Citizenschallenge-v.3 replied to the topic What's all this about a quantum computing breathrough? in the forum Science and Technology 5 years, 3 months ago
Quantum computing, about the only thing wilder than CERN to wrap one’s head around. I’ve read a few articles but can’t comprehend the thing at all.
So lets take a moment to delve into the doubting mind.
I keep hearing about all it can do, but then when they get to the how, it always seems like a crazy black box. I mean like silicon m…[Read more]

Then, who knows what can happen?
So long as you feed the computer.

the wires stop humming

That’s pretty scary too. eh?

As for what’s possible and what’s not, all we need to do is look at the…[Read more]

Thanks.
Maybe this is clearer.
Thank you for taking the time to send me your email. Not being of the trade, I’ll admit your invitation for a “pitch” caught me flat footed and I needed to mull it over for a few days.

Okay, thank you, it makes sense.
But you know I mean way more than that. Though any grammatical corrections are always much appreciated.
How does it flow? What’s the impression it gives you? Does it leave you clearly understanding what I’m thinking? Is it coherent, rational? Does it sell? 😉

I don’t know where you get this idea but the president does not have the authority to issue mandates that dissolve the government.
