What part of full-atom molecular simulation is being funded or helped through this? Why my questions is important because, i dont want to see another longer cern particle collider just so we can find a smaller particle than the atom. why do i say this? because that will be an epic waste of money. just to bring a little perspective into the context, let me explain where i'm coming from...
maybe truth doesnt lie in finding the smallest particle, because the atom can tell us as much as the smaller particle can about the rest of the universe, as much as the universe and nature can teach us about the higgsboson particle without even finding the particle. so here's the leap of faith: if this is possible, we need to first start with a change in perception and logic/understanding of how our world really works, because what if all that we know is not truth? if we do not seek truth first, we are simply learning/educating blindly, things that could eventually be meaningless and even lead us into the wrong paths. Point here is; if we know Truth, we will know where to look for Knowledge. Do you agree with me?
i was told that #Gridcoin = money that can be obtained by contributing CPU/GPU power towards scientific research via BOINC.
in certain fields such as :
1. Full-atom molecular simulation
2. Asteroid research
3. Human genome mapping.. just a few things #Gridcoin mining does.
i'm interested in some more questions here..
by dedicating mining power via bonic, does that mean that the mining power is used for researchers to tap into a pool of computational power to run calculations in respect of conducting research? is this statement right? am i wrong or does it have more utility than this? because from what i know sometimes it takes hours and days just to run a calculation on your personal laptop for finding statistical relationships if variables n data is large. seems like really good way to take the load off the personal computers of researchers, while being able to tap into a network of otherwise wasted energy..
also, why these specific fields? what is the one goal of gridcoin, besides research? why pick the fields that were picked?
and how do you go about accelerating research & education within them?
what are your efforts to make gridcoin an environmentally friendly coin?
i think your last question is very important, but the answer is really simple.
When you mine gridcoin, you actually use (most of) your cpu/gpu for some boinc'project. So, you're not wasting power, but you're using it to help science.
