What happens if you throw a tennis ball at a brick wall?
What if you threw a hundred tennis balls at the wall at the same time?
What if you threw a thousand tennis balls?
Nothing.
No matter what you do, there’s no way tennis balls are going to break down that brick wall. Just like a brick wall, there are some problems that are so complex that there’s no way a traditional computer, no matter how fast, can solve them.
But what happens to the brick wall if you drive a tank through it?
A Review of “Super Strings and the Search for
The Theory Of Everything”
By Ayele Teklemariam
It is often a fancy idea and an interesting endeavor even to think of the theory of everything leave alone find one, yet it is an adventure in the search and indeed it was an adventure unlike any. It is an adventure in to the inner depth and in to the fundamentals of the beginning itself and the stuff it was and is made of and how.
The adventure to the past in search of the beginning is as much a time travel to the past as much it is a time travel to the future that it may be only at the end that we truly find the meaning and the true stuff it was made of, for when the end somewhat becomes the beginning the knowledge, the essence and being of the two will merge. At such a time, there shall be no matter but
We don’t need to understand quantum physics entirely in order to appreciate it. Even those who have devoted their lives to the study of the universe and its atomic structure will admit that many mysteries remain. Well, I love mysteries, so let’s set the scene for this one…
There’s a Big Bang. “Whoosh!” go all the molecules. Much swirling commences. Fast forward 12 billion years (give or take a billion) to present day. People all over the world watch sci-fi movies, read physics texts, attend harmonic convergence gatherings, study nanotechnology, and gaze at the stars. Our questions: How did we get here? Who are we? Where is here? Why? What next?
If you’re expecting quantum theory to answer those questions, you’re going to be disappointed. However, it does give us some heady new ways to anticipate those answers.
The Next Generation Of Computers Is Quantum Computers

Taking the Quantum Leap
While it may seem that the evolution of computers is about at its end, that is not the case. The next generation of computers are quantum computers.
The reason behind continuing computer evolution is the continuing thirst we have for speed and capacity of our computers. Way back in 1947 an engineer and computing expert, Howard Aiken, predicted that all the United States need to satisfy its need for computers were six digital electronic computers. Other scientists and engineers that followed Aiken added to the volume they predicted as being adequately massive, but were also far too conservative.
What none were able to predict that scientific research would produce voluminous quantities of knowledge that needed to be computed and stored, nor did they predict the popularity of personal computers, and the existence of the Internet. In fact, it’s hard to predict if humankind will ever be satisfied with its computer power and volume.
