How soon before Namibian “scientists” are given credit for all of the discoveries?

"...hybrid particles of light and matter..."

If Energy = the Speed of Light times Mass squared (E=MC2), what the hell is a hybrid of "light and matter"?

(Of course I didn't read the article - this is Freerepublic)

I thought for a moment they’d discovered actual Vibranium.

If this tech depends on slabs cut from preformed gem quality crystals it will always be a rare and expensive venture. Looks like they are rarer than diamonds, and the waste from cutting will be substantial. It will never be in everyone’s home computer.

“Ancient Namibian Stone”

Just about all stones are “ancient”. How ancient is this one?

Well, it looks like all your computers are going to get unconstipated to light speed!

From the article:
"...using quantum bits or qubits to store information in 0s, 1s, and Mb>multiple values in between ..."
Wut? I thought qubit values were 0, 1, or "indeterminate" -- a superposition of both 0 and 1.

This article is saying a qubit might have a "value" of, say, 1/4, 1/2. 7/8. That's not right. Is it?

R.B., why do I keep thinking skynet? (And post quantum computers will chess grandmasters cease to exist?)

Kevmo; you see anything here that might be used to precipitate fusion in some chemical solution?

Oh great, now Namibia gets added to the list of Third World sh*tholes we are supposed to treat with reverence.

Namibia is a really diverse country, although most is really dry. The sand in the Namib Desert is said to be the oldest in the world, something like 50 million years old. The coast on the west is covered with shipwrecks

It’s also the original home of the San (bushmen) who have lived there for 20k years, they were for years not considered human and hunting of the San was permitted.

I’ve been fortunate enough to hunt in Namibia, in the edge of the Kalahari to the mountains and foothills of Okahanja.
