According to the theory of uncomputing, that requires an computer made of anti-particles which are prevented from colliding with non-anti-matter (lest both vanish in a puff of cosmic rays). Funnier things happen if you rotate the Feynman diagram by only 90 degrees. All across the universe, virtual pairs of computers and anti-computers materialise and dematerialise. This violation of the Einstein's matter-energy law of conservation is allowed by Heisenberg's time-energy law of uncertainty, as long as those (anti)computers are very very short-lived. They are so incredibly short-lived that they rarely have the time to perform more than �sqrt(-1) operation before they auto-annihilate. ____________________________________________________________________ Mathieu Bouchard - t�l:+1.514.383.3801 - http://artengine.ca/matju Freelance Digital Arts Engineer, Montr�al QC Canada
