Quantive Computing. Right now in Physics, there is a revolution of thought that is taking place. Imagine how everybody has grown up to believe the basic laws of Pysics. We thow an apple up, GET OUT THE WAY!!!! it has to come down. Two cars hitting each other causes lots and lots of bad days. You get the idea. Now think, scientific proof exists that completely takes everything you thought you knew about the basics and throw it out of the window. Atoms being in two places at once. The same atom is here AND there. When you observe an atom go to two slits in a sheet you only see one, if unobserved it goes through both holes at the same time. There is probly like 3 people on this planet that understands this completely.
That takes me to Quantive Computing. Being able to run two process at once. You might think, 'oh, my computer can make more than two processes at once', false. Anything on a computer is going to read 1 or 0, yes or no, or in realistic literal terms: on or off. Quantive Computing is 1 AND 0, on AND off. No matter how fast you think your computer is, Quantive Computers are going to always be super stoopid crazy oh wow look at them go fast.
I think I managed to sum up Quantive Computing. I wanted to talk about that because I read an article recently that got me excited for the future of Quantum Physics. It has been awhile since I heard anything big on Quantum Computers. Scientists understand the theory enough to start running simulations. Less than 80 years ago scientists were just making the first theories on Quantum Physics. Now we stand at the possibility to manipulate the basic building blocks of the whole universe. We are not going to be able to travel the heavens anytime soon, but every study is showing that the possibilites are there, Quantum Physics is the only thing that could probly take us there(as far as we know).
Just a thought to get the brain moving!!!
The article is about how scientists are using the open-source community to aide in the research. The artile does give resources for further study into the subject. No cats were harmed in the development of this blog. Thank you.
