To better understand quantum computing, consider that two counterintuitive ideas can both be true. The first is that objects that can be measured—qubits in superposition with defined probability amplitudes—behave randomly. The second is that objects too distant to influence each other—entangled qubit...
Cerner Corporation'sCERNsecond-quarter 2018 results are scheduled to release on Aug 2, after market close. The company is likely to see a soft quarter owing to decline in the core Support, Maintenance and Services segment. However, growth in the company's EHR (Electronic Health Record) platfor...
Take the widely-used RSA encryption: the public key is a 2048-bit integer, a huge number. The private key is the prime factor of that number. It's trivial for even a pocket calculator to check the private key against the public key: multiply the factors together. But every star that h...
Here, the Large Hadron Collider is shown on April 22, 2022, the day the atom smasher restarted again for Run 3 after a three-year nap. (Image credit: CERN) Jump to: Building the LHC Could it destroy the world? LHC discoveries What is the LHC doing now? Additional resources ...
If you're interested in the most recent news or developments about the LHC, I recommend checking CERN's official website or scientific news outlets for the latest information.
1. There is more stuff (matter) that we don't see with our telescopes. We call this dark matter. 2. Newton's laws and even GR are wrong on the scale of galaxies and everything bigger. This idea is usually called modified gravity (because we need to modify GR) or Modified Newtonian...
Like standing in front of a CERN stream. Reply Atlan0001 What is explained is closed systematic! Open systemic, you at '0'kps never approach the speed of light 'c' ((+)300,000kps |0| (-)300,000kps) closer than (+/-)300,000kps. It is a "go with" constant. Also, accordin...
Cloud storage is amazing, it's on demand, click click ready to go, but is it the most cost effective approach for large, predictable data sets? In our white paper learn how to understand the true costs of storing data in a public cloud, and how open source Ceph can provide a cost ...
Examines the science and arguments of global warming skepticism. Common objections like 'global warming is caused by the sun', 'temperature has changed naturally in the past' or 'other planets are warming too' are examined to see what the science really
A VPN is an excellent online security tool which can protect your data whenever you go online, be that when you are on the other side of the world, or just at your local coffee shop. In this section of our guide I want to talk in a bit more detail about exactly what a VPN is, ...
