Re: Quantum Computing

In the very early days of radio some inventors weren't quite sure how their invention worked;   They just happened to hit on the right idea through trial and error.

 

Until somebody can explain to me how a qbit works, I am extremely skeptical.  They may be able to come up with nifty devices on a scale smaller than a calculator, but it might be decades before somebody figures out how to make this useful.

 

This reminds me of a really old joke where a company invents a computer that is a billion times faster but some idiot asks if it will run Windows.

 

Best wishes,

As a result, consumers don't know that taking megavitamins could increase their risk of cancer and heart disease and shorten their lives; they don't know that they have been suffering too much of a good thing for too long.
