How do Computers do math with humongous numbers so quickly?
In: Technology
Electric currents move really really fast. When you tell a computer to do some math, what you are actually doing is tipping over a few specific “dominoes” that knock over a bunch of other dominoes in a specific way that the last dominoes to fall spell out the answer. The dominoes are electrons. The computer isn’t thinking it’s just electrons moving around in a well designed way so that they return the correct answer when all is said and done.
