Google Quantum AI founder Hartmut Neven wrote in his blog post that this chip was so mind-boggling fast that it must have borrowed computational power from other universes.. Ergo the chip’s ...

While parallel universes are a staple of science fiction, there are some real scientific theories to support them. But if parallel universes do exist, could we ever travel to them? It certainly ...

Ergo the chip’s performance indicates that parallel universes exist and “we live in a multiverse.” Here’s the passage: Willow’s performance on this benchmark is astonishing: It performed ...
