For computing to occur, one need to design Logic Gates, eg AND, OR, XOR,... etc, from these optical components. Some digitization may be needed. What's your thought about that? Another difficulty is, I doubt light color can be easily used as a signal carrier, since different color of light has...

Those are good links, thank you. Maybe I should learn more thoroughly on how to use visio.

Maybe it is not that specific to social studies when one is talking about document computing tools (which I refer to content-related tools here, e.g. Charting, Visualising, Flowcharting, and Infographing tools, etc), but I really am curious about what specific tools are social studies...

Absurdist, having the laws and theories carved in stone doesn't mean you cannot discover new physical phenomena from these laws. if you ever try some simulations, for example for some nonlinear problems, you can easily get very rich phenomena under different dimensionless parameters regimes...

May I ask what sort of mysteries of cosmos in particular you are looking forward to be explained? Perhaps some specific examples can ring something up from my head

It is using much mathematics and on the other ends related to physics and engineering fields. It also requires knowledge of computer sciences, so sort of something a mixture of those. It has its own theories about what is a correct computation. From this viewpoint, it is a science of course...

To me, I think computational physics is to try to compute the solution of a problem using a computer, which means, most of the time and to be more specific, solving a set of equations which is very very tedious to solve by hand or by theoretical tools. Once you get a solution, then it should...

ah, i like the idea and how this quote sounds. :D BTW, is it possible to get someone to be curious on something which is boring? ... it would be very good if i have a theory to control the amount of curiosity in my mind and the "direction" of this curiosity :D

it is interesting and i also want to know its meaning. My dictionary says energy is "the capacity for a physical system to do work", "its units are joule or erg" and "energy can take a wide variety of forms" (from wordnet dict). hmmm.. seems to direct to a thought of what forms can energy takes?

Are there any biological/evolutionary reasons for human to need the feeling of being bored? What would happen if one cannot get bored? Would a cat/dog/ant/fly also get bored? Are there medicine that changes bore feeling? Just some wild questions since i am getting bored :D Dictionary says...

If Fukushima incident is not very threatening, would it be safe to live in tokyo (several hundreds km away)? I wonder if there will be some long term effects just like the nuclear remains in chernobyl...

A little diversion here. Is it true that the reason causing cancer is not well known? If we know the causes of cancer then in someday, we should be able to deliberately remove all these factors and stop cancer from happening.

For exactly that reason I have disabled the plugin-container in about:config of my firefox. sorry for going off topic but i just cannot resist it. The plugin-container is really kind of slow for video.

It seems there is some confusion about the definition of a measurement. If it is clear that only after a measurement the wave function collapses, then only the observer of that measurement can see a particle behavior. It sounds like two observers looking at the same screen and having different...

It would be good to call them and ask for the situation. You may see a thing or two from their answers, even when the answers are not straight forward.
