Not because their prior tools or experience are helpful (though dealing with the LHC data set can't hurt!) but because its exactly the kind of field that be advanced by a good combination of theory and hard nosed practicality. In fact if I were a physics Ph.D. I'd probably think Dave Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506030153326411733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-80731790952284688132009-10-12T12:19:56.297-04:002009-10-12T12:19:56.297-04:00"...Yottabytes (1024 Bytes)..."

With just a little expertise built into your system, you'll be able to brute force a lot of problems. Can't even get someone in authority to sign off on that. Solutions have to be deterministic, not speculative.David Coughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859839245975431814noreply@blogger.com
