Hexanary Computers a Thought

[Num3]

With the coming Intel laser emiter chips, it will be possible to built light based CPU's that can use RGB to set 6 states instead of the simple binary state we currently use.

Lasers networks are now starting to replace wi-fi ones, with speeds up to 1.25Gbps !!!

The power of those CPU's will be huge and Ghz will be a thing of the past, we are talking light speed here gentleman.

I predic that in about 30 years that will be the thing!

Any comments?

Why are you limiting it to six states?

Why not go the full distance of eight?

I want to see it

did not know about this technology but sound like

that the last 2 states are

all off -> no light (not posible to determine what)
all on -> white light possible conflict with other signal -> error

Lasers don't interfer with each other aka they don't mix colors i don't know why exectly...
heres a little article on optical chips http://www.breathmeter.com/pages/news_c ... index.xml

Lasers don't interfer with each other aka they don't mix colors

Laser is light, photons. It's nothing different, but laser behaviour is different to common light because laser is pure, an only frequency, and light is a merge of random frequencies.
Each laser color is a light-frequency.
If 2 different laser rays collides, frequencies can be affected (colors can be affected).
McCann says lasers don't interfer with each other because those rays built in the new chips are supposed to be tiny enough and distanced enough to not collide with others light tiny rays.
