Like anything else done in China recently, the envisioned South-to-North Water Diversion Project will take place on a gargantuan scale.

Over the past few decades, one of the greatest threats on civilization and our future on the planet has been, according to a number of scientists, overpopulation. It made sense, say, 30 to 40 years ago, to look at the population-growth rate and say that it was soon about to exceed sustainable limits. However, that tu... |

It would appear that petascale supercomputers, able to perform one quadrillion (one million billion) operations per second or more, are no longer in fashion for studying black holes, the collision of galaxies, or the decay of protons in the magnetosphere, but rather for understanding things that were thought to be ou... |
