Computational Science In 2020

While not really a law in the same sense as Newton's laws or the laws of thermodynamics, Moore's "law" (which states that the density at which transistors can be packed on integrated circuits with the technology existing at the time doubles approximately every two years) has held for the past forty years, and is likely to continue over the next ten years before hitting fundamental obstacles (which it eventually must do, since a transistor cannot possibly be smaller that a single atom, and even before that limit is reached, the technological nature of the transistors and the manufacturing processes involved would have to change radically). read more
