in popularity right now.
With just 300 qubits at its disposal, a quantum computer could run more calculations

There are only a few rules but there are a lot of potential moves that can be played at any one time — the figure is considerably higher
than the number of
atoms in the universe.
Atoms and sub-atomic particles are much smaller
than humans, so why would God be interested
in, or care about them.
If humans were not designed by a higher authority, how can each individual's DNA be uniquely different among the human species, especially different
than the other animals; how can the life sustaining elements be constantly available and exist
in exact formulations: O, H, C etc. water is always 2
atoms of Hydrogen and one
atom of Oxygen; sugar, fats, grains, and any bio-chemical products can be broken down to their simplest forms of elements, but can be re-constructed with specific (not by chance) formula.
makes more sense
than «there was just one microscopic
atom in all of «non-creation» and for an unknown reason, this one
atom exploded and from this
atom, all other
atoms came to be.
In advancing these theories they disregard factors universally admitted by all scientists — that in the initial period of the «birth» of the universe, conditions of temperature, atmospheric pressure, radioactivity, and a host of other catalytic factors were totally different than those existing presently, including the fact that we don't know how single atoms or their components would bind and consolidate, which involved totally unknown processes and variables, as single atoms behave far differently than conglomerations of atom

This article implies that you can not believe
in atoms and the wonder of evolution without being atheist or non-Christian, which is simply not true (I feel more theistic
in a biochem class
than I do talking to close - minded «Christian» creationist idiots, interestingly enough for the same reasons the author does).
if you want hydrogen 1 proton, 1 neutron, 1 electron and you have 1
atom of hydrogen; the hard part is it would cost us more energy
than we can afford at this point
in our technological stage to accomplish such a feat.
Christians have always brushed aside the notion that the world is self - generating, a random concatenation of miscellaneous
atoms accidentally thrown together by no one
in particular and serving no larger purpose
than their own survival.
The revolutionary developments already erupting
in his own day still confront us with the relativistic and quantum mechanical portrayals of whatever «
atoms» are deemed ultimate, and even more so
than in the life sciences this development within the physical sciences spawned a continuing spiral of philosophic debate as to their proper interpretation.
Therefore, our bodies are really more space
than matter and IF we knew how to do it, we could arrange the
atoms in oor bodies to slip between the
atoms in a wall so that we could pass through it with room to spare!
Just because man is able to split the
atom in half and go to the moon, swim
in water when man is made for land (boats), travel faster on land (car, train)
than walking, and fly when man naturally does not fly (plane)-- all that is not enough to establish that man has the capacity to understand the evidence of God's existence.
but it had to do with the fact that there is more space
in an
atom than matter.
And not an
atom's weight

We must recognize that
in this context «adaptation» is strictly defined
in terms of survival values and that, generally speaking, it is the simpler forms of organization that possess the greatest staying power: living systems, no matter how fantastically intricate - and well organized they might be, have a much shorter span of existence
than, say, a rock crystal, or a single stable
atom.34
The extreme view that a person is «just a collection of
atoms» is less persuasive
in the light of tracer studies showing that the
atoms in our bodies are replaced every few years; 6 the self that continues must be constituted by the relationships and patterns among
atoms, rather
than by the
atoms in themselves.
The intricacy and unity of the human situation before God is not less dynamic and complex
than the one we encounter
in nature when we explore the energetic world of the
atom or of a sidereal system.
In this sense an atom is more complex than an electron, a molecule more complex than an atom, and a living cell more complex than the highest chemical nuclei of which it is composed, the difference depending (on this I insist) not only on the number and diversity of the elements included in each case, but at least as much on the number and correlative variety of the links formed between these element

