ooow, creepy stuff Sandy. It just always seemed possible to me that a ship of some sort could have crashed. Some of you guys know that vacuum tubes are my hobby (read obsession), and I can actually take one apart, and it makes sense to me how it can move electrons in a controlled way. When I look at a mini micro chip though, I can't for the life of me understand how there can be 10,000 (or more) vacuum tubes inside that tiny piece of sand. I've never had anyone be able to explain in the simplest terms how chips work. Transistors even make a "little" sense to me, but chips don't. If you look at one closely under magnification, there is barely enough surface area to attach all the connections, much less have room left over for anything else. The rube here though, is how would they reverse engineer something like that? I'm really hoping this topic takes off, and that I can get some understanding of these technological marvels.
