So the closer together elements on a chip are, the faster of motion of signals between them. theres something called moores law, named for gordon moore. they are getting to the point they can double the computer power of a computer chip every 18 months or so. and this is what really made the power explode in the 1980s. every 18 months these things were getting twice as good. >> you could get the whole computer on a chip. it was less expensive to manufacture. you had smaller which led to faster w...

Below the atom -- that is really what a computer chip is. >> that is right, because your phone is working because electrons are going through tiny microscopic circuits. we are able to provide the mathematics for that. when you hear an example like that and you see the budget that has been put forward by the administration where were proposing apparently to cut fundamental basic science research by something like 20 or 15%, you realize how incredibly shortsighted it is. because youre cutting out ...

About stuff below the atom. thats what the computer chip is. >> thats right. your phone is working because electrons are going through microscopic circuits. and we wouldnt be able to harness the motion of the electrons if we didnt understand the mathematics and how they behave. thats what quantum physics provides us. you hear an example like that and you hear the budget thats put forward by the e administration, where were proposing to cut scientific research by 15% or 20%, you realize how short...

This whole episode, it is the fact it looks like when you look at the classifications its not the super secret stuff. its older devices impacted. talked about how to use 3.5-inch floppy disk. maybe this is older stuff. somebody further down the food chain. >> you are going to see the newer stuff coming and some of it is creepy. the computer chip in a microwave in your kitchen when the door is open can be accessed wirelessly as a listening device. who is doing the accessing? the fbi needs to find...

A computer in it, a computer chip could be vulnerable to being taken out by line of sight from detonation above the earth. and theres a dispute about how much of the transformers, how many of them would be taken down by a nuclear detonation of a satellite in orbit. but i think quite a few. some authorities think fewer. >> and you say they have the ability to do this now or soon or -- because you say this is something that could. the scenario was pretty horrific. eventually over time because of t...

Smart fridge, smart washer and dryer, everything has a computer chip in it. >> tom: thats our people love the vizio, it talks to your google devices. you can say, and he made a joke, alexa turn on the -- alexa does communicate well with the vizio tv. it may be able or willing to give it up. >> it didnt freak me out, it will not bother me if they know what i watch on tv. it would bother me if they shared my internet search history. >> thats a bigger problem. >> some of this data is misleading, th...

Eisenhower in the 1950s following the alleged crash of an alien spacecraft in roswell, new mexico. some say eisenhower sought ways to communicate with aliens. he wanted to make a deal. >> eisenhower made the agreement with the aliens that they would get dna from us, and then they would get to abduct a certain number of people. >> he showed up five days later saying he had been captured but not harmed by creatures from outer space. >> we would get technology. after that, we suddenly had fiber opt...

As we all know, bomb signatures pretty easy in terms of sophisticated analysis done in a case like this. what do you make of the language from the united states using likely, possibly, the same were the brits. and then obviously a bigger step back from russia, and a full step back from egypt in terms of moving away from this. >> three points, fairly like, because they have a relationship with egypt. fairly indicative because they are leaking it or saying it. and as a result, they have something ...

Amtrak is expected to start charging for excess baggage, paying $20 for each extra bag and carry-on bag weighing more than 50 pounds will also be hit with a fee. am forecast officials say the fees were put in place to help preserve space on crowded trains and to help reduce safety concerns. as of today, merchants accepting credit and debt credit cards must use machines that accept cards with a computer chip. embedded chips are more secure than magnetic strips. banks are still in the process of...

By today, or else they will bear the cost of in he credit card fraud. so theres an incentive. you though, were all used to just swiping our credit cards with a magnetic strip like that. you could still do that. but the new way to ensure security is to insert your card with that computer chip up, and it will take about ten seconds or so. so dont forget to pull your card out when you leave. but a lot of people have a lot of questions. so we thought wed go through them one by one. question one. why...
