The following text is copied directly from Wikipedia for testing purpose only:
Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years. Moore's law is an observation and projection of a historical trend. Rather than a law of physics, it is an empirical relationship linked to gains from experience in production.
The Theoretical Implication of Moore's Law
Moore's Law is probably the first law that directly relates experimental data to industrial values of spacetime across all scales. Although, it has been challenged that the semi-conductor industry will not be able to continue deliver the doubling of transistor density indefinitely, but the basic notion of mapping the ability to massively coordinate devices at smaller physical scales has direct societal and economical implications is still valid.
