Uses of the Weizac
The WEIZAC was used to study problems like worldwide chages in tide, and it took hundreds of hours to to any problem. The computer found out that there was a point in the south Atlantic at which the tide doesn't change. The computer also calculated the relationship between a helium nucleus and its two electrons and yielded results that were experimentally confirmed by the Brookhaven National Laboratory (but no general solution exists for the "three body problem" of which this is a special case). The computer solved a problem to see how earthquakes worked and to test a theory about the internal structure of the earth.
