My apologies . . . (Was article from Scientific American)

[RainOfSteel]

I posted a link to a Scientific American article after locating it via Google (I myself had read the article in a dead tree version of the magazine and found it interesting).

I Googled up the link, and as soon as I found it, posted the link here.

Then I took a moment, and scrolled down, only to find out that you had to be a subscriber to read the rest of the article.

I deleted that post, and state my apologies.

Ah, yes, pity. I almost did the same thing a year or so ago. Wish I'd thought then what just hit me now.

Why not post the link and the issue number or date. Some might have access to the first and others could maybe find the print version at the local library. Just an idea.

Black Hole Computers

First Sentence From Article (Probably covered by Fair Use):

"What is the difference between a computer and a black hole? This question sounds like the start of a Microsoft joke, but it is one of the most profound problems in physics today."

whih is an excellent article and one that i found very useful in getting a better understanding of the possible application of quantum physics in the real universe. In particular the application of string or brane theory to explain the radiation generated by a blackhole was cool

I also think theat the discussion on photonic computing in this issue is a good baseline for a travellar universe computer array

And when I learn to type it will be even better.
