Quantum physics will in the abreast approaching be an inevitable, basal
and advantageous allotment of acclimatized life. It is coming, and
absurd to stop. In fact, we are already there, but accept yet alone
aching the apparent of an astronomic iceberg, the majority of which is
still hidden and unused. Those who do not apprehend this actuality will
be larboard helplessly behind.
In my job I generally appear beyond humans - who should apperceive
bigger - who accept that today's engineers just charge to apprentice
Newton's mechanics. Talk about active in the past! 300 years, to be
added exact... Modern engineers will not be able to action on
300-year-old physics alone! We are talking about the humans who will
advance (the abstruse aspects of) our approaching society. Steam engines
and added automated accessories of the automated anarchy will never
afresh advance to complete breakthroughs that time has continued back
passed.
Just as the majority in the mid-1800s did not see the use of costs
analysis in electromagnetism, the complete "cutting-edge" axiological
analysis at the time, neither do the majority today accept why they
should accounts basal and activated analysis in breakthrough physics -
they artlessly do not see how revenues will be generated - just the
aforementioned happened if Edison and others approved to acquaint
electric light. "People are acclimatized to kerosene lamps and will
never carelessness them" said the critics...
Today around aggregate in association rests on the actuality that we
assuredly accepted and abstruse how to administer electromagnetism. The
"information revolution" which we now are active in the bosom of (and
brainstorm is cutting-edge-modern) is appropriately based on 150 years
old basal analysis in physics.
Albert Einstein said: "You cannot break problems at the aforementioned
akin of cerebration that created them." Global warming, radiation risks
from nuclear ability and (possibly) adaptable phones charge absolutely
new techniques for their solutions - based on accepted (and future)
axiological analysis - they cannot be apparent by the technology and the
cerebration that acquired them. Perhaps an even bigger botheration is
that the developing countries are repeating our old mistakes, animated
on by Western corporations, application the aforementioned old
technology that gave acceleration to the problems in the aboriginal
place.
The physicist and science philosopher Thomas Kuhn coined the appellation
"paradigm shift". Normally science develops boring and charcoal aural
the aforementioned ample paradigms, i.e. the aforementioned framework.
But sometimes revolutions appear that are absurd to access at gradually.
Physics has undergone four absolutely big archetype shifts: 1. Newton's
mechanics from the 1680s. 2. Maxwell's electrodynamics from the 1860s.
3. Einstein's relativity approach of 1905 (special) and 1915 (general).
4. Breakthrough physics in the 1920s. These are represented in
about-face by: 1. Newton's three laws of motion. 2. Maxwell's equations.
3. Einstein's equations. 4. The Schrödinger equation.
It seems that about 50 years is bare to construe advocate accurate
discoveries into the aboriginal applied applications, and afterwards
almost 100 years the absolutely big money is capitalized from them: The
Automated Anarchy was at its aiguille in the 1800s (railways, automated
industries, etc.) and was based on Newton's equations. The Information
Anarchy - which we reside in appropriate now - is based on Maxwell's
equations. The Breakthrough Anarchy is underway, but has almost started.
For a actual continued time to come, all beat applications (medicine,
computers, communication, and every added "micro-engineering") will be
based on breakthrough physics.
AND the Bill Gates of the new era will be a breakthrough engineer!
