quid: "The case of Philip Emeagwali is a cautionary tale on the pitfalls of self-delusion, laziness, and a sense of entitlement. Mr. Emeagwali enrolled in a doctoral program in Civil Engineering at the University of Michigan in 1987. His coursework over, he took the comprehensive examination that qualifies one for candidacy. He failed the exam twice and did not take it a third time. In the meantime, he conducted the research that would later win him the Gordon Bell Prize, a research he began as a class project for one of his graduate courses. In 1991, two years after winning the Gordon Bell by default, he petitioned the Dean of the School of Engineering to be allowed to submit a dissertation (despite not having passed his candidacy exam and therefore not being a doctoral candidate) in a different department — the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. His request was curiously granted in what was clearly a sidestepping of standard procedure. Emeagwali submitted the dissertation, basically a rework of his entry for the Gordon Bell competition, on July 24, 1992. A team of internal and external evaluators examined it and found it unworthy of a doctorate and turned it down." |

gines.You invented the hyperball nature-inspired computer network, can you describe it for us?Philip Emeagwali -I observed that many problems that occur in nature possess a spherical structure. For example, the Earth is spherical and, for this reason, forecasting global warming is best done on a hyperball computer which has numerous processing nodes interconnected in a spherical-structure. This was what motivated me to invent the hyperball computer.Click on photograph for larger photo - Hyperball nature-inspired computer network invented by Emeagwali. The red dots represent the processing nodes while the red lines show which nodes are directly connected.You have described your research approach as multi-disciplinary, unorthodox, intuitive and nature-inspired. Tell us more?Philip Emeagwali -I am a mathematician who relies heavily on qualitative problem solving techniques. I studied the most influential scientists and inventors to learn what made them different from ordinary people and discovered that the most creative peoplein the world scored lower than expected in SAT and IQ tests and most only earned high school diplomas.Henri Poincare, considered one of the world's greatest mathematicians, had an extremely low IQ. Thomas Edison (electricity), Benjamin Banneker (clock), Garret Morgan (traffic light), Henry Ford (automobile) and Alexander Graham Bell (telephone)had 8th to 12th grade education. Bill Gates (Microsoft), Ted Turner (CNN), Bill Lear (Lear jet), Soichiro Honda (Honda cars), and Howard Hughes (Hughes aircraft) never earned a college degree.These geniuses had average IQ but made the world a better place by using their intuition. The lesson that I learned from the greatest inventors and scientists is that I will invent and discover more things by de-emphasizing quantitative methods andusing a multi-disciplinary, unorthodox, intuitive and nature-inspired approach.You have stated that you have found algorithms, software and computers can be enantiomeric --- that is, they have left-handed and right-handed versions like shoes. How did you apply that observation?Philip Emeagwali -Computers that are commerciallyavailable are symmetric or non-handed but it is possible that some existing software and algorithmsare left- or right-handed. I have demonstrated that you can apply a righted-handed algorithm and software to a right-handed computer. But I have not shown how to apply the right- and left-handed algorithms and software to applications.How they can be applied may depend on the thoughtprocesses that led to my discovering them. I discovered enantiomeric computing by observing everyday things such as fitting an ear muff over an ear, slipping our feet into shoes, and putting our hands inside gloves.Because I believe that humans are computers, I conjectured that computers, like people, can have left- and right-handed versions.Since the left hand has a left glove that complements it, I reasoned that a left-handed computer must have left-handed software and algorithms that also complements it. Therefore, efforts to implement a left-handed software on a right-handed computer may be as awkward as putting your left shoe on your right leg. This discovery is weird and totally unexpected.Because this discovery is new, it will take a while to fully understand its implications and applications. Our lives sometimes depends on computers performing as predicted. When an algorithm or software is symmetric, that is, has no left- and right-handed versions, it will not matter whether it is executed in a right- or left-handed computer. For example, because a pen or fork or hammer is symmetric, it does not matter whether we hold it in our right or left hand. On the other hand, a glove is either right- or left-handed and it matters whether we wear it in our right or left hands. It is possible that a right-handed computer can perform in unpredictable manner when a left-handed software is unintentionally executed in it.On the optimistic side, it might be possible that a right-handed computer may be more useful than a left-handed computer. Remember the drug called thalidomide which is manufactured in both left- and right-handed forms. One form of it causes birth defects when taken by pregnant women and the other form is safely prescribed by doctors as a sedative.The right- and left-hand versions of the lactic acid molecule.I am most intrigued by your statements in regards tonature and technology, and how your computing networks have dealt with the awe inspiring powers of nature like the oil field flows, the weather, the movement of the oceans. Are you on the brink of solving any of nature's deeper mysteries and what does a scientist owe mot 4 Likes |

Yoruba keep deluding themselves as been educated the osun state issue opened their nyash another global Igbo scientist Dr njemanze emanzePhotos Source: Chidicon, Inc. USACredits: He has ground-breaking works in Cognitive Neuroscience and is credited with postulation of the Light Theory of Cerebral Asymmetry for Brain Function in Men and Women, which postulates that men have a right brain function dependent on the wave properties ofLight, but women a left brain function dependent on the particulate energy property of Light. This is the theory of Everything in localization of brain function for intelligence, facial processing and color processing (2004, 2005, 2007).He also has several internationally accredited theories on Brain Blood Flow in Neurocardiological conditions.Bio: Philip was born on March 15th, 1962 in Owerri, Nigeria. He trained inNeurosurgery and Neurology, with research interests in cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases in University of Munich, University of London and Bowman Gray School of Medicine in North Carolina USA. He later became Research Professor in Neurosciences. He was awarded thetitle of Academician for Outstanding Theories on the Function of the Brainin Space by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) – a United Nations Space Organization including all major Space Agencies in the World. He was a Principal Investigator on the study of the Brainin Space for the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA), atJohnson Space Center, Houston, USA, and in Health Applications of Remote Sensing at the Ames Research Center, Moffett Field California, USA from 1995-2000.He is Chairman of the International Institutes of Advanced Research andTraining, Chidicon Medical Center, Owerri. He is a member of several international scientific academies and medical professional organizations. As a members of the British institute of Inventors, he holds over two dozen inventions. He is one of Africa’s leading scientific innovators and has several United States and United Kingdom patentedinventions for several medical devices.

CharmO1: you are quite asinine to even come back and quote me again. If this forum had been called Yorubaland or O'odualand, I'd have stayed far away from it but it's Nairaland. And the creator of the forum is Yoruba, yes but other tribes are acknowledged here officially. If someone creates a thread about his tribe and you don't like what he wrote about his own tribe, don't post insults. Read and walk away. It's sheer and utter 5tupidity to insult a tribe on a thread that has not insulted your tribe.Nne idi 2much 1 Like |
