People around here maybe familiar that I work on the design of many things. I was interested in designing a display circuit technology which can directly form visible light waves through switching with a nano metre precision. So, I looked at the numbers needed to find out what minimum switching speed was needed. It turns out to be at least 299.792458 petahertz. I thought the 2 terahertz general circuit design I want to do is fast, that's insane, a petahertz in 1000 times faster than a terahertz (usually more than enough). But it also means, interestingly, that a single nanometre has the potential of movement of 299.792458 petahertz, which again is crazy. Of course, I know it's possible to do waves a lot easier through other techniques, but the figure is interesting. But what happens to atomic structure when you try to push nanometre waves at that sort of energy around? Space is surprisingly empty of photons, even in the midday sun, so the support structures needed for this can more easily fit in the gaps between the emitters. I had all sorts of interesting support design structures flitting through my head as I wrote this before. But, the 299.792458 petahertz figure, I think can at least be done through some fancy stuff I've been thinking of for years. The insane thing is memory addressing. When I did design proposals last decade for future processing technologies, a big problem was memory addressing. In my section of the design community, we like high-speed random access. Even saying that, a sequential segment scheme immediately formulates in mind. Sequential access is the normal solution for high speed memory access, where the next memory accesses are presumed to be the following memory, and the program, the whole circuit and work path, are designed to maximise speed of this access. So, a segmented access loads in the memory actually used, to further enhance this technique, this times a redirect to another part of memory, being presumed to be after this. But both the normal sequential, and segmented, solutions are not fast enough here. In my previous work, the proposal was to use a beam to read memory near by, but anything over half a nanometre away drops your return path speed of the beam below the 299.792458 petahertz figure, plus the reaction time (half a nanometre there and half one back plus reaction times on either end). 5 nanometres away is 29.9792458 petahertz or less, hundreds of bits+. Basically, even going to a tenth of a nanometre size, it's not enough for a good sized cache. So, I devised a scheme to maximise that, and random access. So, another solution pops into my head, in line memory. The circuit contains related memory along the program, or circuit, path. But the solution is custom circuits instead of programs, now everything is inline except when you don't need it. But then you go to the other solution I came up with, not just a binary circuits, but analogue circuits that may pass binary or integer values. Now the the 299.792458 petahertz figure, becomes very useful (relevant). You don't do much work in the nanometer or less range atomically, that's real brass tacs analogue for you, we are talking in reference to analogue below the easy convenient digital logic circuit element structures. But the cumulative effect of all this analogue circuitry, is as fast as you get in our plain of reference. Digital and FPGA, is like Lego bricks compared to this. But, I have been interested in forming sub atomic structures to reach lower dimensions and higher performance, even down to whatever is down with the plank length. Modern physics seems that be working in with previous theories, there is possibility to control the basic elements. The quarks themselves are many magnitudes bigger than the plank length, and things are strange in the standard model. We are yet to be able to see what is down that far (please note, they actively worry about the energy levels needed to see more things in colliders in the future being able to deflate the universe and destroy it. It is one of a handful of things in experimentation that they worry about being devastating). But there is a way to do it safely I've proposed. At those levels, things may become integer again, but also analogue to some extent (if it was all integer we probably wouldn't have an analogue universe). If you quickly look at it, you can see that if things are integer at the smallest scales, then scale itself must be analogue (hint) in order to derive an analogue structure on higher scales. However, both can be used together. Thinking again, the scale thing blends in with the theory, and it gets weird. In the handful of structural proposals, the scale thing fits in with the analogue universe proposal, where the universe may have no plank limit. This fits in with a proposal in relation to the existence paradox in science, from it's conventional viewpoint. If only we knew more.
If photons themselves are just packets of charge, if packets of different quantity of charge, then is charge just a quantity of some other element we don't see. I am not saying what, but suspect a certain thing. Now, things can be constructed at even smaller levels than the elements we know of. The processing speed of something the size of an atom could be more than all the computing power currently officially on the planet. But, there is a catch, matter is mostly empty, if you make something significant at such small size, what happens to gravity? So, such devices have to be walled off from affecting gravity. The other issue is, say you could build a circuit the size of an atom, that consumed as much mass as the Earth? That in itself is a high price to pay, let alone any gravitational effect. Let's say, it is not that feasible to build such densities, by better using the basic elements, just the mass of a little matter becomes a computing power house without too much hassle. The scientific concepts in this in terms of engineering is staggering. We are talking way beyond profound. We are talking about bending the laws of physics.
If anybody has seen the movie Supernova, and that strange object, we are talking that sort of level of effect on the small scale. It's funny how a number of science fiction things, which seemed like fantasy, turned out to be possible as the scientific possibilities were coincidentally seperately explored. As somebody said, science sufficiently advanced would appear to be magic to a more primitive culture.
Life is groovy, so to speak!
