Summary
This document appears to be page 19 from a book or presentation regarding computer science and physics. It explains scientific notation, orders of magnitude, and Moore's Law. It features a graph titled 'Moore's Law Extended by Ray Kurzweil' showing the exponential growth of computing from 1900 to 2010. The document bears the Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015709, indicating it was part of evidence gathered during the House Oversight Committee's investigation, likely reflecting Epstein's interests in science and futurism.

To give you some idea of how Moore’s Law works, the graph shows growth in computing power over time; the y-axis is a logarithmic plot using engineering notation. Because the growth is exponential we rapidly end up with very large numbers. Scientists use a special notation to cope with these large and small numbers. In scientific notation a number is written out in a compact form. For example, three hundred can be written as 3.0 × 10². To expand it back to a regular number you move the decimal point 3.0 two spots to the right, making the number 300.0. A similar technique is used for small numbers. To expand 3.0 × 10⁻² move the decimal point 2 points to the left, giving 0.03. Why use scientific notation? Well, once the numbers get large they would no longer fit on a page! We can shorten the representation of numbers even further by dropping the ‘3.0 ×’ part and just looking at the order of magnitude. The number 10⁸⁰, one with eighty zeroes after it, is the number of atoms in the Earth, and 10¹²⁰ the number of particles in the known Universe. 10⁻⁴³ meters is the ‘plank number’, believed to be the smallest dimension you can have, and 10¹⁰⁰ is called a googol, named by Milton Sirotta, the
