36. nonetheless,
he mentions some very interesting topics, like the transfer from yes/no logic gates to yes/no/maybe logic gates, the obsolescence of the gigahertz as a useful tool for measuring computer speed, and the number of variables comupted per second becoming the most important measure of 'speed' in a CPU- all of which are consistent with current theory regarding quantum computing. Yes, that's a real concept.

Also factual in his remarks are comments regarding superstrings and what theoretical shenanigans physicists can do with those. Superstrings also help explain his concept of a 'superverse', consisting of multiple realities along the same timeline. The proof, for his society, comes in the form of time travel, which also opens up religion as well, since multiple realities means there are no bad people, only bad actions.

Kinda neat stuff to ponder on, if nothing else.
