Physics in OOP?
-
Let's look to the world as to a big Application. I am an instance of type Man, I extend class Human, and Human somehow extends abstract class Mammal...which was well tested before on other classes like Monkey, Tiger, Lion and many others...and Mammal derives from type Object (p.s. biological model is simplified :) ) But what is then Physics and Mathematics? Is it an Operating System? But where are every day updates? Where are viruses? And what are molecules and atoms? Is it what you see in ildasm.exe?
Interesting... Every response here demands intelligent design... Physics and Mathematics simply become the principles of management, put into place by the Developer. An OS, uses the principles of management to accomplish tasks. In this case, to provide an environment for apps and objects to thrive. According to physicists, even the lifeless planets are mandatory for Earth to operate properly. Thus: no moon, no tides, no apps. They also say that there are parameters for stable solar systems. So: no other planets in the Sol system, no apps running on Earth, etc. A well designed OS wouldn't need updates, because updates imply that the principles of management change. This one even has garbage collection! Viruses also imply that the principles of management can be altered. This is not possible though many objects within apps might wish to. Wouldn't atoms and molecules also be objects, at a granular level, working according to the principles of management, within the environment provided by the OS? Then there's the concept of fuzzy logic... :-D

I would assume that would have been in the Man class...
"impossible" is just an opinion.
Actually, that should be in the SexualAnimal class, girls just have an added cloaking mechanism. The NonAsexualAnimal class would have to have something similar though, nan.Split(), nan.DevideAndConquer() etc...

I don't want to think I'm running inside Netscape.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
No kidding, though that would explain a few things...

Surely molecules and atoms are below the OOP language level. Are they not the machine language; where molecules are complete instructions including operands. If you are seriously trying to understand such objects in terms of their class relationship to say living things then they are interacting constituents. For instance nothing is actually derived from an atom. A molecule isn't an extended class of atom, it does however contain atoms.

Particles are primatives, everything above that (atoms up) are at least structs. The bigger question is what holds the universe' memory? Where can I find the heap to retro-actively remedy the big steaming pile of crap I just stepped into? And that hair cut last week? And what are life's cheat code anyway?

Thats me:
#define ETERNITY 99999999999
static long haveSex = 0;
class DeyanGeorgiev : public Man, public virtual Mammal
{
public:virtual void WantSex() { While(!(true == HaveSex())) { Man::WantSex(); } } private: virtual bool HaveSex() { Man:: HaveSex() return ++haveSex > ETERNITY; }}
The narrow specialist in the broad sense of the word is a complete idiot in the narrow sense of the word.

No, atoms are in the "Has a" category, rather than the "Is a" category. Humans (like all other mammals, animals, and lifeforms, from which the Human class derives) Have cells, which is a class that Has molecules, which in turn Have atoms (which of course Have elementary particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons, some of which Have quarks and the like). Photons, gluons, and other particles that carry forces are classes that are only used as arguments to interface functions (or are they the interface functions themselves?). I don't know, I got off track somewhere and forgot what my original point was. I think one of the messages between neurons (derived from the cell class) in my brain got some data corruption or something.

So, pretty soon the big bang theory will be proved wrong?

I recently watched a television show (before I went to work) about Biological Engineering from MIT I believe, they compaired the similarities between Computer Science and Electrical Engineering to BE. The ways they are trying to break down BE into different abstraction layers was cool. Anyways, just a random thought, check it out on Wikipedia for more info...or Google it or something.

You're right, the bbt is just a theory. Doesn't the bbt still demand an explanation as to the source of the very first Object.Hydrogen.Proton.Muon.CharmedQuark? There must be a first one. It had to come from somewhere. Once that is explained, everything else falls into place. Then there is the concept of time... :-D

I actually tell people that "Computer Science" is really "Information Science", and that everything that exists is data. What we do in ComSci really reflects a microcosm of how the universe works as a whole. It's true science -- not just how to do stuff with computers. A lot of people don't get that, but you question really gets right to the heart of it. I think the end result of CompSci will be that one day we'll have quantum "computer" devices that can manipulate reality in any way we see fit. Replicators from Star Trek and all the crazy things in the Sci-fi of today will look rudimentary. Once we figure out how to process quantum particles as data, we've become gods. Looking at how far we've come in the past century, I don't think we'll have to wait too long as a species for that to happen.

Personally, I think it would all have to depend on how much RAM you have and what your Graphic Cards Specs are.

Careful. You might get a stack overflow exception. :^)

How about this? Everything has always existed. Is there something about the concept of no beginning that short circuits some peoples brains or what? The main proof of the big bang theory is the red shift is greater the farther away something is which the believers say is because objects farther away are moving faster. The real reason though is probably just that the sheer distance attenuates the energy which by itself would red shift it. The objects could just as well be moving toward us as away from us. Isn't physics fun? Hood
