NEW INSIGHTS into BUSINESS: teacher's Book

In fact, computer models have become one of the most prevalent ways of discovering new properties of collections of many identical components, given knowledge only of the properties of an individual component. Computer simulations have yielded new insights into how galaxies form spiral arms, based on modeling a single star as a mobile gravitating point. Computer simulations have shown how solids, liquids, and gases vibrate, flow, and change state, based on modeling a single molecule as a simple electromagnetically interacting structure. It is a fact that people habitually underestimate the intricacy and complexity that can result from a huge number of interacting units obeying formal rules at very high speeds, relative to our time scale. Dawkins concludes his book by presenting his own meme about memesБЂ”software replicators that dwell in minds. He precedes his presentation of the notion by entertaining the idea of alternate life-support media. One that he fails to mention is the surface of a neutron star, where nuclear particles can band together and disband thousands of times faster than atoms do ...»
