Thanks Stuart, that is a much better way of putting it.... -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Stuart McLachlan Sent: Tuesday, 17 April 2012 10:13 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] The coming in-memory database tipping point. - SQL Server Team Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs In this case, I don't think that "flawed" is the right word. "Simplistic" would be better. Newton's approach is a simplified model of reality, which matches observations within certain constraints. It is only beyond those constraints that newtonian laws break down. Einsteins approach is a more complex model, which widens those constraints. Current string/multiverse/brane approaches are more complex again and further widen those constraints. Each appears to be getting closer to reality, but whether we will ever get there is another matter. -- Stuart On 16 Apr 2012 at 23:59, Darryl Collins wrote: > *shrugs*.... I have to agree with you.
