Time Traveller: <<Does that scientist who temporarily discovered a magnetic monopole also share the same whacko belief of ESP (extra sensory perception of humane brain) with Josephson? Maybe working with temperature down to a few degrees above absolute zero anything becomes minutely possible.>> Genius comes with eccentricity. This is true with Josephson, Shockley (one of co-inventor of the transistor), Feynman, etc. What maybe whacko to us make perfect sense for them. <<However, when AMD marks a chip at a certain speed, it is not necessarily capable of functioning at that speed. The K6-2/333 I bought has already locked up once while booting. My P-II/450 has never locked up once even overclocked to 500MHz while booting.>> You can't make that conclusion based upon your experience. What you have to understand is that compatibility problem among the super socket 7 MBs is a problem. That could be a reason for the lockup. Furthermore I don't think you are trained to put a computer system together correctly. There are hundreds of ways to make a wrong move. I suggest you to buy a finished system from IBM, CPQ, etc. Then you can come back and give your opinion. <<Or perhaps Josephson has discovered time traveling, just like myself, in which he knows the relative future if events were to be unaltered due to this extra knowledge.>> Believe it or not time traveling is possible according to the new 10 dimensional superstring theory. Einstein special relativity said that you can only go back in time if you go faster than speed of light and it takes infinite energy to reach speed of light. This theory however breaks down when the localization of energy or gravity becomes large. In ten dimensional superstring it unites gravity, Maxwell equation, strong and weak force in a 10x10 matrix. Time is just like XYZ. Solution predicts that going backward in time is possible. But what about the paradoxes? The new theory suggest that if you go back in time and changed an event that is related to your past you haven't changed your future. What you have done is changed the future of a parallel person of yourself. You continues to live normally like the way you live. Maxwell
