@@sambhavgupta4653 What *what* real?

50 years? Shor's Algorithm was invented in 1994, and the first quantum computer was created in 1998. Am I misunderstanding your comment?

​@@gamestarz2001 Not Shor's in particular, I mean all the work leading up to it (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_quantum_computing_and_communication). But yeah probably 30 is more accurate than 50

@@gamestarz2001 Because Feynman and others came up with the idea of Quantum Computing in the early 1980's. So the work started many years before any actual test computer was created. Still at this point we are not near a "Real" working Quantum Computer.

Euler solved problems in number theory that came to use only 200 years later

When scientists were exploring nuclear physics situations arose wherein the scientists would say "We'll leave the exact answer to this to the future when better computers will be built."

nah that’s literally the minimum they should do

I dunno man. Having seen many comments like yours on the more technical detail oriented stuff I watch. I think KZfaq's algorithm is wonking out again. It does this, waves of poor decisions like a repeating puberty phase. Usually they are right after a week or two of amazingly good choices that are effective at keeping you hooked. I can never trust YT's algorithm, even when it is working well because of that behavior.

i ooo

Could you explain your comment. It sounds very arrogant.

Nah, we just happened to be in a right world out of manyworlds

you knowing that you understand exactly 0.001 % that also shows that you got the depth of everything points

somehow i think we arent actually supposed to know how to make a doom machine computer... its just TOO DANGEROUS!!!

and that’s beautiful

Ah, you should have added a minus sign, that would have been epic if you understood exactly -0.001% ;-D

You watch something like this and think "I know what that word means" and "I know what that other word means" and then they get put together in a sentence and you think "Wait! WTF?" MIght as well be selling turboencabulators.

These discoveries are information coalescence, non local.

@@landspide I’m not sure what you mean, can you explain?

​@@loganclark3642Just something I noticed... It seems like information itself tends to coalesce. Like with 'inventors' just being in the right place at the right time making major discoveries almost simultaneously, more than just the march of progress would suggest. I have also noticed it in a few places like obtuse bugs manifesting in complex software at exactly the same time, opposite ends of the earth, with completely different originating paths, operating systems, local variables and run times. Also with divergent/derived codebases, with completely different and unrelated triggers that just seem to align with the planets (akin to chaos, but convergent from chaos - somehow they just trigger simultaneously when the conditions are right). Might be just woo woo too ;P lol.

Definitely not Jesus - he's prolly jewish.

That's something people like this seem to have in common. It makes you think that some of it has to be access to these other great minds. I wonder how many people like Shor and Feynman over the years had to spend their life doing menial work because they had no access to education systems. Or how many there might be out there still today. People like Feynman probably come along quite rarely, but still almost all of them have probably spent their life in hunter gatherer tribes, tolling the fields, in wars and other conflicts, etc. And even in the present day likely stuck in third world countries doing odd jobs, or even in the USA stuck in some backwater town because of childhood problems or other issues like drug addiction.

@@lost4468yt NO THATS MY BIGGEST FEAR!!!! the many people who we never hear about, whose journals we never find but pondered the universe in some sort of isolation. The saying goes steel sharpens steel and the company you keep so I would AGREE 100% it is access to those minds think about the Einstein Bohr debates not as much fun with only one of them. Thats for me what's beautiful about fundamental thinking and logic at the core of every subject ( A note is almost all great minds had multiple areas of interest Maxwell came up with those equations with his spare time!) Beauty: is the construction of fundamental reasoning that leads multiple agents to the same or similar conclusion independently. Something I feel is missing from the current system. I hope we can allow our great minds the room to find themselves or their source codes. the one constant for me with all these minds is a deep conviction in something that LITERALLY CANNOT BE SEEN! if anything that deepens the conviction; today we think we know too much to be true.

And Vazirani

Moreover, at 26:25 Peter Shor talks about "the better error *correcting* codes", not "cracking codes".

theoretical science is a contradiction of terms.

@@evolutionCEO Not really. Theory has a completely different meaning in that context. The common meaning is closer to: the question leading up to forming a hypothesis.

@@mrnobody2873 a question is a question and a theory is a theory. you seem to be having a hard time with this simple truth...

@@evolutionCEO not really. Math and science have technical definitions that differ from common usage. Law has its own definitions on top of those. You need the right one in the right context or people will think you are simple.

@@mrnobody2873 these people that might think me simple, are they theoretical scientists??? ;D. law, the fundamental principles and processes of the universe. Law (capital L) = a name for something that isn't law. If science is not the study of law, then science is the manipulation of fiction. so what science are you talking about?

Awesome, thank you!

It's important because a big part of cryptographic security all around the world relies on the fact that it is quite fast and easy to multiply two big numbers p and q to get r, but insanely hard to retrieve p and q if you're only given r. Shor's algorithm can provide such a prime factors decomposition efficiently. Part of the algorithm runs on a quantum computer, hence the speedup.

Evolution doesn't necessarily always reward intelligence. Without any natural predator within the herd, it simply benefits to those who reproduce the most, which makes intelligence people endangered species.
