Performance
The
Hotsos Symposium 2014 will be held March 2-6, 2014 in Irving, TX. This is
always one of the best, if not the best performance conferences for Oracle
professionals. We have a a discount code for Oracle Priority Service customers
that will get you $250 off on the symposium: 14BSYMRK.

...And Finally
History may view this year as
one of the most important points in our growing understanding of how the
universe is put together due to a recent discovery on black holes. It was
previously thought that black holes have a quantum singularity at their core. But
that may not be so, and if it is not a singularity in there one problem is
resolved…and a much larger change of thinking that comes about. The problem
solved is the loss of information. Because a singularity takes in information
and never releases it, eventually fading away itself, that means a loss of
information. According to quantum theory information cannot be lost. So that
put cosmology in a bit of a pickle. But without the singularity at the core,
the black holes may be portals, rather like the stargates in several science
fiction works. But don’t get all excited yet. What comes out on the other end
of the trip through the black hole is not subatomic particles, but it’s also
not spaceships, just small particles. They still seem to act like giant wood chippers.
But the change in our understanding of black holes means that the fundamental
concept of the ‘Big Bang’ may be wrong. I have thought for many years that in
an infinite universe it seems implausible for everything to come from one
‘spot’. I have always thought that at some point our instruments will be able
to see far enough out to see other big bangs hurtling toward us through the
howling emptiness of the void. But it may be that there was a big bang, but
it’s more of a big bounce. The contents of another universe are sucked into a
large black hole and spewed out into our space, thus putting in place the great
cloud of gas that eventually forms the stars, tadpoles, baseball stadiums, etc.
of our reality. Here’s a news item from the SciTech
Daily on it: Study
Takes Singularity Out of Black Holes.
It's said that imitation is the
highest form of complement (though outright plagiarism if frowned on). The
difficulty sometimes lies in what is the optimum natural design to imitate.
