"Quantum mechanics would allow you to make your income tax return in a second" This 35-year-old researcher born in Manresa is one of the great experts in quantum mechanics. Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Austrian University of Innsbruck, he is currently working on the creation of a quantum computer and on the Theory of Entanglement.
With the help of advanced computer program that he himself designed, Martinus Veltman got ahead of the scientific community by explaining the workings of the internal mechanics of the universe. This earned this physicist born in 1931 in Bilthoven, Holland, a Nobel sung in the scientific community for years.
If belonging to the digital world were a religion, the sacred texts would be written by Nicholas Negroponte. His life is closely linked to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where in the 1960s he studied Computer Aided Design, a then revolutionary discipline. Now he directs the Media Laboratory of that institution, is a professor at Berkeley, has created the NGO 2b1 and is a collaborator of MUY.
"Machines will be able to do everything that people do, because people are only machines" He qualifies as a theoretical psychologist, although in reality he is an eminent mathematician and computer scientist. He is co-founder of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and professor of Art and Communication Sciences. He treats machines almost as if they were human beings and works to get them to think for themselves. Vehement and controversial, his character has served to antagonize many colleagues.
"The challenge for the future remains speed" He is one of the fathers of the personal computer revolution and is among the most powerful men in the computer industry. However, unlike Bill Gates, he is very little known outside the guild. Andy Grove, a 59-year-old doctor of chemistry, is of Hungarian origin and fled his country for political reasons when he was still a teenager. Intel Corporation, the company he created and of which he has been CEO since 1987, is headquartered in the Californian city of Santa Clara. 80% of all the PCs that work in the world have a Pentium processor manufactured by Intel inside them.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
