They could very well lose it. Rumors surrounding the PlayStation 3's processor make it sound like the Ark of the Covenant wrought in silicon, and it may be much further along than Gates gives it credit for. "We look at delivering a quantum leap in technology, not just Xbox version 1.5," a Sony spokeswoman said recently. ("Kutaragi's good at rhetoric," Gates says of Sony PlayStation czar Ken Kutaragi.) For all the Xbox's underdog pluck, the PlayStation 2 still has an overwhelming hold on the $25 billion global video-game market: 68% at last count, to Microsoft...
Moreover, the concept of time travel is not entirely unattainable, according to some experts in the world of quantum physics...
Ernebjerg, the other TF recipient, who is a preceptor for quantum mechanics, was in China and unable to personally accept the award...
Oppenheimer next embarked for his father’s native land of Germany, studying the still-developing field of quantum mechanics alongside future physics giants like Paul Dirac, Max Born, and Werner Heisenberg. But he never acquired the Europeans’ suave ways with womenfolk. Upon returning stateside to teach at Berkeley, Robert earned a small dose of worldwide notoriety for his romantic foibles. He drove a date to a scenic point up on a hill, and after she fell asleep, he whispered that he would walk back home and she should follow in the car. She did not hear...
Oppenheimer was just 38 when he was chosen to direct what was called the Manhattan Project. Brilliant and detached, kindly and arrogant, cocksure and tormented, he had long been recognized as a star of the new quantum physics, a man with an acute and elegant mind. During his years as a physics professor at Berkeley and Caltech, he had also signed just about every petition for farmworkers' rights and attended every fund raiser for the Spanish Republic. Oppenheimer always denied that he had ever been a member of the Communist Party. But he never sought to conceal that...
