Could a more sophisticated being follow humans?

Not true. An AI could be made using a quantum Computer. Therefore it would not just have Boolian answers. Instead it would have an exponential choice system, just like we do

It would give the illusion of AI, but it still wouldn't really be AI. In fact I'd say that it would be about as smart as the smartest 'bots' in a first person shooter.

Sure, it may be AI wont be possible in near future, but at some point enough processing capacity will be available to emulate the function of that few kilos of grey matter in our head.

Of course, its not the sheer processing power, but how its wired.

I don't think technology is going to be able to emulate a human mind in it's full form. We only use 10% of our brains, or so I'm told, and as of yet processors that can do thousands of calculations a second can't emulate an infant.

Quantum computing *IS* kind of cool though...I need another year of math before I can really get into it though.

There are two theories out that apply strongly to nanotechnology. I'll try to simplify them.

1.The universe is like a bunch of legos, there are large parts that are made out of smaller parts glued together but eventually you will hit the smallest possible part.

2.The universe has no 'smallest possible' lego and can always become smaller.

If theory one is true, then we're nearing our technological cap.

If theory two is true, then we're no where near a quarter of a hundredth done with our technological advancements.

Unfortunately it seems that theory one, with modern science, is more likely to prevail then theory two. And even if theory two is true we have no way to measure anything smaller then an atom, as how the most precise measurements on small objects are conducted is by running an electrical current across the object, and this can only give an educated guess.

Soooooooo...while both are still theories nanotechnology is an achievable dream, when one becomes known fact nanotechnology becomes either science fiction, or soon to come.

Scuze me, Nano tech can be applied to machines the size of viruses or the size of bacteria........ When they can be say 100 atoms at the most, we can conduct true atom manipulation

*Sigh.*

You don't seem to understand me, nor technology. Look up the transister count in one of today's CPUs.

Are you stalking me or something?

I haven't looked into the bible on this one, I'm not even sure if it predicts either. You can use it to support either theory, indirectly.

1.God is an infinite being thus his creation has infinite complexity and can always be broken into smaller pieces, or

2.God's creation is made up of building blocks-once more like legos, and there is a smallest possible block.

Fascintating.

Have you heard of the Golden Means Spiral. Mathematically it is perfect and never reaches a begining or end. In nature however, as demonstrated in a snail shell and such etc. it has a slight inperfection creating a beginning and allowing room for change and growth.

No, sounds interesting though!
