Let’s contemplate the
new computer that was installed in Germany and it’s a device that
carries out 223 billion calculations a second and contains 65 thousand
processors and then compare this computer to the tiniest
creatures........ …
New Scientific News
Germany
is witnessing the installation of the fastest computer for civilian
applications in the world. In February22nd, 2008, a giant computer was
first installed at the Germany city of Julich. This computer will be
used to support the scientific research in Germany and other European
countries according to the significance of the research to
developapplied sciences in the fields of astronomy, energy,
pharmaceutical industry and other fields.
This
computer will be the fastest among 500 computers for civilian purposes
in the world; the only one faster computer is the computer that’s used
for military applications in the American nuclear energy center at the
state of California.
“Eugenh”
Computer, the supercomputer, isn’t a personal computer for it includes
65 thousand processors that are installed in 16 boxesand each one is the
same size as that of the necessary electronic chip for a normal phone.
As for its sound during its functioning, it's so loud that it’s
recommended to put on ear noise insulation before getting into the hall.
In this respect, Dr. NeubertAtej, head of the application dept., says
that all sixteen boxes generate heat up to 30 kw capacity.
In
order to work, the computer requires an environment of 16 degree
temperature. The speed of the computer is almost that of 20 thousand PCs
together i.e. it carries out almost 223billion calculations a second
and this is something that could hardly be imagined as Atej says. Around
200 research teams from Germany and Europe could depend on the support
of the computer in doing relevant calculations to their research and
studies. In this respect, there's a committee that specifies which
projects to be given the priority of making use of this support.
This
is happening because simulation through forming models, charts, and
others has become the third major pillar of sciences next to theory and
application. Developing a new medicine requires many experiments to know
the impact of the ingredients. Through the use of the computer,
scientists could explore their general impact and save the time spent in
conducting many lab experiments as well as saving money. As for
astronomy, the computer plays a bigger role since laboratory experiments
are way harder and more complex.
What about Allah’s Creation
Scientists
in the West consider this computer at the top of technological and
scientific advancement, but as a believer, I'd like to read this news
from a faith perspective, an attitude that I often have when I read any
scientific research. If we compare this giant computer to a tiny insect
such as the mosquito, the mosquito will definitely surpass this device.
In the mosquito's brain, there are several hundred thousands of cells
and in every cell there's an extremely complex computer.
The
supercomputer needs a complete building as well as a team of engineers
and researchers. It also requires a special power plant, coolers, noise
reduction devices, and control systems. This computer has 65,000
processors while the brain of one bee has almost a million processors.
This
is the head of a mosquito. Look at this perfect design for most of the
head is compound eyes that have thousands of lenses through which the
mosquito could see and find its way when flying. If it weren’t for this
great design of the mosquito's eyes, it could have never been able to
live and perform its functions. Scientists are puzzled and wonder from
where has this wonderful design come. The answer is very obvious; it's
Allah the Great who says in the holy Qur'an:“God is the Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian and Disposer if all affairs.”Zumar or the Crowds: 62
Man’s
brain has more than million million neurological cells that function
with highly efficiency and in an inimitable coordination. If we
contemplate any creature on this earth, we’ll find that their brains
function more efficiently than the new supercomputer. Don't all these
facts testify and prove the might of Allah, the creator who addresses
every atheist by saying:
“Such
is the Creation of God: now show Me what is there that others besides
Him have created: nay, but the transgressors are on manifest error.”Luqman: 11
