Not a bad way to be. Nothing wrong with having something nice and REALLY nothing wrong with having something nice and sharing it with others.

I think it is that I don’t look at this in the terms of relativity. Some good comments here that have made me a bit more enlightened.

While no astrophysicist I am smart enough to get it when pointed in the right direction.

See that is where my thinking is off. The FTL being time travel hits home.

Thanks man.

Thanks man. That’s what I love about this sub. You can learn things without too much hate. Haha.

Except that we don’t even know where it is now. Or IF it even is.

For sure. But as the distances get big. I mean space big your chances of things being way different than your prediction get way bigger.

Not like Joe Montana leading Jerry Rice for a touchdown big. Or even is leading mars for a River landing big.

Like really really big.

The whole “you step back through the worm hole and you will still see it” is just so awesome.

I think about space and space travel all the time and I just have to laugh.

It is ssssssooooooo big. Man we are insignificant. Hah.

Well they could break existing encryption almost instantly. But they will also be able to make algorithms that are completely unbreakable.

Then interesting thing for me will be that once they surpass normal supercomputers (they are not faster yet. About one year away) there will be a time that certain folks can crack what the masses are using very easily.

The first real use will be in big data and AI. You won’t see much of a benefit but google and Amazon will know even more about you. Lol.

After that it will start solving some of the really hard physics issues and with that we may see real advances in the space race and then eventually consumer goods.

Gonna be a good 20 years until we see things hit mainstream but once it does. Look out.

Good point. I think that quantum computing will be an absolute game changer in technology once it is more mainstream.

Think of the problems we are unable to solve today. They will take seconds to solve.

“Quantum computing is a new generation of technology that involves a type of computer 158 million times faster than the most sophisticated supercomputer we have in the world today. It is a device so powerful that it could do in four minutes what it would take a traditional supercomputer 10,000 years to accomplish”
