nably, not to act with logos (word or
reason) is contrary to the nature of God,’.… It is to this great
logos, to this breadth of reason, that we invite our partners in
the dialogue of cultures.”
Their fear of reason can only lead the world to disaster.A Chip That Can Transfer Data Using Laser Light
By JOHN MARKOFF
Published: September 18, 2006
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17 - Researchers plan to announce on Monday that they
have created a silicon-based chip that can produce laser beams. The advance
will make it possible to use laser light rather than wires to send data
between chips, removing the most significant bottleneck in computer design.
The development is a result of research at Intel, the world's largest chip
maker, and the University of California, Santa Barbara. Commercializing the
new technology may not happen before the end of the decade, but the prospect
of being able to place hundreds or thousands of data-carrying light beams on
standard industry chips is certain to shake up both the communications and
computer industries.
