- tlb 8y agoThat one's pretty aspirational. At present, we have no idea how to build a supercomputer that simulates exactly even a cubic nanometer-femtosecond of space. It's tempting to believe that we might someday figure out that physics is digital, but there is no workable theory for how.
- kowdermeister 8y agoNot sure what your definition of simulation, but there is already one done on a supercomputer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3xLuZNKhlY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3xLuZNKhlY
- yorwba 8y agoThat's a box of ≈21 cubic femtometers and the time resolution is one yoctosecond. The difference between that and a cubic nanometer-femtosecond is more than 25 orders of magnitude. And that's just simulating quantum chromodynamics. Add in the other parts of the Standard Model and scaling the simulation gets even more difficult.
- kowdermeister 8y agoI'm pretty happy we can even simulate a box of ≈21 cubic femtometers :) Maybe they should turn RTX on.
