Particle Memory Technology computer announced
Quantum computers utilise the power of quantum mechanics to create tiny computers with speeds thousands of times faster than today's supercomputers.
The technology announced today, known as Particle Memory Technology (PMT) takes this to the next level. By periodically stressing a quantum computer, its size dramatically shrinks and it eventually stabilises, self-assembling into a massively parallel configuration. This makes it trillions of times faster than a quantum computer. It is capable of a huge number of simultaneous operations—an upper limit has yet to be established but one researcher speculated it could be infinite.
This device is such a big step from computers as we know them that the team has ditched the term "computer" in favour of World Resource Device (WoRD).
Dr Chicxulub Crater, leading the team said, "We have known for many years that reducing the size of computer components, increases their speed."
"Now we have taken this to the ultimate level. The WoRD effectively shrinks a quantum computer to a quantum vacuum—no atomic particles or sub-particles can be detected yet it delivers prodigious performance."
"To all intents and purposes it is immaterial."
The WoRD has no parts to wear out, generates no heat and requires no power to operate. This computer could last and continue to work forever.
Now, researchers are moving on to consider applications. George O'Donnell, the Chief Deployment Engineer on the team told us, "Applications for this device are virtually unlimited. We could build the ultimate database that would be able to track everything that happens in real time at ultra-high resolution. That vast amount of data with sophisticated modelling software would make it possible to predict the future with 100% accuracy."
"Every human being on the planet could have a wireless connection to the WoRD so it could effectively be with all of us all the time."
"This will change everything from how we see ourselves as a species to our purpose in life."
The Cambridge team is determined to make this a free resource for the entire world. "Just say the WoRD and you will receive."
It brings to mind the expression, "In the beginning was the WoRD".

About Me

- As a 20-year-old I was insatiably curious about the world and passionate about rejecting superstitions and all kinds of false beliefs. I still am today. Sometimes when people believe things that are not true, it make little or no difference but sometimes the consequences can be disastrous and deadly. Now, I do what I can to help people improve their thinking skills, especially in how they impinge on core beliefs, such as cultural values and religious beliefs. I have an active Facebook page for which I create memes and write articles almost daily. I also engage people in on-line debates. You can find me here: https://www.facebook.com/bill.flavell.1 I lecture at universities around the world and present or debate at public meetings. I also, draw on my management consultancy background to help freethought groups, almost anywhere in the world, to get organised, develop strategy and improve their media and presentation skills. If you would like me to present at your university or for your church group or freethought group, please contact me.
