Yes, because pure logic is useless because humans are idiots. The entire point of modern science is to avoid relying on human experience for anything, instead relying on observations.
Saying that science is somehow a form of faith while working on a computer that wouldn't work if we didn't know what we do about quantum mechanics is something I cannot comprehend.
Wait, what does quantum mechanics have to do with computers? A quick google search[Far from conclusive] implies that the main intersection of the two fields is quantum computers. Does this mean you're typing on a quantum computer? And if you do have one, what kind of FPS do you get in DF?
^Please don't take this as an insult or anything offensive. This is satire mixed with curiousity.
Quantum computers are computers that
exploit quantum mechanics, not ones that have to take it into account.
Computer components are really, really small. Modern computers have pieces small enough that we have to work around quantum mechanics, even if only a little bit. At current rates, we may get to the point where quantum tunneling (electrons popping up where they shouldn't be able to) might become a problem, at which point I guess we'll just have to do something else.
Sorry guys.
Didn't mean to start an argument.
Not your fault
Things just have a way of snowballing sometimes.
Starting isn't the problem, it's the continuing that causes it, so I have
far more reason to apologize.
