Recently in the news NASA has transmitted an image of the Mona Lisa via a laser beam and i was wondering about some of the theory behind how they did it and maybe trying to recreate something similar on a (much) smaller scale. I've seen some articles online that show a method for transmitting...

I am currently stuck between the two choices. I have to pick my majors soon, as I am going to third year. I originally wanted to go into theoretical physics, but now I am leaning more towards theoretical Computer Science. I have always loved Physics, but I am just more at home in Computer...

Hi, firstly sorry for my bad English I want to ask a question to you about studying Math or CS in the university. I'm 16 and I've been dealing with CS (programming,algorithms,artificial intelligence etc.) since I was 5. I love programming and mathematics so much, but I'm undecided what I will...

This a general, layman question. Computer processors work with binary digits, 1 and 0. Of course, computer processors can be seen as microscopic forms of Babbage's analytic engine. So in reality, in the circuits of a microprocessor, what physical form do binary digits take?

Sorry for yet another topic on the subject, but my question is very objective. I don't know which one I choose. I'm a programmer with 10 years of experience so I like it and want a degree about it, not hardware. Artificial intelligence, data mining, algorithms and so on. So you'd say CS. The...

Hi all! BLUF: I'm starting school rather late (I'm 25) and I'm very interested in Physics and Computer Science. Logically, CS seems like a better fit for me due to my hobbies, but my heart is set on Physics. BACKGROUND: I'm just now starting school at 25 after being in the Air Force for...

Im looking to do a masters program. I am sort of torn between computer science and software engineering. I am interested in software engineering but I am wondering if computer science would be more reputable and give me more job options. I am looking to get a job in either the space or defense...

For servers, programmers are using instancing to lower processing needs. When i think about it, it seems like the universe is exactly built like that.. Especially when we measure things this becomes so obvious. On sub-atomic level we can see instanced results directly, without question...

I would like to collect EMF data into computer, does anyone have any suggestions on where to find any Gaussmeter link with computer for data sharing? Thanks in advance for any suggestions

So it seems like the most popular career choice for physics major is software development, perhaps because of its gigantic industry, but I hate computer programming.

So last year I took a course in quantum computing, but I didn't understand how can you build quantum computer? I mean do you have literature on the technical issues of physically engineering such an apparatus? The course I took was really theoretical, but I don't understand yet of how to...

A little while ago I asked: why does wind feel cold. The molecules are moving faster so it should feel hot. The answer I got was that it increases the evaporation rate of water from your skin. Less water makes you feel cool, I think. Maybe there were some other reasons which I've forgotten...

... and for a long time, I took this for granted, but now I'm starting to wonder how it is doing this. From my knowledge, the only way one could calculate pi is to measure the diameter and radius of a circle, and find the ratio, but to calculate an irrational decimal as thoroughly as we have...

Homework Statement I'm currently learning the little man computer and Currently I'm working on two programs. On one of them, I have the code to find the minimum value in an array, however I have to modify that code in order to find the maximum value. What would I have to change? And for the...
