I kind of do, but thinking quantumly makes me dizzy.

You have two thoughts at once?

I did do a little more looking, which stopped the particles dead. Apparently I'm destroying the universe by doing so.

Anyway who cares It's all about building faster computers, way more important that the universe lol. Already they're running out of miniaturization, pretty soon 'they' think the transistors will be so small they'll run into quantum problems, like matter moving spontaneously through solid matter screwing up the computations (quantum tunneling, if I got that right).

It's so mysterious and downright odd. As Clarke said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Not only will the quantum computers stop working if the chips are observed, they will not 'know' how they got the answer in the first place.

More magic stuff for the wall street boys.

They taught a program how to dither and obfuscate?

In other news...check this one out. Monkey brains, yum.

I assume we could now try something equivalent to a million monkeys on a million typewriters, and see how long it took a Shakespere play to show up?

Monkeys are more interested in selfies.
