On slowing the speed f light.
- On Moore's Law
- From Pfister, _In search of Clusters_
- It MAY end in 2010
- Cost of chip factories doubles every 3 years.
- Too few electrons to detect
- Effects of quantum mechanics
- Electrons go where they can't go.
- Electrons are in two places at once.
- Pfister doesn't beleive it because:
- About 60% of the 154% growth has been due to size changes,
algorithms, techniques, and other such changes have done the
rest.
- It has been predected before, but was not true then.
- It is a long time from now, and we will find a soultiong.
- Others suggest
- Increasing chip width .
- Increasing chip thickness.
- New technologies.
