Hypothetically speaking, the presence of any god more than likely would disprove physicalism by disproving the foundation of which physicalism is built upon, that all things are physical, because an omnipresent being could not be physical, and their divine powers would also not be a physical property, but rather a supernatural power. The presence of supernatural people and events is riddled throughout almost every culture, with ancient Mayans portraying deities in art work and making human sacrifices
There has been a need for a non-breakable encryption algorithm desired after since the establishment of Cryptography was first matured. However, an algorithm is advised to be immune as long as there has not been found susceptibility through cryptanalysis. Symmetric-key block ciphers abide as the largest and critical aspect in many cryptographic systems. Independently, they add confidentiality. As a central construction block, their adaptability grants the manufacturing of pseudorandom stream ciphers
Mahatma Gandhi once said, “A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes”, preaching to his admirers a foolproof formula: think advantageously, their lives will become fruitful but think adversely, their lives will become fruitless. Gandhi’s exhortation, stating that the thoughts a person fills their head with will bleed into the type of lives they live, proves true in both the stories Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad, and Mountains Beyond Mountains, by Tracy Kidder. Kurtz
machine that were considered weak. Knowing that this vulnerability is present, the Bombe was able to decrypt the message with a method known as brute force. Brute forcing allowed the Bombe to “try out all the possibilities one after another” (Hodges, 1983). Through the long exploration of all the different possibilities, a code would be broken. Although brute force was just an aspect of what made the Bombe great, it still played a major role in the use of the Bombe. With the creation of the Bombe,
On the Development of Quantum Computers and Cryptography In 2010, the United States government, after accessing encrypted files by means of physical intervention, exposed ten Russian sleeper agents; in 2013, the United States government, without any means of physical intervention, surreptitiously collected and promptly decrypted many previously encrypted (Wood). Within this decade, concerns regarding the dubious security of contemporary cryptography will begin to emerge as the secrets of quantum
Our world today is selfish and greedy, therefore, not many would. Gandhi’s quote “It is impossible for those who consider themselves to be weak to apply this force. Only those who realize that there is something in man which is superior to the brute nature in him, and that the latter always yields to it, can effectively be passive resisters” states that it is not easy to be a passive resister (Gandhi 446). In most cases, it will be hard and suffering may be involved, which our society tries to
Father and Husband as Vampires in Plath’s Daddy The poem "Daddy" by Sylvia Plath concludes with the symbolic scene of the speaker killing her vampire father. On an obvious level this represents Plath's struggle to deal with the haunting influence of her own father who died when she was a little girl. However, as Mary G. DeJong points out, "Now that Plath's work is better known, ‘Daddy' is generally recognized as more than a confession of her personal feelings towards her father" (34-35)
in his own lawless ways./ Here was a piece of work, by god, a monster/ built like no mortal who ever supped on bread” (IX: 217). Polyphemus is depicted as a monster who has a “rumbling voice and monstrous hulk” (IX: 219), and later on, a “ruthless brute” (IX: 220). Immediately, the reader is confronted with an image of a giant, hulking monster devoid of any sense of culture. In addition, through the reference of humans eating bread, Odysseus appeals to the motif that has been established throughout
The world shows both aspects of an extremely liberal society, yet a relist one at the same time. There are aspects of both theories mixed throughout modern international relations. On one hand, many world leaders strive to live in a liberal world, because it is more cooperative and secure for all involved. The realist theory is much more realistic and able to fit society’s needs better. Since there are aspects of both liberalism and realism in modern international relations, not one theory outweighs
resultant to the rise of the nation state from approximately 1560 to 1700, culminating in a post-Westphalian Europe. The product of this military revolution, subsequently, was a shift from, “bellicose persons… [and] men acting in unison with plenty of brute ferocity but no effective control,” to a professionalized force, with the equivalent of a functioning institutional “central nervous system.” Fundamentally, the emergence of the modern state constituted a military revolution because it subordinated
