'We can now duplicate 6 CPU-days of 2 GHz Linux computation by 20 seconds in a calculator'
Sounds like someone is cheating!!!No but seriously Al, if you can explain what the hell you are talking about, in language a damn fool like me can understand, then we may have an understanding.
I mean OK I get the Equivalence Principle that's basic and I can get to grips with General Relativity...
BUT...
'The existence of a symmetry operator implies the existence of a conserved observable. Given G is the Hermitian generator of nontrivial unitary operator U (e.g., parity), then if U commutes with Hamiltonian H so does G: [H,G]=0. If U commutes with H it is a symmetry and a conserved quantity. Any system that is initially in an eigenstate of U evolves over time to other eigenstates having the same eigenvalue.'
... just sounds like bullshit to me.
So, go on, break the habit of a lifetime and explain yourself in terms which someone other than yourself can actually understand. It's called communication.
