By the way, the original quote was taken from Eyo's most recent paper at http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/0706.2702

"the programme for the consistent canonical part of the quantization of four-dimensional Einstein’s general realtivity is essentially complete." Eyo Eyo Ita III I guess we must be close. :smile:

Posting a rash comment in a field that you are not familiar with is not a good idea. At least look up the definition of 'Minkowski spacetime' in Wikipedia first.

To compute y(x, n) you just need to figure out the "stopping" condition, and the simplifying expression. The stopping condition is fairly easy, that y(x, 1) is just equal to x. Now for the simplifying expression you can figure that out by yourself. int factorial(int n) { if (n == 1)...

not clear I don't understand your problem specification. The number one rule of computer science is that the problem specification must be spelled out clearly and non-ambiguous. You will find out this true for small assignments, and real projects.

recursion power(x, 1) is x, which is your "stopping" condition, and it needs to be checked first. If n is an even number, power(x, n) is equal to power(x, n/2) squared. Otherwise power(x, n) is equal to x times power(x, n - 1). A recursive function has two sections. The first section...

You have to definitively look up the operator's precedence orders. Usually this piece of information can be found in the chapter that describe integer operators. Certain operators have identical precedence orders. I would assign an integer precedence level value to each operator.

Go look up the man pages for pipe(), dup2(), close(), fork(), and exec().

My guess is the efforts on Quantom Gravity will have to be guided by observations, either experiemental or astronomical observations. Everytime some new observations come out, I can see the theories evolve very quickly to catch up. After certain point, I would expect the theories to be able to...

my nomination I think Torsten and Helge's "Calculation of the Cosmological Constant by Unifying Matter and Dark Energy" will be influential. It showed that General Relativity still has a few tricks up its sleeves. The Standard Model does not say much about dark matter, and nothing about...
