And heres more on Quantum Computers, and what they could do for us.

Wow, imagine what this could mean for gaming a decade or two down the road. *drools*

Interesting. I cant quite grasp the meaning of that (arresting an atom and stuff) but I understand where we can get with that. Faster, reliable computers - graphic processors, complexity on textures to a level never seen, speed, speed, speed... oh my.

I can barely wait for the future.

I don't understand how it can old 0 and 1 simultaneously...

And be in two places at once so long as you aren't looking at it

Seems more philosophy than science. Still, amazing possibilites.

Believe me Obsidian: Quantum phisics is indeed a mistery. I've been trying to enlight myself about that but you seem to need to study a lot. On the "Elegant Universe" Alan Green (or something) tries to explain modern physics theories to the peasants such as me. Damn, its hard to comprehend! I used to think economics was hard enough, but that thing is challenging.

I bought a book about it, and its hard to understand.

@ Obsidian; The calculations are actually done in a paralell universe, split from our own by decoherence. Therefore it can hold more than one thing in the same spot. Confusing.

I hope Xandax sees this, with him being a programmer and all.
