Phillip and Ken, I think Im going to build a big parallel computer that operates on quantum physics principles. It could solve an infinite number of problems at the same time by solving each in one of an infinite number of dimensions. Parallel programming would be simplified and each instruction would have its own thread. Actually it would have as many threads as possibilities for its input data. That would be great. Then problems could be solved in constant time. Of course, youd need to attach a wormhole to a serial port on the back of the computer to get the results back, but thats just an engineering detail. Id be the richest, most famous person in the world if I built such a machine. Computer scholars would put a contract out on my life for singlehandedly obsoleting the entire field of algorithm analysis, while major hardware companies would camp out on my lawn waiting for me to sign their nine figure salary job offers.
