Computers 2: Week of 5/16/2011 do now
I keep my computer organized in a multitude of different ways. All of the papers that i write for school i keep in folders named after the teacher to witch its for. Every photo or video i add to my computer is renamed to something i can remember. I use a hierarchal system when organizing my computer because files belong to certain folders when i add them to the computer. Tagging is when you give an entry a label so its easier to find and social bookmarking is a method for storing and managing bookmarks of web pages with individually chosen keywords;also, the sharing of this data. these are important because they help organize your computer.

Is there a 4th dimension ?
Einstein’s theories of relativity hold that space and time are woven together into a four-dimensional fabric, and that a weighty body like a planet or a star depresses that fabric, like someone sitting on a chair or a trampoline. Gravitational attraction is really just the rotation of a massive body would also affect the fabric, so that a distant observer would perceive objects close to a gravitational body as being dragged around. Think of Earth sitting in a vat of liquid — as the planet rotates, the liquid starts to swirl, too, and so does everything near the Earth.
If this is true, the axis of a gyroscope would change when compared to the light from a faraway star. This is what GP-B was designed to do.
Orbiting 400 miles above the Earth in a polar orbit, GP-B contains four gyroscopes made of quartz-silicon spheres that are considered nearly perfect objects following the warped path. This developement explains many things and skews all previous calculations with regard to extra solar events. IT also opens up a new world of math to astronomers who need more exacting numbers to conduct experiments with regard to space and time. Lastly the new equations that come from the realization of this new truth may help solve the energy crisis on the Earth.
