Google Chromium

chromium_logoChromium is a Google Project where users and developers will pave the way for a safer, faster, and more stable experience for all Internet users. Chromium browser is open-source project and any developer can contribute to its source code. It is based on the simple concept that Google’s Chrome is based on Chromium’s codebase, while Chromium serves as Chrome’s open-source project.Unfortunately, Chromium is not available natively for Mac or Linux systems, but Chromium is available for build and a CrossOver Chromium is also available. CrossOver is a software hat runs on Wine, which is a free software application that allows Mac or Linux (Unix-like systems) to run Windows programs. With CrossOver Chromium, Linux and Mac users will be able to use Chromium on their systems. CrossOver simply spares you the trouble of building Google Chromium on your Mac or Linux system.

Although if you’re feeling very adventurous, you can always build Chromium with Google’s Build instructions.

Building Chromium:

Prerequisites Linux: Though Chromium doesn’t support every Linux distribution, Google has tried to make the prerequisites as basic as possible.

Chromium currently runs 32 bit program, and there has been reported problems with Linux 64-bit users.

For more prerequisites, check out Google’s Linux Build Requirements.

Prerequisites Mac: There are two applications available for Mac. Choosing one depends on the level of involvement you want to put into Chromium.

Intel Mac running Leopard (Chromium does not fully function in Snow Leopard)

XCode 3.1.2 and gclient are both needed. Both can be downloaded for free. Find out more on Google’s Mac Build instructions.

Besides building your own Chromium onto your Linux or Mac, the closest thing to a native system available to day is running Chromium under Wine.

A fully native system for all Unix-like operating systems is under work but will not be available for a long time. Google developers state that you shouldn’t wait days but more like months.

DrawBacks

Chromium is not a browser to replace your default browser! Chromium is an open source program for Chrome to improve its functions and to make the user-experience the best that it can be. This is not browser to do heavy surfing, but it functions as a fun way of putting your own 2 cents in on how you think the internet browser should be run. Also, Chromium does not receive security updates. This is the one the main differences between open source Chromium and other commercial browsers. Chromium updates involve a series of new builds and upstream updates. Chromium is only for advanced web users and expert coders and is a great way to contribute your services. But unless you are well versed in web development, do not go with Chromium. Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera are much more commercial and usable browsers for the average web surfer. Chromium lacks many browser features. There is no expansion service, such as plug-ins. Only flash and quicktime work properly on Chromium. Chromium does not fully support 64-bit architectures.

Contributing to Chromium

There are numerous ways of helping the Chromium project. The easiest way is simply using Chromium and submitting comments to the discussion groups that Google has set up. Other ways range from finding bugs and reporting them, filing bug reports (telling Google exactly what the problem is and where), and even submitting your own patches for these bugs.

Find more about Chromium

Chromium has an up-to-date Blog that has recently announced a new FTP Implementation! There also 2 major Discussion Groups available for Announcements and Discussion. Announcements are usually for letting users know about new builds and updates. Discussion is much more high-volume and anyone can subscribe and join in numerous topics. Topics range from design, feature improvement, questions, coding, and many others. There is also an “Issues” list that shows a list of problems and bugs that users have run into.

The Black Holes and parallel universes

Note: This is the first time I am writing on a such a topic and so the work is totally based on personal beliefs and thoughts on the unproven theories and has nothing to do with what the reality may be and does not intend to harm anyones thoughts. The idea is absolutely original and has nothing to do with previous findings by anyone. But the comments and suggestions are always appreciated.

Firstly What is a black hole?

Classically Black hole is considered to be a region in space having infinite gravity and does not allow anything to pass through it not even photons(ie. light).It is believed to have been formed by the death of a star. Many black hoes have been discovered so far and scientists expect them to be trillions in count. For more on black holes,refer to the wikipedia page.

But this is not what adds to the mystery. While there are a lot of theories which try to explain what happens inside the black holes,there is one common viewpoint- THE LAWS OF PHYSICS DO NOT HOLD INSIDE BLACK HOLES. This also gives rise to the space time continuum. This very fact leads to a number of theories and contradictions and has lead to various debates since the 1960s The well known physicist Mr. Stephen Hawkins proposed the fact that the black holes are not just eating up everything that comes near them but they are also radiating out everything they consume and are expected to die out when the radiate everything. This proposal lead to a long debate until after 30 years of him publishing this work,he himself came out to contradict it. Now he proposes that the event horizon. exists and the black hole wraps up itself which means that the thing going into the black hole can actually come back!But there is a lot to be proven.

Parallel universes

Parallel universes are possible set of multiple universes which may exist and comprise of all the space and time that may exist. Each of the universes exist with a time differences of one quanta of time. These have been many theories to support the concept of parallel universes and even more to turn it down. But the fact that if it exists we are currently in one of those universes and traveling between them ar a high speed. Also if one believes that such a thing exists, he has to believe in destiny (like “everything is planned!”) since another instance of him in the future has already seen the future while the instances of the past are moving towards the present.

Now here is one possibility that I propose:

The two things Black holes and Parallel universes have something more in common apart from the fact that we don’t know much about both. The black holes are actually connecting the parts of parallel universes. Conceder the fact that a black hole has an event horizon and is not just consuming the matter but also radiating it out at the same pace, but we can experience only one which is the inward flow. This is because the outward flow is into the next parallel universe which it a quanta of time ahead of us. Therefore the dimension of time which has long been a mystery can be understood as a transition between the 2 parallel universes connected with a black hole. Which also means that we are a part of big black hole impact space and are continuously moving with a very high speed. The big black hole covered at the center of our milky way galaxy maybe the one which is helping us move and is responsible for our time.

This also leads to the fact that since the dimension of time is maintained by the black hole,there is a direct relationship between the intensity of the black hole and the speed of time in that space which it is helping to move.

Yet another conclusion that can be driven from this fact can be that the places which are out of the impact area of any of the black holes have NO TIME. The no time thing may sound weird but it can be explained as follows. Consider time to be a dimension just like height,width and length. So we are in a 4 dimensional worlds rather than 3 but there are theories(m theory and string theory) which say there are 11 dimensions. But for now consider 4 dimensions. Now suppose a world exists on your table which has no height dimension. The people in that world live in 2D space and know time. Suddenly you put a book on the table,this will be a completely new and unexplainable for the people in that 2D world ,similarly there may be dimension in the universe which may not be visible to us but they do exist. So an there would probably be places with a missing time dimension but still existing in all the universes looking lifeless and dead.

Time Travels:Using this concept we can explain the logic behind the time travels also. It has long been proved that time travel is possible if we can move at a speed more that light but there has been no proof of that fact. According to my concept,at each point,not only the particle is into the influence of just one black hole but also the black holes which exist in the future,that is at an interval of a some parallel universes. So,it the particle would travel at a speed grater than light it would cross the impact area of the current black hole and land into the impact area of the black hole of the future and will be able to jump through some parallel universes and land into future.

In the end all that can be said is that no conclusion can be drawn in the world of a million possibilities but none of the possibilities can be totally denied. All we can hope is that one day we will have the answers to life. Until then the search for truth continues.
