Using computers for discovery
Space Discovery
The eagle has landed
6 Apollo missions returned to the moon, they used the AGC (Apollo Guidance computer)
AGC was specially build for guide Apollo rocket, today, all rocets have one
July 20, 1969, first landing at the moon
AGC was heavy, slow and difficult to use
Life on mars?
The Robot designed is used to study rocks on mars
Robots did not discoverd life on mars, they discovered microscope life
Robots are used to explore planets, 2 robots landed on mars
The explorer had:
Two video cameras as eyes
A flexibke robot arm to examine rocks
A hammer to breack rocks open
Instruments to analyse rocks
A microscope to look closely at rocks
Predicting natural disasters
Wheather forecasting
Two parts ti predicting
Satellites and radar record real weather conditions. Data about the weather fed into a computer
The weather sata is processed using algorithms that predict how weather conditions will change over the coming hours and days
Very fast and powerfoul computers are called supercomputers, a supercomputer can process huge amounts of data very quickly
This allor meteorologists to predict huracanes, they can learn how storm work, they change their algorithms to improve predictions in the future
Meteorologists predict where bad weather will occur. This allow people to evacuate or prepare areas
Earthquakes
Seismologist are scientisist that study Earthquakes, they use sensors and satelity images, also Algorithms help seismologists
Scientisist hope that in the future supercomputers will predict earthquakes, this will allow people to preare from them
Earthquake is a natural disaster that damage buildings, shake the floor violently and sometimes the buildings colapse
Medical discovery
DNA
Led to many important medical discoveries
Scientisists hope that in the future there will be DNA computers
Large amount of data
A microscope computer is made to repair cells
Millions of calculations
Computer model medicine
Develope new drogs and otjer treatments
Predict posible bad effects
Predict effect of new treatments
Help Doctors
Animal and Human testing
Test medicine on animal is cruel, doctors would like to test drugs in computers than in animals and humans
Drugs are test first on animals than in humans
Clinical trial
Tested on small groups of humans
can be dangerous
