Sure, because that's never happened before...

But as to the shifting over - why did they shift just one position? Why not two or three places over? The answer would be VERY different if they shifted any farther - which as far as I can tell is totally arbitrary and done for no good reason other than to get to the answer they already know they want.

So the particular 'proof' they are showing in THIS video doesn't hold much weight.

Geez, guys, this isn't wrong, you're just nitpicking on notation or trying to apply conventional wisdom to a counterintuitive proof. If it's so wrong why does everyone who does math or physics professionally have the same incorrect opinion about it!

Wow, that first one was so far off the mark, it's laughable.

When you hair stands up on end, it is sticking out further from your boding, giving you a slightly greater lead time for anything brushing up against you. It also gives you greater sensitivity to physical stimuli that may brush near your body. It makes you more sensative to small air currents as well that are flowing over your skin.

All things things help in survival, fight or flight type situations.

Quantum Computing Explained

Sniper007 says...

Thank you, well put.

This is no good explanation at all. The only explanation about quantum computing that he gives is that we can have bits that are in a) multiple states at the same time and b) more than just two states. I accept that some people didn't know that so it might be new information, but it doesn't tell us anything about how quantum computing works.

It explains the quantum, but doesn't even begin to explain the computing.
