Recent progress
in understanding the physics of quantum information has led to novel methods to simulate quantum physics, both on existing classical computers and on future quantum computers.

understand physics content.
But the efficiency of wind turbines is almost at its maximum already for any given size, since we
also understand the physics of wind blades very well.

We no longer believe the Earth is flat, and have proof We no longer believe the Sun Revolves around the Earth, and have proof We no longer believe demons cause disease, and have proof We no longer believe the earth is 6000 years old, and have proof We have ideas about weather and how it is formed, and have proof We no longer believe flying and space travel are impossible, and have proof We
now understand the physics behind rainbows, gravity, lightning, thunder, and fire.
Whitehead makes a point of taking a concept from biology to
understand physics instead of interpreting biological organisms from models developed in physics.
