Frontiers in Science talk Wednesday

Soon we may have supercomputers in our homes powerful enough to predict at least some aspects of the future, and our kids already may own the ancestors of these crystal balls.

So says a Laboratory computer scientist who will talk about predicting the future in public lectures in Española and Taos.

Andy White of the Laboratory's Computer and Computational Science (CCS) Division will present "A History of Predicting the Future: Earth, Wind, Fire and Computers" at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, at the Center for the Arts Theater at Northern New Mexico Community College in Española. White's talk is part of the Laboratory's Frontiers in Science lecture series.

The final lecture is at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, at the Taos Convention Center.

The Frontiers in Science Public Lecture Series is in an effort by Laboratory researchers to inform neighboring communities about the broad range of scientific and engineering research at the Laboratory.
