Molecular chip promises much

[jj]

Hewlett-Packard researchers have created a chip using molecular technology that could lead to faster and bigger computer memory.

I heard it could massage both your feets,
*simultaniously*.

Cool is this gonna be the dawning of computers so powerful that they wont need us.


Imagine if you could create a biological computer that contained an infinate number of worlds, and you could give it a chain of events that are happening in our world - and this computer would then go away and set the chain of events off in all of its worlds - altering a slight variable in each one.

It would then return a result and/or solution within seconds that is most preferable depending on what outcome you would most prefer.

You wanna see if you could win that war - you wanna see if you can iradicate starvation - you wanna see what the effects of global warming over 2000 years would be. It could do it!

But then, in its use you have a whole world of moral issues to deal with... but perhaps this machine could come up with the answers for you, and thus make us obsolete.

We become insignificant and end up sticking our heads in a bucket to live out our days....

[Bobsonsirjonny]

Doh!... just given away an idea I had for a film script. but to be honest I've had it for a while and I dont know what to do with it. I cant write for toffee, but I could animate it. :-)

[Bobsonsirjonny]

But then if we are obsolete, would the machine not become obsolete as we are its masters.


But then...  Perhaps the computer would only then exist to support the life on its infinate number of worlds?

But its more interesting the guys who would makes such a machine - what would be in there heads - and how this machine, and things would get out of control.

Hmmmm..... :-)

[Bobsonsirjonny]

You could create any world in theory... You could destroy any world. You could key in War on Iraq - and it would churn out all the possibilities. Millions in some of the worlds would die - less in others....


Man something could be done with this. Someone who can write - write it. We'll pitch to a few networks... and make it :-)

The problem with nano-miniaturisation is that the laws of physics get more chaotic the smaller you go. At the atomic level quantum physics reigns, and we don't really understand it very well - probably because its so freakishly weird. Anyone read the article on the same site about nanorobots that are so small that engines modeled for them using normal physics would run backwards? :-D

[Bobsonsirjonny]

cool! and they could fuse that with the DNA that they think is from Einstein - but isnt,  and create some weird wonderful monster by mistake!

I'm thinking up merchandising.... :-D

[Bobsonsirjonny]

but if they run backwards - couldnt they just go everywhere in reverse, and pretend that they are going forwards?

They need not be slow. I mean the only reason why you cant hit a ton ten in reverse is cos of the way the engine has been tuned - the gear box etc and the what do you call it bit that conects to the bit wot turns the wheels....


But then why would you want something speeding round your body at a ton ten... and surely this is illogical cos its doing the opposite of what you want it to do. And computers are mearly just logic :-P


But you could have night vision. You could become you favourite comic book character. I'll take Batmans Brains and Wolverines mutant powers - plus his skeleton :-)

Bobsonsirjonny is you a Prophet?  Talking about the Bucket Headed One?  Where is He?

[Elektro]

That chip promised me everything...

But delivered nothing...

So screw him!!!

 :-D  :-D

It would then return a result and/or solution within seconds that is most preferable depending on what outcome you would most prefer.

The answer is 42 !!

See you in the restaurant at the END of the galaxy   :-o


 :-D

[Bobsonsirjonny]

@ artman


lol - perhaps ;-)



@ The_Editor

Damn... Oh well, I guess its all been done before :-)

[whabang]

LOL @ Bobson :-D

I like the forty two quote, when I showed this news tory to my mate the first thing he said was, so prehaps the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy could become a reality.
