacuum really has anything to do with the absolute speed of light. See here is my problem. We know that light slows downin [...]
Quantum entanglementis another aspect to quantum computing which I think is probably the more relevant of the two quantum mechanisms to have an impact if / when we ever get to working quantum computer systems. Essentially entanglement is a process by which two quantum particles are linked regardless of distance so that if you know the [...]
The idea of quantum computing gets into some very strange behavioursthat supposedly will just simply blow away the processing power of today’s computers. Specifically, today’s computers are eventually going to run into a problem whereby the upper limit of computational power will be dictated by the speed of light. Because a quantum computer can express [...]
