>what would b the purpose of such a machine? Servile? It would essentially b a human with lower brain function methinks
Pretty much, that or as a spy. Arguably it could function better than human, brain-function-wise. The chips you run your GPU or CPU on are only 1-layer of transistors, transistors which are absolutely tiny. If you get over the heat and power inefficiency issues then you can make a computer the size of a brain that can handle far, far more computation than a human brain could. Iirc the frequency the brain operates at is something around 20 hertz, where as your CPU operates in the gigahertz range.
Also they could spy on people and as a story element you can always have the horror of knowing that the body of a character was then puppeted whilst their brain was thrown out. Murdered and then used as a shell for some machine.
>yeah! Have u done anything kewl 2day?
Not too much, just been doing chores and helping my mom. Did do a good bit of thinking though. How about you?
>i think the Casimir effect is just a weird thing that happens, not something that we can utilize...
My thinking is that it depends on how virtual particles, as described for quantum mechanics, can be impeded. The Casimir effect is implied to be related to those virtual particles, but if the field that generates them is essentially at the same amount of energy at all positions, but is limited to 3 dimensions like our own, then I wonder what happens when you have a box that steals energy from that field with something like the Casimir effect. Will radioactive particles end up with different rates of decay? Will the speed of light be altered in that space? Of course, this could all lead to something like the vacuum catastrophe :).
>who knows, mayb they r real?
But they don't have cool magic if they are ):, they'd be more mundane or synchronistic. I want fireballs and portals.
>'member how long it took 4 elder kings 2 2 come out?
I don't know what that is B^).
