is expanding. In Chapter 4‚ Hawking explains the dismissal of the idea that future events can be predicted because of the belief that the universe was completely deterministic. As I read chapters 3 and 4‚ I was gripped by the idea of a big bang singularity‚ and immensely perplexed by the reasoning behind the uncertainty principle and quantum mechanics. Hawking begins the chapter with the epiphany that the “fixed stars” in the sky‚ aren’t really fixed at all. The stars are all constantly

groups. Given a compact subinterval of the real line‚ the order preserving piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the interval form a group under composition. In this thesis we study subgroups of such groups obtained by restricting the slopes and singularities occurring in the homeomorphisms. We also consider analogous groups of homeomorphisms and bijections of the circle. This class of groups contains examples which have furnished the first examples of finitely presented infinite simple groups. We

1. The Future is Now? Pretty Soon‚ at Least After reading Chapters 1-3‚ review the videos Ray Kurzweil on How Technology Will Transform Us and Ray Kurzweil: A University for the Coming Singularity. (Interactive transcripts are also available on the TED web site.) Based on what you have learned‚ which of Kurzweil’s predictions do you agree with‚ and which do you doubt? Why? Please be specific. I agree with Kurzweil’s predictions about the communications revolution. Kurzweil states that‚ “The

our universe. The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment. According to the standard theory‚ our universe sprang into existence as "singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago. What is a "singularity" and where does it come from? Well‚ to be honest‚ we don’t know for sure. Singularities are zones which defy our current understanding of physics. They are thought to exist at the core of "black holes." Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. The

Definition of ’Moore’s Law’ An observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965. He noticed that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since their invention. Moore’s law predicts that this trend[->0] will continue into the foreseeable future. Although the pace has slowed‚ the number of transistors per square inch has since doubled approximately every 18 months. This is used as the current definition of Moore’s law. History The term

The event horizon is the boundary around the front of the black hole where light loses its ability to escape. Once something passes the event horizon‚ it’s trapped and can’t leave because of the strong gravitational pull. The inner region of a black hole is where its mass is‚ also known as its singularity which is

In many ways‚ Trinitarian iconology dictates how Christians interpret the figures of God‚ Christ and the Holy Ghost and their relationship to one another. More specifically‚ depictions of the holy trinity often emphasize either the plurality or singularity of the three trinitarian figures. A popular artistic example of the holy trinity can be found in medieval Russian artist Andrei Rublyov’s panel painting Old Testament Trinity created circa 1420. It is composed of tempera on wood and is 142 x 114
