rethinking quantum states and computers

Before we build practical quantum computers, we need to learn how to read quantum states. One idea may be to make the circuits bigger. Much bigger. At least on a nano scale that is...

what does it take to get a warp drive?

Warp drives will work by creating a bubble of twisted space. But the physics of that bubble get very complicated very quickly.

can we use black holes created in particle colliders to power our homes?

Despite what you were told, particle colliders don't have enough energy to generate micro black holes. But what if they could? Could we plug them into our energy grids?

is my singularity showing again?

The concept of a singularity not covered by an event horizon has been around for a while and used to justify some very bizarre tales...
