THE ROLE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN PHYSICS

Tomorrow’s future depend on today’s physics – Mark Jackson. Physics is the science of world. The world that consists of matter and energy. Matter in all its states, energy in all its forms. It has strong presence not only in all the other branches of science including medical, but also in economics and stock market trading. Physicists proposed and evolved various theories relating to variety of fields. Generally speaking radios (including WiFi) and amplifiers are analog, whereas computers, CDs and digital watches are digital. Analog electronics have been around since 20th turn of the century; digital electronics have flourished only in the last 50 years. Most any modern device (e.g.,”digital” television is in fact a blend of both analog and digital technologies. Digital electronics reaches its ultimate complexity (and hence useless) in microprocesors(e.g.,, the intel chip that powers most PCs). Designing microprocessor-based circuits requires both computer programming(often in assembler) and digital electronics.
