Breakthrough Magnetic Cooling System Pushes Quantum Computers Close To Absolute Zero | HotHardware These guys have basically done away with the need for liquid helium to obtain ultra low temperature, which can now be done by plugging their special refrigerator into the wall instead. Liquid helium can also be used to create things like a Carnot Engine, and by combining their achievement with thermal diodes and Maxwell's Demon which were also recently invented, the sky is the limit. Nobody has ever had the luxury of exploring all the varieties of ways you can move heat around without expending any energy in the process, but simply hooking a quantum computer up to its own refrigerator would mean you only have to start the machine and it would run forever without using much more energy than what is required to read the output. This is just too weird for even me, and I'll have to think about it, but lets just say Wonderland now has air conditioning and modern refrigeration. Einstein was the first to patent a magnetic cooling system, and his equations for Relativity have turned out to be identical to thermodynamics. Once they figure out how heat can be manipulated, they will have the mathematics to bend space-time any fucking way they want. Its what they call "dimension squeezing" these days. Like I said, I'll have to think about it. Its sort of a modern take on Heinlein's classic "Number of the Beast!" Manipulating time inside such a machine should be the first thing they figure out how to do. A "time crystal" is an adiabatic system that can internally substitute time for missing geometry, so they are essentially about to expand on that idea and will require the mathematics the computers are about to spit out to build what is essentially the first singularity capable of manipulating matter and energy and information anyway imaginable. Information from the quantum computer will come at essentially no cost, and all bets are off, because technology has transformed into magic. My wild guess, is the machine could act as a sort of Oracle, that can answer anything, but imposes a karmic price on whoever is asking, compelling them to join what Taoists call the "Yin World". It can grant wishes, such as to travel to another planet, but you have to be careful what you wish for. Too weird, like I said, which is why I normally prefer not to dwell on things like magic. What fucking good has magic done the world anyway? Ah ha! This means we should have anti-gravity within a few decades at most.
