How Quantum Physics Starts With Your Toaster
Posted by Karen Hurst in category: quantum physics
Hmmm; nice attempt. However, not the author’s example was the best one to explain Quantum.
The common perception is that quantum mechanics only really matter for exotic physics experiments, but every time you wait impatiently for your breakfast to cook, you’re staring at the place where it all began.

Quantum computing closer as researchers drive towards first quantum data bus
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, nanotechnology, quantum physics
Australia’s Quantum Data Bus; nice. We’re getting closer and within the next 7 years we will more than likely have quantum in mainstream computing at this rate.
RMIT University researchers have trialled a quantum processor capable of routing quantum information from different locations in a critical breakthrough for quantum computing.
The work opens a pathway towards the “quantum data bus”, a vital component of future quantum technologies.

Will Quantum Encryption Arrive Before Quantum Computers Break All Our Passwords?
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, encryption, engineering, quantum physics
Australia is making great strides in this area as well.
Scientists are racing to deploy foolproof quantum encryption before quantum computers come along that render all our passwords useless.
Passwords work today because the computers we have, while theoretically capable of breaking passwords, would take an impractical amount of time to do so.

Science as Our Only Hope For Centrifugal Advancement — The Survival of our Species
Posted by Michael Paton in categories: energy, lifeboat, science, space, transportation
Been a while since I’ve written a new article. Include my love for the Lifeboat Foundation in it!
Are we alone in the universe? Are we the first to witness the stellar bursts amongst the skies of old? Is it foretold that we were the ones destined for the stars, beginning at the Moon and then Mars? Once driving cars, do we venture far, beyond the horizon of antiquated liveliness, a surreal vibrancy-but-a-tranquillity to the origins of chaos? Without science, these imaginary realities are but dreams shuttered away in the subconscious mind. But, with this magical and logical element of human society, we are gifted with the power to envision the sleeping mind’s abstract impossibilities, transforming them into possible realities… So that we may morph the series of footsteps in waking life.
Like evolution is the guardian of change, time dictates discovery. We advance, and the nuances past become more prevalent; a new precedent set forth in every dedicated shard of time engulfed in the sublime, and rhythmic confines, of the mind. Interlinked by their commonality, the totality of the world’s abilities lays not in the futility of complacency, but in the eulogy of peaceful unity. Once we as species see the far reaches of harnessing all pieces of this puzzle [that is the international intellect], each passing day will become more perfect.
In the new, free-for-all era of dark matter research, the controversial idea that dark matter is concentrated in thin disks is being rescued from scientific oblivion.
