I was talking to Goldfinger on the CS:GO server and thought I should post this: Quantum Computing

[OG buckshot jr]

But seriously, how do you explain what we saw? What is the most logical explanation?

RE: Two posts above this one.

In all seriousness, what you witnessed may very well have been something extra-terrestrial. However, that doesn't mean Google "announced" it wants to take control of your brain by implanting a chip into it.

Camon now... Just.. camon.

I love 'conspiracies' more than anyone, and I've read shit that most people would blow off as bullshit. I'm a truth-seeker, but my research is limited to online, and there's a shit-tonne of misinformation, and we really have fuck all to prove it. So until then, you and I can only speculate.

But the Google shit.... camon now... lol

This is the premise of the game Syndicate and Syndicate Wars by Bullfrog. A world where everyone has chips implanted, chips that are basically your cell phone, your pc, google glasses features directly sent to your brain. In the game Syndicate you play a corporation that has 4 cyborgs under your command. You send them out to areas for various different missions, but one of them is going around to ordinary citizens and reprogramming their chips so it influences them to be sympathetic to your corporation. It's a very interesting premise, and it isn't very far from becoming a reality.

Start watching at 35:35

This is the near future according to Michio Kaku, probably the top Theoretical Physicist in the nation, near future being 5, 10, 15 years and the video is already 4 years old...

 

[OG buckshot jr]

Let me tell you something about Michio Kaku and the world of theoretical physics. It's, well, THEORY. That's like saying someone's the best weatherman - a.k.a. 'The Best Guessor" (yes I know guessor isn't a word, but it fits, fuck the mangled English Lexicon).

My point here, is that anyone can go on and on about guessing what's going to happen, or what might happen. The only reason this bastard's noted is because of his gay-ass tv show on National Geographic.

 

[Smurf Eater]

If you listen and watch the video, they're not guessing about this happening, they're in the process of developing it.

I just think you're a touch gullible, mate. There's a lot of videos on a lot of things. How about Rosswell lol

 

[Smurf Eater]

They're already using chips for patients that have had seizures or have been paralyzed to restore functions to certain. Gullible? I think you're not being realistic. What about Rosswell? I have no clue, haven't been there, don't care much about it.

I guess you don't believe the fact that some of Google's top engineers believe they'll be able to download our consciousness and make us immortal in 32 years like they recently announced. Or maybe that Russian scientists, who are currently receiving hundreds of billions of dollars from Billionaires to do the same thing in about the same time. I think you're very short-sighted when it comes to technology and advancements. You realize that there was a flying car back in the 1960's but if failed it's test and crashed. After reading that you are probably going to say, oh they would've never allowed flying cars, but in fact, the FAA was designed to handle the amount of cars we all have today as flying vehicles, they truly believed that we would all be using them now, and we would have, had that test flight not been a disaster. But guess what, someone actually designed a small 2 person car that can fly and it's legal in the United States, as it always has been, because we prepared for such things back in the 60's.

You realize that we, as well as China have teleportation already? China was able to transport a few molecules the distance of about 60 km. They hope that computer processing power will be strong enough in about 10 years, that they can transport a whole orange.

 

[Smurf Eater]

You also realize that scientists were able to have effect change cause, as in cause and effect, as in they actually sent information back in time here in the United States?

 

[Smurf Eater]

What you should also realize, is that if there are major breakthroughs in power production, that these teleporters can actually be used as replicators, as in Star Trek TNG.

Smurf Eater, exercise this thought experiment:

Person A absorbs information through sensory input, and based upon various factors determines their attitude / beliefs / assumptions about said information. Person A uses the Law of noncontradiction, Deduction, Abduction, Induction, et cetera conclude what's true, what's isn't, and so on. Person A's future experiences refine these beliefs while maintaining an element of consistency, which inherently adds bias and perspective.

Person B has followed the same procedure as Person A, however Person B's fundamental assumptions differ. Person A insists that Person B's arguments are invalid and incorrect, because according to Person A's perspective, assumptions, facts, et cetera, Person B's arguments are impossible. Person B argues the same against Person A.

If both persons are convinced the other is incorrect, and if all fundamental 'facts' can be distilled into assumptions of philosophical nature (such as if everyone sees the world differently, how can there be a true world), why does Person A or Person B (or that other annoying guy dropping in irritating arguments, Person C) believe that they're absolutely correct in their conclusions and reject all other arguments?

 

[Smurf Eater]

My argument is that the only thing that stops us from creating what we think is skepticism of possibility, while we live in a Universe where anything is possible, as long as we put our minds to it.

Agreed, but I don't think doubting the validity and legitimacy of various online articles, announcements, or predictions of notable experts is skepticism of possibility.

 

[$alvador]

we live in a Universe where anything is possible, as long as we put our minds to it.

Caveat: anything is possible on an infinite timeline. in our present reality, for all intents and purposes, very little is possible. quantum mechanics has been an established field for a century, and yet the brightest physicists from all around the world are still playing with primitive toys like the LHC, which has produced petabytes of data that may serve to strengthen existing quantum mechanical theories (as more data provides more opportunity for statistical correlation) but has yet to yield, if it even can, any further insight.

So that's basically the underlying mechanics of the world around us still unexplained. Basically right now the whole field of quantum mechanics and whatever Michio, smart as he is, is talking about is vaporware. 100 years in the making and still just theories, so keep that in mind when reading about "quantum computing". Even the theories are more metaphysical than actual physics so you could literally say it's all bullshit and nobody really has the right to disagree, but we kind of just agree anyway because the people coming up with the theories are supposedly SUPER SMART for being able to grasp abstract concepts and coming up with even more abstract concepts to jerk each other off with.

I'll avoid typing an essay about Einstein's general and special relativity (proven with each trip to space to be less theory and more fact) but let's just say it explains that FTL (faster-than-light) travel, with our current understanding, is just not possible.

So, unfortunately, in our lifetimes we're fucked on the space race for sure and likely fucked also on coming any closer to grasping quantum mechanics. Our most promising branch of science right now is biology because we can actually understand what's going on there, and if you compare any given biology journal to any given physics journal I'm sure you'll agree that there's a lot more useful stream of new knowledge coming out of the biology field than in the other scientific disciplines.

TL;DR version: Intel inside your cranium in your lifetime: yes, teleportation of humans: no.

 

[OG buckshot jr]

Not to mention teleportation will never exist. Earth's 'teleportation' consists of reading, and rebuilding the same [as similar as we can] particle structure on the other end. So although the results (if they ever come to fruition) appear to be the same, the method is way off.

 

[copper]

So, teleportation consists of a clone -> murder sequence?

As someone actively involved in physics academia, I can tell you that teleportation does not exist like you think it does. The only "teleportation" which exists today is that of spin entanglement. What it means is that you can separate two particles a large distance apart. You can then perform an experiment on one of the particles and learn its state (its spin). Instantly upon knowing this particles state, you know the other particles state. What makes this special is that you do not know which state the particles are in prior to making the measurement, hence it appears that information has travelled instantly from far away (ie. faster than light).

Unfortunately, this does not allow for any useful form of information "teleportation". It does allow for the production of quantum computers and quantum encryption!
