grug doesn't like other tribe chanting after every hunt
A computer booting up is as physically causal as throwing a rock into water and watching it's waves propagate.
It's like utilizing gravity's pull on rainwater to drive hydroplants or irrigate fields, except it's electrilc potential instead of gravitational potential, and data processing instead of energy or food generation.
When you sit in a train on a sunny day in a country that utilizes solar energy and you feel the warmth of sunlight on your skin: It's the same energy that's moving you and the train.
A computer doesn't "calculate" 2+2=4, it loads 2 and 2 into "loading bays" (CPU registers) and "smashes" them together, and logic dicates the result must be 4, and it just passes that to you.
How fast it can load this data and smash them together and give that back to you, is basically how fast a processor is.
It's not magic, it's about making a giant maze that actually has logic and sense underneath it all.
The difficulty most people have with computers is that it's actually all dead simple, but your chaining tens of thousands of dead simple processes together to make something complex, and you first need to realize that.
Rocket science is actually complex in that regard, same with "real" maths, I like programming because most of the time it's a lot of "baby maths."
Also, your dealing with a real physical system with bounds; maths has the tendency to want to do things "for infinity."
