Thats not to say useful quantum computers have actuallyarrivedyet.
Theyre still somewhere between a couple years and a couple centuries away.
Sorry for being so vague, but when youre dealing with quantum physics there arent yet many guarantees.
This is because physics is an incredibly complex and challenging field of study.
And the difficulty gets cranked up exponentially when you start adding theoretical and quantum to the research.
Were talking about physics at the very edge of reason.
That might sound pretty wacky, butthis story explains whyits not quite as out there as you might think.

Lets gopasttheedge of reason and into the realm of the speculative science.
This version of reality would render the concepts of space and time pointless.
Time would only exist as a construct by which we give meaning to our own observations.
And those observations would merely be the classical side-effects of existing in a quantum universe.
Everything that encompasses our entire universe may be nothing more than a brief hallucination triggered by a quantum vibration.
We dont believe it.
But thats the claim the researchers made.
you might read more about thathere.
Oh, and that Google quantum system the Chinese researchers referenced?
Yeah, it turns out it wasnt exactly the massive upgrade over classical supercomputers it waschalked up to beeither.
But, of course, we forgive Google for its marketing faux pas.
Talk about a eureka moment!
But there were even bigger things in the world of quantum physics than just advancing computer technology.
Basically, we cant explain where the pressure comes from.
You canread more herethough.
Still there were evenbiggerphilosophical questions in play over the course of 2021 when it came to interpreting physics research.
Are we incapable of finding evidence for God because were actually gods in our rights?
That might sound like philosophy, but there aresome pretty radical physics interpretationsbehind that assertion.
And, if we are gods, can we stop time?
Turns out, whether were just squishy mortal meatbags or actual deities,we actually can!
If none of those stories impress you, weve saved this one for last.
And not just regular boring immortality, butquantum immortality.
Plus, the underlying theories involving massive-scale entanglement are incredible read more here.
Seldom a day goes by where something incredible isnt happening in the world of physics research.
Luckily for you, Neural will be back in 2022 to help make sense of it all.
