How does a transistor work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcrBqCFLHIY Silicon-28 sphere: http://bit.ly/10J1G2o This episode supported by audible.com: http://bit.ly/ZJ5Q6z We have looked at how a transistor works, the fundamental unit of classical computers, and how a quantum computer works in theory, taking advantage of quantum superposition to hold exponentially more information than classical computers. Now we look at the

An atom is mostly empty space, but empty space is mostly not empty. The reason it looks empty is because electrons and photons don’t interact with the stuff that is there, quark and gluon field fluctuations. It actually takes energy to clear out space and make a true ’empty’ vacuum. This seems incredibly counter-intuitive but
