The current temperature of the universe is 2.72548 Kelvin. By Landauer's principle, the minimum amount of energy required to erase or alter one bit of information is kT ln(2), where k is Boltzmann's constant and T is the temperature in Kelvin. At 2.72548 K, this energy is approximately 2.6 x 10-23 Joules. By...
It is self-serving to claim one ā€œdiscoveredā€ an artist, but I guess I did. Early works here circa 1992 by 1930 Haitian born artist Max Romain of the Bronx, New York. I found his work In an amateur exhibition at a branch of the New York Public Library. It had been arranged by a library worker and friend of the...
