Incredible!
Last Wednesday 11th, an interesting article about the ingenious creativity of human mind , was published by some national news papers here in United Kingdom, which we all should salute and celebrate.
We have come from a long way and I believe; we have a longer way to go. We have been given an infinite source of bounty, which we are just beginning to tap in, and so far so good we are just at its fringes. The rules are very simple, all we have to do is to Learn and Look around without fear or loosing hope. To live is to have hopes, even though there seem to be an infinite ocean of UNCERTAINTY , just spreading before us.
This is a world of infinite possibilities together with an infinite hidden obstacles just to try our patient and to test our endurance. Those who persist in their quest with a profound believe, finally do come across that bright light always shining at the end of the tunnel.

IBM, has managed to come up with an monster computer, capable of process a TRILLION (1,000,000,000,000) calculations a SECOND. This bring them to break all the previous records so far in the history of our modern day technical endeavor. Roadrunner as baptized to, is twice the size of its elder the Blue Gene, by the same IBM.
Here, I take you through the journey into the world of numbers that sum up this incredible piece of engineering.
1,500 years.
This is how long it would take Gray-1, a first built super computer in 70's, to do what Roadrunner does in apparently TWO hours.
46 years.
This is the length of period it will take 6,000,000 people to do what Roadrunner can do in a DAY
230 tonnes.
Preparations are being made for the transportation of all the components of the machine to its new accommodation. A total number of 21 lorries are needed for the trip and it weights exactly around 230 tonnes
50 times less
After going through all these incredible numbers surrounding this extraordinary piece of engineering; here comes the INTERESTING part of the whole show.
Yes, this machine and the many inventions that we brought forth out of our Imagination, since the beginning of the 17th century to date, are of course food for thought, for those of us who argues, about the purposes and source of MANKIND. After reading all these brilliances of human mind from the scientific, philosophical and Religious stand points; one just wonders.
How on earth, have we manage to get to this point and are we really what we think we are?
Is there something profoundly truthful about us and our environment, in terms of the way we have come up with some alien things that were not here before?
We abide by the same laws of " Cause and Effect" to be at the source of those beautiful and brilliant inventions, which we seem to be unable to do without as soon as we made them available to ourselves. Yet we have failed through out the same length of time, in acknowledging the same principles, for our own Existence in this beautiful Universe. We are hell bound to deny that we are indeed a product, subjected to Intelligence and Design from a Source Most Powerful. After a close look at these processes and their out come as a product, we fail to set up similar analysis to answer the same question about our own being. From Physics, Biology to Chemistry, we came across, over an infinite sets of laws, that are being followed to the letter by Nature in other to process the information encoded in them and to produce that final product through the evolutionary journey.
The Roadrunner, with all its might and with all its weight and with all its hight, yet the Roadrunner is 50 time less powerful than, yes!, you know it; that big jelly of Grey substance, full of Salt water, intertwine by electrical cells and Blood veins, right inside your skull, sometimes weighting less than 5 kgs.
If, as I believe and Praise those brave Scientists for coming up with Roadrunner, to be Extraordinary, then I have no other words to qualify the BIGGEST PIECE of ENGINEERING ever in my own being.
One sentence, comes to my mind, I can not help but to utter.