Sometimes this cosmos appears to be little more
than a pantheism
in motion, as when Hartshorne says rather cryptically that «God is the self - identical individuality of the world somewhat as a man is the self - identical individuality of his ever changing system of
atoms» (MVG 230f).
Lawrence Krauss (
in Atom and A Universe Fom Nothing) presents a way more believable explanation for the formation of the universe
than The Babble, or any relgious charlatan.
The idea of
atoms in infinite time happening to fall into the order of a Shakespearean sonnet is no more rational
than a fairy tale.
At one point Leclerc suggests that compounds only come about when the acting is fully reciprocal (NPE 311), but there may well be more reciprocity among persons
in an intensive communal experience
than between the components of some compound, e.g., between some neutron
in the interior of the nucleus of an
atom and one of its electrons.
In a few thousand years of recorded history, we went from dwelling in caves and mud huts and tee - pees, not understanding the natural world around us, or the broader universe, to being able to travel through space, using reason to ferret out the hidden secrets of how the world works, from physics to chemistry to biology, we worked out the tools and rules underpinning it all, mathematics, and now we can see objects that are almost impossibly small, the very tiniest building blocks of matter, (or at least we can examine them, even if you can't «see» them because you're using something other than your eyes and photons to view them) to the very farthest objects, the planets circling other, distant stars, that are in their own way, too small to see from here, like the atoms and parts of atoms themselves, detected indirectly, but indisputably THER

Questions such as whether the language of «faith» has any authority
in a scientific age, or whether mind and life are reducible to
atoms and molecules, whether only the tangible is real, whether the human person is anything more
than a complex physico - chemical mechanism, whether we are free or determined, whether there is any «objective» truth to the symbols and myths of religion — all of these questions are asked at all only because what is fundamentally at issue is whether there is an ultimate context that gives meaning to cosmic process and significance to our lives
in this process.
The önd animates body and spirit; it is the force which enables them to act
in concert, but it does not appear to be personal, any more
than the
atoms which make up the physical body are personal.
While the bumps
in Braille signs are a few millimetres apart, the microscope detects bumps that are more
than million times smaller —
atoms and molecules.
Krissansen - Totton explains
in more detail: «Having methane and carbon dioxide together is unusual, because carbon dioxide is carbon's most oxidized state, and methane (composed of a carbon
atom linked to four hydrogen
atoms rather
than any oxygen at all) is its least,» he says.
By modelling the atomic vibration of individual
atoms in such clusters realistically, external
atoms on the surface of the structure can be «seen'to vibrate more
than internal
atoms.
The
atoms on the surface have larger ranges of motion
than those
in the middle of the cluster.
Atom interferometers might be used
in spacecraft as inertial navigation systems that would be more accurate
than current devices, which rely on laser gyroscopes.
It's heavier
than normal because each of the two hydrogen
atoms in heavy H2O weighs two rather
than one amu.
As expected, the forces varied according to the distance between the two
atoms; but,
in some cases, the forces were several times larger
than theoretically calculated.
This technique, described
in the Feb. 2 Physical Review Letters, showed that 2 - D semiconductors arranged
in single -
atom - thick sheets expand more like plastics
than metals when heated.
After all, particle accelerator searches over the last two decades had narrowed the range of possible masses for the Higgs; if it existed at all, it had to weigh
in at between 114 billion and 143 billion electron volts or GeV (1 GeV is slightly more
than the mass of a hydrogen
atom).
«But the fluctuations extend down to the Planck scale [far smaller
than an
atom] because the microtubules are driven bioenergetically to be
in a coherent state.
In fact, the heat response of the single -
atom - thick semiconductors is «more like [that] of a plastic
than a metal,» Mecklenburg says.
The second is currently defined by caesium atomic clocks, but optical clocks promise higher precision because their
atoms oscillate at the frequencies of light rather
than in the microwave band, so they can slice time into smaller intervals.
This is more

We don't notice them
in everyday life because they are short - range, extending over only tiny distances smaller
than an
atom.
Although the
atoms of an unfolded protein are less densely packed
than a folded one, the complex shape retains some voids and cavities, so a 30 percent decrease
in volume is unrealistic.
Protons and neutrons cluster
in a nucleus, 100,000 times smaller
than its
atom, and are themselves composed of other stupendously small things: quarks and gluons.
There are more possible moves
in Go
than there are
atoms in the universe, so AlphaGo couldn't work out its strategy simply by «solving» the game.
