At the atomic level, eh? I wonder just how close to the, ahem, "metal" this simulation goes?

I wasn't really surprised to read that they can only simulate about 770 picoseconds in day, in 1 femosecond steps. Still boggles the mind, when you consider that relatively common protein folding and chemical binding simulations include a lot of mathematical hand waving "yeah, it kinda does this, probably, under maybe these conditions."

They told me there would be no math

Me Chinese, me play joke

I'll get concerned when my morning coffee and news perusing on teh interwebs is interrupted by an instructor on the telescreen leading everyone through their morning exercises in Mandarin.

/will be obscure to some

Did you sleep at a Panda Express last night?!?!?

No, but I am going to make Chow Mein Stir Fry tonight at home. With Hoisen-Garlic sauce and tiny diced extra-firm tofu. And brown rice. Mmmm.

Yes, my post has nothing to do with TFA. Why do you ask? ;)

so we are simulating stuff at the atomic level.

Remind me again why we all think we are actually here?

So... Why do you guys read the Geek tab, anyway? Too smart/dumb for the politics tab? Too cool for the Main Page? Not enough cat/dog/ow-my-balls links on the Video tab?

Just curious.

I like hearing about new products and technologies. New science and video game things. What are you referring to? Saw an fun joke and went for it?
