If i buy all the individual parts that make a pc and shake them around in a box will i eventually get a PC...?

Question

and i mean a fully functioning PC that i dont have to tighten and nuts or screws and the dvd/cd rom works and the operating system is installed (i'll put the cds in the box)

oh by the way this is a dig at the big bang theory

Answer 1

No. You will get a box of broken PC parts.

And don't dig at theories that you clearly have no understanding of. Go and learn them instead.

Answer 2

There must be an event in great Omega that makes it possible, with odds tending towards 0, but there should be at least 1 instance where the shaking is just right and all the components fall together in the right place and voila, your PC is built and in working order. Regarding the transfer of the OS from the cds to the HDD, hmmm, I don't know, perhaps have a go at Quantum then ? But I'm sure you can build the thing - don't know how many shakes though - lol - good luck

Answer 3

you'll prolly most likely break some of your main pc parts eg mobo, memory, processor or graphics card so if you want to build a computer its pretty simple all you need is a complete barebone kit. Computer kits include all of the hardware (and sometimes the operating system software, as well) needed to build a complete computer. Because the components are pre-selected by the vendor, the planning and design stages of the computer-building project are eliminated, and the builder's experience will consist solely of assembling the computer and installing the operating system.

A barebones system is a variation on the kit concept. A barebones computer typically consists of a computer case with a power supply, motherboard, processor, and processor cooler already installed by the vendor. A wide variety of other combinations are also possible: some barebones systems come with just the case and the main motherboard, while other systems are virtually complete. In either case, you will need to obtain and install the parts that are not included in the barebones kit.

most needed parts for a pc are
Mobo (motherboard)
Processor (best are the AMD and not pentium)
Graphics card (depends what you use your computer for will depend on the type of card)
Memory (256mb, 512mb, 1gb, 2gb, 3gb, 4gb)
Hard Drive ( best are usually over 80gb
Case (anycase will do tho make sure you know your case siz or mobo size when you buy them so you know they fit)
Mouse & Key board (ball mouse can be used but laser mouse is most prefered and kind of key board will be ok)
Extra fan (optional for the speed of the computer remember the colder your CPU [Central processing unit]the better)
Monitor (any kind TFT are prolly best for games)
you will need a Windows Disk (Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows Beta seems there the newest

Answer 4

Well, I appreciate tbe dig but I feel the big bang theory is not like that at all. In fact, the multiplication of a single cell and its eventua development into a full grown baby is closer to the creation of universe. Initially the universe just kept expanding and later cooled down and started the differentiation to produce he variety which we see today. Putting all the individual parts and shaking them is not same as the big bang.

Answer 5

Possibly. Although you could be shaking for some time... its about as likely as a smashed glass leaping up off the floor, pulling itself together and landing back on the table - it doesn't happen very often, but doesn't violate any laws of physics.

As for big bang theory... yes we have a load of randomly distributed atoms at the beginning, but then laws such as gravity caused matter to clump into stars (there is no similar law impelling computer parts to form a computer) and so on.

Then evolution kicks in which starts from a not-too-unlikely simple, repoducing structure and can take you to organisms like us who are capable of putting a PC together in a more sensible fashion.

Answer 6

What were you thinking ? You must build the computers and tighten nuts, screws, and all of the things that made the computer up and running. You can't expect the parts do the assembly work by itself to become a PC by shaking the parts in a box. This isn't the future or instant PC makers !!

Answer 7

No. Get an infinite number of Monkeys to attempt to put the bits together and they will eventually produce a PC that works, and on it you will then be able to get them to write in Word, the Complete Works of Shakespeare.

But it may take a thousand years.......

Answer 8

No, pc components are different from componets of matter and molecules, macromolecules...etc. Not a very good analogy.

You seem to be suggesting it takes supernatural force for life to come about, but there are several religions with different gods. Which god made what?

There is only one science which evolves over time. Science is not perfect and can't explain every tiny details and that is what precisely make science SCIENCE. Science isn't perfect, but god is.

Religion on other hand is different. Science really don't try to falsefy religion although there are individuals who try that. That's not true nature of science.

Religion can't be used to falsefy science and science can't be used to falsefy religion. It's like trying to have baseball umpire officiate tennis game. Vice versa.

Two seem to contradict, but things in our world don't always coincide. There are contradictions within science itself as well.

If evolution seem imperfect then what about quantum mechanics which states you can only predict probability of events? in quantum mechanics atoms(subatomic paraticles) can be in 2 different states at once. Its like me sitting and standing same time. This 'superpostion' is experiementally proven.

Quantum mechanic is what allowed us to invent advanced electronics, semiconductors, silicon chips, lasers....etc. You wouldn't have your PC if it wasn't for this strange science.

Theres lot more to it than dumb analogy with random chances.

Answer 9

Only if you have an infinite number of boxes and an infinite number of monkeys to shake them. I would lend you mine but I have them working on the typewriters at the moment....

Answer 10

you will about the same time as a group of monkeys write the first draft of king lear!
