Your body acclimates to the temperature after it's been almost the same for a week and any change is felt. 🥶

The Very Strange Case Of Willow
Now mind you Willow is not a person. Willow is a computer by Google. A quantum computer. Not a large massive machine either...actually the size of a postage stamp. Willow was cooled down to near Absolutes Zero. Quantum computers need the cold to work properly. Widdle Willow performed admirably. Doing calculations in 5 minutes that would take the best classical computer more then 10 septillion years. That's septillion yes.
Willow was shut down though. She didn't fail but was turned off because of alarming results. Google is very closed mouth about what happened. Some of the scientists said bizarre things. Like Willow was interacting. Interacting with what though ....? Some scientists just said this was beginning of a whole new era for humanity. Some said little Willow has achieved conciousnes. Others said it was communicating with the Universe. Many said its too early to say anything. Don't anthropormorhize things. Yet more and more bizarre data started to leak out. Willow started having data on ancient hieroglyphs and bizarre geometric designs similar to crop circles.Other said Willow was cyber security risk. Google has shut down Willow for about a year. It was the best Quantum computer to date but it seem Willow is touching on the bizarre nature of quantum mechanics. Amazing and utterly terrifying at the same time. Are we ready to know what Willow knows about the Universe ...about reality?

It certainly has terrifying aspects to it. Mainly since we don't understand quantum superposition at all. Yet we are running a system using it and giving it free reign.

It shouldn't be given control over our nuclear weapons systems. 😱

I agree
The scary part is since we don't understand quantum superposition it may take control ...it maybe able to alter reality itself.

If they can do that, then nothing is safe. 😱 😱I agree

That's the problem with quantum stuff. It hols a great deal of power. With great power comes great responsibility though. There are those that beleive the Universe is one big quantum wave..... did Willow tap into that? We just dont know. Thats what makes rhis amazing and terrifying. Lol. I sort leaning toward terrifying myself lol
