Just how flexible are they? For example, I have excellent grades in a diploma form a post-secondary tertiery institution (a polytechnic) in electronic engineering.

Hello, I was wondering, especially for those that got into top tier universities, what universities are looking for in prospective undergraduates who want to study physics. Is it good grades for math and physics in particular? Or good grades all around? Or perhaps grades are only a small...

I agree, I think both memorisation and comprehension come hand in hand. Simple rules are learned and stored in the brain, and then applied to create new rules, eg. addition leads eventually to multiplication. But that's my opinion, because usually, people with basic grounding in any subject can...

Science slowing down? Doubtful. Perhaps it's just that in our everyday life, we are continually fed changes in lifestyle and technology that don't really catch our attention. For example, I live in Singapore, and about 5 years ago, colour screen mobile phones were virtually non-existent. Today...

I guess you could go further to a more fundamental and personal level by questioning, "If I haven't perceived what is said to be real, is it?" In the end, I think it all boils down to individual perspective or perceptions. To me, I take reality to be a perspective, and hence I take truth to be...

I think this has been said, but I think that all a computer has to be able to do is learn and adapt. Afterall, that's how WE learn. For example, a baby when young cannot tell a lie from the truth, but through time, and interaction, it will, eventually. I guess that should be all. We do not...

I think you might be referring to Einstein's Photoelectric effect. I don't really remember much about it, but check it out anyways.

The timelines could always just split you know, leaving us with 2 separate chain of events after the change has occurred.

Well...urm...I'm not very sure about this but, what the heck... The expansion of the Universe leads to the separation of galaxies. Like 2 dots on a sheet of rubber when you spread it out. What I can assume from this is that if hte Universe is expanding at 40 million times the speed of light...

Well...consciousness as being described by quantum probabilities can't be ruled out, since we really have no idea what our minds are really made up of. Well...in essence, if I get what netcrazy is really trying to say, he is correct. Who knows? Our DNA might be the source code of all life...

I believe that quantum computing, plus the actual manipulation of light and the miniturisation of computers(actually the 2 I just mentioned leads to this) will be the next step. About diamonds, I'm not to sure about. But, if I'm not wrong, physicists recently were able to stop light in it's...
