Insane. Wonder if it's really worth the investment though. |

A system like this would definitely be worth the investment for physic experiments. A lot of the time the experiments have so many resultant numbers it would take anything but a supercomputer generations to extrapolate results. Even computers like the Roadrunner are primitive due to the limitations of how it stores memories. Take a human brain and study how it stores memories. Apply that to a computer. Then your cooking with gas... and you have a nice little Skynet. |
