matrix code is impossible

we all know that compuetrs dont use normal umbers...they use base 1 instead of base 10(they only use nums 0,1)now y would matrix code b used if even our compyters tale a while 2 reed base 1...wouldnt an entire encyption language take longer 2 read?

binary has a value of either 1 or 0. This makes programming very easy, but it actually makes the transmission of data very slow.

If you used symbols where there were a lot more values than just 0 or 1, then you can transmit much more information.

Well, if you buy into the predictions that future generations of computers may get rid of binary logics due to the restrictions it places on processing time and ability, and begin to function with tri state or multi-state devices on the 'bit' level, 0 and 1 might not be as relevant for future generations of machines that handle computational logic.

I think this thread was started in ignorance, since all "current" computer characters are based on 1s and 0s. The diference being they are strung together in octets (8bit or 8 digits long = 00000000, 00000001, 00000010, 00000011, etc) would create 256 diferent possibilites which is the basis for ASCII character set that is used to represent the 26 uppercase, 26 lowercase, numbers, various punctuation and symbols.

String 2 octets togetrher and you have a 16bit character that would allow for over 16 thousand different variations, plenty to show the pretty green numbers and symbols that you see slide down the screen.

Okay, the argument about the possibility of the Matrix code is irrelevant, owing to the fact that it is A MOVIE, and thus, will never have to be used, as the Matrix is a figment of the wachowski bro's imagination!!!

Well these "predictions" are true now we have only begun to experiment with quantum computers, on a very very basic level Im talking still at the 1+1=2 stage.

But taking in to account of when this happened, as in time period. Talking, "thinking" machines era Im sure they dabbled into quantum computers. Quantum computing is much different than nnormal computing. Main difference they dont ues the binary system of ones and zeroes, if fact it is much like matrix code. As far as it using symbols that is, which accounts for very high computing speeds and a high bandwidth of data transfer.

There is now 64 bit which allows for even more variations but there is still a limit to it. With quantum computing there is no limit, it is basically a InfinityBit type of system. The kind of power behind just a single say quantum desktop, if every computer in the world; supercomputers included; and they were all linked to work on one problem say with numbers in the googleplexion range (thats 10 to the 1000 power ) that single quantum desktop could do the problem faster and actually finish it within our lifetimes.

When quantum comps go into practical use they will change the world, we might be able to even solve things like the square root of 2
