2013 Noble Prize Goes To......

2013 Noble goes to 3 chemists who where able to  predict chemical reactions and model them on a computer.Martin Karplus of Harvard University and the Universite de Strasbourg in France; Michael Levitt of the Stanford University School of Medicine and Arieh Warshel of the University of Southern California these three scientists who used a lot of computer power to show for example who an electron from the catalyst of an enzyme can jump from chemists don't only have to experiment in real life they can also experiment in cyberspace as well. This can help many other pharmacutical companies when they are making drugs and other substances to help the sick. As technology is growing everything is being turned into some type of computerized mechanism that makes things a lot faster. This could be both bad and good. Good because it can help with many problems such as finding a cure for a so far uncurable disease like cancer, but it can also be bad because what if one da someone creates a completly intelligent mechanism and the take over the world that would be so bad. But anyway for now it should help in scientific research.
