Can the Ps3, Ps2 incompatibility issue be resolved in an update?

I have a PS3 and I'm SO disappointed that you are unable to play a ps2 game. I have realized that the sony company removed the part of the playstation, its called a BC I think, but I don't know what it means. Apparently they removed it because they thought people would keep buying PS2 games instead of buying ps3 games, so they removed it. That sounds a little bit ignorant to remove it like that when they could just have kept it, don't you think. Anyway, I don't know if the BC is a physical component or a virtual one, I was wondering: "could I make my PS3 play PS2 games if I get an update".
Please give ANY answer

BC simply means backward compatibility; the ability for one piece of hardware to play software designed for an eariler version of the same hardware line.

The early PS3s were able to play PS2 games because they basically had an entire PS2 in them. However, this added about $100 to the manufacturing cost of the PS3, and the high price tag ($500-$600, depending on the model) was the main complaint against it. Later, Sony developed a PS3 program that could emulate the PS2 Central Processing Unit (CPU), so they put that into the early 80GB models and removed the CPU. This, along with other cost reductions, let them drop the price by $100. Then they decided that the PS3's game library was large enoguh to stand on its own, and removed the Graphics Procissing Unit (GPU) of the PS2 from the PS3, allowing for another $100 price drop. They never replaced this with an emulator, and several high-quality tech sites like Endgadget reported that the hardware in the PS3 is so dramatically different in design that it cannot properly emulate the PS2's GPU.

It's not that they removed it for the sake of stopping PS2 gameplay. It's that they removed the hardware to do it in order to make the price far more palatable, and were unable to emulate it.
