So my Quantum physics, and interdimensional calculus, knowledge is non-existent. However this shit is super interesting and scary. Essentially this computer has bits that are super cooled. In the almost frozen state these bits are able to be in essentially 2 separate states at the same time. In theory its in 2 dimensions at the same time. They have 500 bits on this chip, so 500 dimensions.

Scary because I immediately jump to Terminators are coming and Sky Net is real. Look up paper clip theory.

Interesting because the amount of possibilities this could do for the world.

I didn't realize there was another paper clip theory. I ment this.

Paperclip Maximizer Theory

Essentially robots have no emotion or logic faults. If you put AI in charge it would destroy everything.

Yeah. I started reading yours and couldn't figure out where it was going. Never thought there might be another.
