Good to hear I am not the only one with this idea. Not that it means it is less crazy this way but still. :) I sense this question has not been taken seriously, possibly because I reached into something philosophical to which physics does not have an answer, making it also a bit off topic...
So it is true that calculations can not be quantified in the energy equation. Doesn't this imply it is possible to do the same calculations with approaching to zero energy, or even more extreme, that calculations are not needed at all ie. all possible results are simultaneously present in the...
I thought mine was a quite innocent question, but now it seems I managed to get myself into some rather complicated theories. :I
But from what I read on this link, and on one that followed there about reversible computing, it seems like my original thinking was justified. How I understand it...
Interesting but I think you have just shifted my question from computer processing to brain processing and that my original question still holds. In case of brain processing, is the chemical energy inputted equal to heat dissipated, or is there another component in the output which describes the...
But we still can "handle" numbers greater than this number. I was entertaining the idea that this fact means either we are bigger than the universe, or universe is indeed infinite. Otherwise it would not make sense for us to be able to grasp it. Whatever you can fully understand is by definition...
Another possibly unusual question from me, may also enter in the realms of philosophy or math, but I do not think that physics is a wrong place for it.
It is possible to find information about size of the universe and number of atoms in it and such. We as humans can imagine numbers of...
Hi all,
This question has been intriguing me for a long time and now that I discovered this forum I thought it is a good place to ask.
Take a typical CPU. To operate it draws energy from the power supply, does some computation and emits heat. Since state of energy can only be transformed...
