From kurzweilai.net: The scientific revolution has stalled, here's how to kickstart it
ISSCC Microelectronics pioneer, Caltech professor emeritus, and all-around smart guy Carver Mead
believes that the scientific revolution that began with the discovery
of special relativity and quantum mechanics has stalled, and that it’s
up to us to kickstart it, The Register reports.
“A bunch of big egos got in the way,” he told his audience of
3,000-plus chipheads at the International Soild-State Circuits
Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco on Monday
Much more work needs to be done to restart that revolution, Mead
said, with the goal of explaining in an intuitive way how all matter in
the universe relates to and affects all other matter, and how to explore
those interrelationships in a way that isn’t “buried in enormous piles
of obscure mathematics.”
