New Ion Trap May Lead to Large Quantum Computers

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have designed and built a novel electromagnetic trap for ions that could be easily mass produced to potentially make quantum computers large enough for practical use.

Mercury Atomic Clock Keeps Time with Record Accuracy

BOULDER, COLO.—An experimental atomic clock based on a single mercury atom is now at least five times more precise than the national standard clock based on a “fountain” of cesium atoms, [...]

I have a clock precise to 1,000,000,000,000,000 of a second, give or take an hour.

Well it's obvious that what's happening here is you are crossing over several paralell dimensions none of which have similar time parameters. "Beam me up, Ziggy!"

"Beam me up, Ziggy!"

Is that mixed metaphor?

Putting a face on android science by exploring an uncanny valley

We might be more responsive to robots designed to look human rather than mechanical, but other factors may determine what causes us to accept or shun these virtual humans.

Then there were the 'service' androids in WESTWORLD.

"You will be assimilated." OH!!

Well if I knew THAT'S what it ment I'da been here earlier!!
