On today's (3/17/94) _The_700_Club_ they ran a segment on
supercomputing. All of their film was from a visit to
Los Alamos National Laboratory. Only two people were
interviewed on-camera, Peter Lohmdahl and David Forslund.
The main segment didn't say anything controversial. They
showed some film of a row of Connection Machines, and some
computer simulations. Problems being attacked included
ocean temperature modeling, "advanced brain modeling", etc.
It was said that transportation research can account for
every vehicle in a city. A molecular dynamics simulation
was shown in which a cube was impacting on a surface.
You could see phonons, crack propagation, etc. It was said
that this technique simulates every single molecule in the
system.
After the segment, Pat Robertson put his own spin on it.
He talked about how the Beast will control every single
human being, can determine where they are, how much money
they have, what they spend it on, etc. How this was once
a fantasy, but now with supercomputers it is a possibility
that "it all feeds into some giant brain". _The_700_Club_
is offering a "fact" sheet on supercomputers and the
consequences "if this thing gets into the wrong hands".
