Re: LT Script Engine

with dependency mapping all that caching would me much easier, since you can track which scripts you have to re-hash when someone changes pi() without having to search through the whole script but only its dependency map... Would the simple answer not be to just delete all the hashes if you change ...

Re: Heisenberg Drive

my educated guess is that we will at least get another 200x density increase from graphene electronics. how would you manage that? The problem is not that we cannot increase the transistor density, the problem is that they start interfering with each other. so there is literally a maximum number yo...

Re: Heisenberg Drive

Your whole reasoning is based on 2 assumptions: 1) atoms only can be moved by a distance the same as their diameter 2) We will still be using silicon chips in the future Both these assumptions can be wrong 1)Why only with a distance equal to their diameter? 2)Quantum computing would vastly increase...

Re: Heisenberg Drive

Kool. Lets then plug this into the calculation. 2.34*10 -10 * 4.45*10 30 / 5*10 22 = 2.08*10 -2 m/s = 0.0208 m/s That still doesn't even get to 1 m/s for only the processor. How is this going to be sufficient for the calculations for the entire ship to get to 100 m/s My calculations are only for te...

Re: Heisenberg Drive

Im basing this off the latest nVidia single-gpu whichs performance i know (and that is abou half a year old, most likely even older). We have a processor with 3TFLOP, 3E12 flop. this processor runs at about 1GHz (it surely uses higher frequencies on some internal parts but i assume they scale analo...

Re: Heisenberg Drive

And where is your "hard line" where a proton stops behaving like a subatomic particle? A hydrogen atom is nothing more than 2 subatomic particles coincidentally being close to each other. That they are interacting with each other does not change that they behave like subatomic particles. I don't be...

wheres the difference between a hydrogen nucleus and a proton?
nothing. but a hydrogen atom is not the same as a proton. And a hydrogen molecule is not the same either.

Re: Heisenberg Drive

All this arguing is slightly irrelevant to my original question. There is one thing that has been bugging me for a bit and that is that even if I give way that the H-Drive is possible there is no way it can generate anywhere near useful speeds. Let me explain. Lets assume we are suing a pure silicon...

Re: Heisenberg Drive

Just to make things clear atoms don't have probability waves. they are always exactly where we expect them to be. Wrong. Protons and neutrons are as propabilistic quantum objects as electrons are. You should maybe take a read about quantum field theory So if atom follow quantum mechanics how are th...

Re: Heisenberg Drive

... And non of that is relevant for an Atom. (Yes I did take Chemistry as well.) All of this is relevant for an atom, as it follows the same basic laws. If you want do define an area where the atom is with 100.000% certainity you have to take the whole universe. Please show me proof of this. When h...

... And non of that is relevant for an Atom. (Yes I did take Chemistry as well.) The point is that Yes you can but that makes the calculation harder. to keep the calculations easy you limit the maximum distance you want to move with each jump.

Re: Heisenberg Drive

Why would an atom be limited to only being teleported by a distance equal to its diameter? It cannot be teleported at all! I am merely using the term teleport because that is basically what the H-Drive is doing. It is doing this teleportation using Heisenberg uncertainty principal. So it will move ...
