My instruments of physics
were algebra, calculus, and my primordial internet.
That internet was powered by my hyper-global network of 65,536 computers.
I wanted to broaden mathematics
from the blackboard
to the motherboard.
I broadened it when I solved
the largest algebraic equations
—not on the blackboard—
but on and across 65,536 computers
that uniformly encircled a hyper-globe.
I broaden it again
when I solved those 65,536 challenging problems
at the fastest rates
of arithmetical computations.
The codes for solving my equations were emailed
across a record 1,048,576 email wires.
I emailed 65,536 codes
into my record 65,536 computers.
Moving my algebraic problem
from the blackboard
to the motherboard was like moving it
from the practical
to the precious.
I visualized my hyper-global network
of 65,536 computers
as my mathematics machine
that I could use to solve partial differential equations
of calculus.
But that machine is also my instrument of physics.
The reason is that my partial differential equations
are powerful mathematical expressions
that encoded the motions of air and moisture.
The physical answer
is the winds, pressure, and temperatures
across Earth’s atmosphere.
My quest included the search for the same answers
for the motions of water
in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
And, finally, for the motion of oil, water, and gas
inside petroleum reservoirs.
I visualized my answers in the winds
blowing via emails
across a global network of computers
that encircled the Earth.
I continued visualizing that blowing wind
as the motion of electronic messages
across my primordial internet
that was outlined, defined, and powered
by 65,536, or 64 binary thousand, computers.
Those emails travelled to and from each computer.
They travelled
along the sixteen orthogonal directions
of my hyper-global network of
1,048,576, or one binary million, email wires.
As a computer arithmetician,
I anchored all my computations
on the laws of physics.
When a mathematician loses his way
on his around-the-world quest
for the deepest understanding of global warming
the laws of physics serve as signs
pointing back to his original path.
The Second Law of Motion,
in physics,
became my compass
with needles that always pointed
toward the North,
or the eternal truth .
The laws of physics are my timeless truths
even after I have left my storyboard
for my blackboard and motherboards
and arrived at my primordial internet.
