Wouldn't it be neat if you could build a computer good enough (ignore this current day impossiblity) to hold and calculate everything you need to be able to tell the future? Obviously (um... right?), there's also more physics we need to figure out before we could actually be able to do somthing like that (again, ignoring that the computer couldn't be made).
Well, I think that ideas pretty neato. But the other day a friend of mine mentioned something called the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal. Somthing about not being able to tell the exact location and momentum of an election at any given moment or somthing like that. And I guess that pretty much screws that theory up if you wanted to be really uber-precise with it.
Anyways, I was wondering about that and If it does in fact screw somthing like that up and if there are any theories on how to um... get around it or somthing?
I'm just a senior in hichschool (AP Physics... ) so I'm sort of hoping for general concepts sort of explination.
Can anyone do that? Or maybe just point me in the direction of an 'advanced physics for dummies' website/book or somthing? Or just a good place to start? :tongue:
