People still aren't realizing how big A.I. and quantum computing are. We are living through the equivalent of the discovery of electricity.
In history books people are going to be looking at the world before and after A.I. and this will be the decade historians agree on for when the shift began. People from the future will look at medicine now the way we look at medicine in the 1800s before germ theory was confirmed.
With machines you can have the equivalent results of 10 million scientists working around the clock for 100,000 years straight in a matter of months. Especially when it comes to the computational power of quantum computers.
Let's throw some physics into the mix: a classical computer operates based off binary code which represents a switch either being on or off. A quantum computer uses quantum bits which represent 1s and 0s but with greater fluidity. For example, light is both a particle and a wave. Observing light changes how it behaves. Quantum computers can simulate that behavior because a quantum bit can be both a one and zero depending on how it's observed. You can run simulations that mimic how particles behave in nature.
With that you can do the equivalent of 100,000 experiments per hour. Work that would take years can be done in days and the results can be repeated with enough accuracy that you can develop things that would've taken years to pull off.
China understands this and they are writing blank checks to their engineers, chemists, and doctors. They realize that they could be the equivalent of the Europeans who pulled up to America in massive ships made with materials that the natives had never seen before. This is the kind of technological advantage that can completely change the direction of history. America needs to do the same thing. We have the biggest economy on earth and if we put more money into science we can remain competitive. If not?
