These are devices that are capable of autonomous flight. How is the technology of these devices related to that of the auto pilot on private and commercial aircrafts? 4: Why only silicon chip is used in computers? Does it have any special property? 5: It seems that the universe was created by a big perfect explosion, it is also expanding in harmony to the point that it has created galaxies where billions of stars were formed. It also seems that stars created their own planets becoming solar systems. It seems that our solar system has been shaped with the right conditions in order for earth to become a green house and support life in many ways. Our plants, animals and us as a species are structured with DNA coding. Our universe is full of constants such as gravity, and speed. My question based on my observation is the following: Is the universe a computer program due to the fact that there are not coincidences other than cause and effect? 6: How do computer screens work? 7: How do I Program Robots? 8: How can you find glitches in programming without having to go through it manually and run the program a lot? 9: How do you think scientists are able to observe record study and predict changes in the earth? 10: Hello, we are learning about cell respiration and mitochondria and are wondering how scientists know enough about what is occurring within the mitochondria to make animations such as the one presented by Bioflix ( watch here ). We have learned about electron microscopes and have a basic understanding of how scientists see individual organelles, but we are skeptical as to how they actually know what the ATP synthase 'turbine' looks like. How on Earth do they know that H protons are what cause it to spin? We have tried Googling this but haven't come up with anything satisfying. Thank you! 11: Could you explain to me in a simple way what the scientific base for quantum computers is? What is the difference between them and the computers we use nowadays? When will we be able to use quantum computers? Thank you for your time. 12: How are computers made? 13: Can you explain in simple words how the quantum computer works? 14: What is a scientific discovery that you were most excited about in the last year? Why? 15: How accurate are simulations predicting the rise of water in oceans due to climate change? 16: What data type is being used for computer images? I know it will all ultimately be converted to bits. I want to know as a user, which data type should be used to store such information. Also, I want to know how the CPU works to change the given data into bits, and what data type will be good for the CPU to easily change the given data. Thanks! 17: How does TCP/IP work? I understand that they send messages to other computers. 18: Why is it that early computers had green text? 19: In c++ when we have an a && b, then if a is false, b isn't considered. Does something similar happen when we have a && b &&c? Copyright © 2020 The Regents of the University of California, All Rights Reserved. UCSB Terms of Use
