Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] World's Smallest Sculpture

This is was used when it first came out by doctors. They'd ultra scan a baby
they were concerned about pre-birth then get the machine to model it out of
resin so they could look at it first hand in 3D. The very smallest
sculptures are actually a lot, lot smaller. They are built by floating
single electrons (Over a thousands times smaller than a proton or neutron,
the nucleus of an atom) over a bed of super critical helium I think it was.
IBM are really heavily into these things and so they wrote IBM and other
things like 'BUY IBM!!!'. : ) Maybe not the last one, but the electrons
have 3 dimensions and exist in the fourth, they are therefore 'sculptures'.
It was an attempt to see just how tiny you could make electronics. Well it's
getting smaller again because quantum computers are coming, instead of using
electrons and copper tracks they use the things that go on between the
particles; the quantum (Sub atomic). The computers are called Q-Bit
computers and one has actually been made, I'm unsure of how long it worked
for but it was the size of a house. A computer possessing one Q-Bit would be
equal to more computing power than the entire of the current world's
computers put together.

Totally off topic but teleportation has also been proven true. It is
possible to copy a particle at an exact time and point. The particle is
observed somehow without interfering with it (I forget how) then this
information duplicated onto a particle at the other end. The copy can be
rebuilt somewhere else perfectly. I suppose that means we'd have atleast two
people walking round who are the same though so the first would need
deleting. That is with one particle, add a few trillion more for a person
and we're getting there, now you're talking about !LOTS! of information as
well.
