What the heck's a Boltzmon?!

SPOILERS!!!






At the end Lisa Durnau comes to the realization that the Tabernacle was actually a Boltzmon left behind from the singularity created by the Generation Three aeai at the Ray Power building (probably the most convoluted sentence I've written on this blog). Anyways, here's what the heck a Boltzmon is:

I'm not even gonna try the HTML encoding thing. The risk of epic fail is too high.

  2. (editted somewhat, didnt like how it sounded before)
    After doing some wikipedia hoping, what I figure is that a boltzmon is a super compressed amount of data of everything the blackhole consumed that is created when the blackhole explodes (yes, blackholes die just like the stars that made them).

    Basically I think it is a-kin to a super-ZIP file of sorts. Except the information is quantum information about what each thing that was consumed is. It is different then "classical" information that our computers use now, although similar since information we have on our computers describe and build everything we do on them. However, despite the differences it is still measured to some degree the same way. In bits, or "qubits" (which stands for quantum bits).

    In today's computers, there are 8 bits to a byte and harddrives now contain upwards of 2 terabytes (or 16 terabits) and more.

    Looking into the future, using quantum computing (which I dont really understand) is the method of making much faster computers than we have today.

  3. Wow, considering how much information the Boltzman could contain, it makes me wonder what data the Gen Three Aeai stored inside--a sort of informational Ark for humanity to follow when the world ends?

  4. That is pretty interested. I am kind of into astrophysics, and have never heard of that. Thanks for the link.

  5. If I'm not totally misunderstood, won't quantum computing allow for almost instantaneous transfer of info? Because we'll be able to make information hop around like quantum particles, and essentially be in two places at once? I don't know very much about this stuff, but I find it really interesting.

  6. Eventually, we'll all be our own grandfathers...
