It would make more sense to say that a computer will eventually be infinitely fast, to the point where you wouldn't see the power difference between the machines no matter how much faster they could possibly be.

According to what I read here the speed of light has bin broken and if we where to do a simple calculation with a CPU the surpasses the speed of light we would get the answer without even putting in the numbers, and if that is so, the CPU would have to be linked to our brain or some how guess very precisely what numbers we would enter in order to know the answer before we even enter the operation

true or not.. going by that thinking you would be getting the numbers before you even knew them.. before there is ever the ability to extract those numbers from your brain

but there is really no reason to even think about that.. best stick to reality.

anyways once there that fast id think everything would load instantly UNLESS M$ put some bad coding in Solitaire.

I think if things get that fast then we will be completely limited by code.

Simply put, there is a way to cheat the speed of light and have information travelling at a higher speed.

But to us it would be meaningless. There would be absolutely no way to catch that piece of information.

There are many many theories surrounding this "faster than light" travel subject. For instance, there's the well known conjecture that all the electrons in the universe is actually one same electron going back and forth in our time dimension. It can be expressed mathematically and explained physically. Realistically, though, what does that mean to us and the world? Can we use this "fact" to accelerate our computers? Very highly doubtful, where it is almost safe to say "no."

Same thing when we say we can have an infinitely fast calculating "computer." How do we then process and harness the abundance of information in our sensory terms? That's another problem.

in a 100+ year data will be calculated trough worm holes, sending info to a state of time were a minute for us will be hours for those places :O

how about that

for those physicist to think about hahaha...

don't be ridiculous. 10 years isn't that long considering we get a refresh yearly, and half of the time it isn't twice as fast.

Wikipedia has the system requirements of Windows 98 SE, released on 25 June 1998, as:

taking that 66mhz as a base, 66mhz * 1000 = 66,000mhz, or 6.6ghz. what CPU do you know that comes out at a speed if 6.6 ghz?

of course that increase is ignoring clockspeed improvements. my math may also be heavily flawed...

LOL hopefully when we reach that limit we can run Crysis maxed. Oh... f***. Wait. We can with a 58xx.

Unfortunately a process which breaks casuality (info. can't travel faster than the speed of light) has not been observed anywhere in the universe. While scientific models exist to be broken alot of our quantum mechanics, special relativity and molecular theory rely on a constant, maximum speed of light. Quantum tunneling, as seen in that article, is a problem that needs to be figured out with quantum computing, particles appearing in unprobable places = bad information.
