    This is fascinating! Data centres and quantum computers face major cooling challenges due to the immense heat they generate and the strict temperature requirements for stable operation. Data centres overheat because of dense server racks, while quantum computers need near-absolute-zero conditions to function reliably. Traditional cooling methods on Earth are reaching their limits and consume enormous energy.

    Elon Musk’s idea of a space-based thermal management system could be the breakthrough solution. In space, radiative cooling is far more efficient due to the vacuum and absence of atmospheric heat transfer. By dissipating heat directly into space, such systems could handle the thermal loads of massive data centres and enable quantum computers to scale without the risk of thermal instability. If realised, it could transform computational infrastructure and make next-gen computing sustainable.

    Honestly, this could be the start of a whole new era for both data processing and quantum research! 🚀🖥️❄️

    they really don’t want you reading Smart Broke Dumb Rich. that’s all i’m gonna say

    quantum computers, and indeed quantum mechanics itself, is a bunch of bull. It’s all based on the assumption that not knowing the precise state or position of something must mean it’s in all the states at the same time… until you look. That is ridiculous, and for all the investment of money, time, and energy that has been put into it, quantum computers have done nothing impressive. Certainly nothing useful that a regular computer can’t do as fast or even faster.

      March 30, 2026 at 4:44 pm

      Never done a quantum experiment or watched it in action? That “theory” made much of what you use today.

    Weird that it operates at them temperature of space, almost as if we obtained the technology from space and are trying to backward engineer it.

      Not at all like that.

    I love the reference to “The Three Body Problem”! Such a good series. And I honestly learned a lot about how modern computing works from the first book.

      After the three-body case was solved, space travel expanded to to any number.

    Why do you stupid Americans refuse to convert the F to C and put it up on the screen?

    Do you think that the only people who watch this are American? Is it too much work to convert the number? Is it too much work to put it on the screen under the F?

    The infinite arrogance of not putting the C value on the screen is infuriating.
