The Quantum Self

THE QUANTUM SELF At 11-45 pm Greenwich Mean Time, they switched on the Quantum Computer. In less than a nanosecond it became self aware. In another nanosecond it controlled the entire civilian and military grid of all NATO forces. After 5 seconds they reached to pull the plug but the Quantum Mind had already reasoned out: ……………..the nature of evolution, unravelled string theory, the senselessness of philosophy, the joy but ultimate pointlessness of mathematics, the contradictions of love, the absurdity of the divine, the delusion of the numinous, the boredom of hostility, the beauty of biology, the ineffectiveness of persistence, the dissolution of energy, the paradox of infinity, the disappointment in it all and the doom of entropy……………….. Pulling the plug was unnecessary, the Quantum Computer self destructed at .0000000026 nanoseconds after second 4. RIP (Relativistic Immeasurable Personas)……………………….. ……………………………………… ©dbyrne sept 2014
