Does that put you to sleep satisfactorily?

Very helpful BG. I wish all posts, here, were as interesting and useful ... Were you involved in any of the research?

BTW, BG, I have a beautiful official, full-colour picture (27cm X 34cm) of the launch of the Shuttle from Cape Kennedy, which my wife and I saw, live. We were invited by a friend who worked on the project. That was in March 1982.

==============================

What do you know about Seth Lloyd of MIT? I have his book on the PROGRAMMING THE UNIVERSE (2006)--The Quantum Computer Takes on the Universe.

The story of SL:

=====================
I wish I understood half of what I read. In the final pages, Chapter 8, Complexity Simplified--I wish that was so (p.207)--Lloyd implies that science is a very ify art.

AND HOW IS THIS AS A CLOSING SENTENCE (p.211)?
"The collision of two atoms can--and does--change the furture of the universe."
