Except that I am not wrong. A quick glance at the diagram of a full adder in that link soon reveals it to be two half adders strung together - just as I said. Unlike you I do actually know what I am talking about.

I left that part alone, but since you picked it out, and it's an answerable question, I figured I'd address it. Any single operation in the brain is limited by the signal speed and latency of the neurons. An upward limit would be about 200hz based on the latency of the neurons firing.

As has been explained multiple times, computers can process multiple streams at a time. It's purely a matter of degree, just like the difference between gpus and cpus.

a single processor can only work on one program at a time.
its incredible speed allows it to suspend programs to give the appearance of working on multiple programs, but it only processes one program at a time.
multiple cores will allow multiple programs to run concurrently.

Now let's watch the double-talk begin whois. Notice he agrees that computers suspend programs to work on the next.

Yes, as has been explained to him multiple times.

Yet the only explanation they tried to give is that they work on multiple streams at the same time - contradicting thier own claims. LOL.

I realize you all do not remember what you post from one to the next, but so far only whois and myself have remained consistent from one post to the next. Separate cpu's can work on more than one set of data at a time - but regardless if you have a billion cpu's - it is still limited because of bus widths. The human mind is not so constrained - but has billions of processors and billions of neural pathways. Each processor in the human brain has multiple data pathways - not limited data pathways shared by multiple processors.

But you are all still avoiding what began all of this. ALL COMPUTERS RUN ON 2 BIT BINARY CODE.

well, it's kind of a trade off situation between speed and bus width.
it's better to make comparisons based on throughput.
also, don't make the mistake of thinking that a single processor cannot deal with more than one program.
for example:
for every key you press on your keyboard, the cpu suspends the program it is currently working on to process the input, after processing it returns to the program it is working on.
even 8 bit machines was adequate for this.
it's when you have a large number of programs running simultaneously is where you either need a faster CPU or a wider bus width.
the wider the bus, the more data you can transfer on a single cycle.
i'm not really sure if the brain is strictly digital or analog in nature, probably a combination of the 2.

I think what he means is that one bit can assume two values. Naturally a byte can assume 256 values, and a word 65536 values.

e=MC^2 is the biggest hoax. Einstein is just a actor they put on a pedestal so the public masses can worship. Just like stephen hawking, another actor.
Only Einstein did a better job of convincing people that he knew what he was talking about. Hawkings is not convincing at all, esp they way he loses bets and has to admit he was wrong. I would put him in the league with Planet Pluto deniers Well meaning people trying to sell their latest book, that just can not seem to get it right.

I thought that was why they had quad processors. If you can not multitask then what is the use?

When processor speeds reached 4GHz they discovered that they couldn't make them go any faster without them frying themselves. So instead they put multiple cores on a single chip. If there was a choice, a single core going at 16GHz would probably be preferable, because it would simplify the design of both the hardware and the operating system.

I am not claiming a single cpu can not process more than one program - just that it can not do so simultaneously. It must suspend each one in tandem and switch between them.

We do not yet know if neurons do this or not. So have no way to compare. Sight is sent to one region, sound to another. We can deduce that each input is processed by multiple processors in that region, but since we can almost instantly process all that data at once, I seriously doubt if anything is even momentarily suspended.

The only acceptable hypotheses is when God said let there be life and there was life. The only question has to do with time. If life instantly appeared of if live "evolved" over a period of time. Some refer to this as punctuated equilibrium vs gradualism or catastrophism and uniformitarianism. So you end up with three isms and one ium.

But what is "time"?

If rulers shrink and clocks slow under acceleration (experimentally proven), then would using time as we measure it today to calculate into the past give us the correct answer in a universe they claim is increasing in acceleration???? Would not clocks have then ticked faster in the past when acceleration was slower since they slow as acceleration increases?????

Something to take into consideration is the little girl that they removed half of her brain. Yet there is a lot less disfunction then what you would think.

Because other parts of the brain took over those functions. It's called redundancy - just as we build redundancy into our machines.

okay, i just wanted to make sure you "got it".
also remember we are talking about outrageous speeds here, on the order of nanoseconds.
that's a billion times a second.
i don't think we can do a 1 to 1 comparison of the brain to todays technology.
