I am totally ignorant about quantum computing and I would be very grateful if someone educated in the subject could answer my questions

why are we even wasting our time with quantum computers? These seem better in ever way possible and are more feasible with current technology

Is math a worthwhile major, even if you're only going for a 4 year degree? I'm second-year CS and honestly disillusioned by the tech industry and it's impact on society, not to mention all the degenerates colleagues. I really love math, and it feel like captures the positives of CS, I just worry about the job prospects, as I have no desire to teach whatsoever.

Does anyone know if there are any possible bombs that the advanced nations are keeping secret? Or have we hit a wall and all we have are the same ICBMs with thermonuclear warheads. What kind of science fiction bombs could possibly be created (e.g., plasma bombs)?

DIME (Dense Inert Metal Explosive).>Dense Inert Metal Explosive (DIME) is an experimental type of explosive that has a relatively small but effective blast radius. It is manufactured by producing a homogeneous mixture of an explosive material (such as phlegmatized HMX or RDX) and small particles of a chemically inert material such as tungsten. It is intended to limit the distance at which the explosion causes damage, to avoid collateral damage in warfare.

Now that we are only a few days away from the great filter thanks to a world scale nuclear attack, how will science manage to store this information for the next iteration of surviving humans? Computers aren't gonna make it so forget about that.

I need one or more anons who can't rotate an apple in their mind to take Mucuna Pruriens extract and report back with results. By increasing the levels of dopamine in your brain you should in theory start seeing colors and shapes within your mind's eye.

In the end, a little more capability is eeked out. It may not be super significant, but it exists.

>>14266274 Does the scientist only eat grey food too? When he cuts himself shaving, is his blood grey? I understand that your little thought experiment is supposed to be conceptual, and that by asking these questions I'd likely fail the Voigh Kampf test, but let's be honest, it's a pretty shitty thought experiment. Part of the reason "philosophy" and humanities aren't regarded well is because the people in those fields don't think as much as they think they do.

>>14266274 This thought experiment is fundamentally flawed. The brain does not have a unified memory, intellectual memory is distinct from visual memory. So yes seeing a red apple for the first time would gain new information, just not intellectual information.
On a side note, this experiment would not actually work. If you have never been exposed to color in your entire life, then you would be physically incapable of seeing color. cones are places randomly, I am pretty sure the brain can only tell them apart by their frequency response, if you only ever see grey, then brain will have no concept of red green and blue cones.

Is it true that positrons are electrons travelling back in time? My quantum physics teacher said so in class and refused to explain any further

Quoted By:
I hear this is a useful thinking device for elementary QFT but if you take it to its most esoteric conclusions, you will run into some problems describing vacuum polarizations (and similar). I haven't worked out those results so I'm not sure what the issues are or if there is a feasible workaround. However, the Feynman rules for constructing amplitudes from diagrams are as you say: positrons are reverse time electrons. The problem, however, is that vacuum polarizations (and similar) don't show up in Feynman diagrams.
Anonymous
>>14265162 Nobody cares, you just like saying "electron goes back in time". It makes no difference in terms of predictions if you just think about positrons going forward in time. It doesnt matter what stupid stories you make up in your brain as long as the math is coherent.
