Showing a “2 dimensional picture”…

    Spin, which is assigned a value of “up” or “down,” is a quantum-mechanical property of electrons. Like charge, spin can be encoded with binary data. See:The Current Spin on Spintronics Spintronics (a neologism for “spin-based electronics”), also known as magnetoelectronics, is an emerging technology which exploits the quantum spin states of electrons as well as…

    The New Bet Whereas Stephen W. Hawking (having lost a previous bet on this subject by not demanding genericity) still firmly believes that naked singularities are an anathema and should be prohibited by the laws of classical physics, And whereas John Preskill and Kip Thorne (having won the previous bet) still regard naked singularities as…
