BUT, the big difference is that QIP (Quantum Information Processing) is not a threat to anyone, on the contrary it is embraced and encouraged and regarded by many as the next big leap forward in computing power.<br /><br />The principles that QIP work on are based on exploiting Quantum Entanglement, the effect 1st outlined by Einstein, Podolsky & Rosen in their famous EPR Paradox paper. Einstein used EPR to try to prove that entanglement as it would be explained by Nils Bohr ('Copenhagen Interpretation') was wrong and that the entanglement effect could only be explained by 'hidden variable' and that it violated his (Einsteins) conviction in the absolute need for 'locality'. Point here is Einstein & friends described entanglement but only to try to prove that Bohr & followers were wrong. The subsequent history of experiments (Bell's inequality) have shown Einstein to be wrong. Locality with 'hidden variables' is not involved in the entanglement effect.<br /><br />So now we have computers being built, and used, based on that 'wrong' entanglement and that still today no scientist can explain with any widely accepted or cohesive theory. It just works. The smart ones just exploited the pedants argue it shouldn't be used because there is no accepted theory or known science.<br /><br />So the situation we have is that QIP is accepted and in use despite lacking a good understanding of how & why it works, but LENR is widely attacked and blasted when there is plenty of evidence it is real, but we do know it poses multiple threats.<br /><br />Tom Darden really summed up his involvement well. What he has had to say and is doing (supporting Andrea Rossi when few others would) is what is needed. The hope is he triggers an avalanche of interest and support.<br /><br />DSMdsjm1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07779323885237127015noreply@blogger.com
