@an_unsafe_space Perhaps! Why galaxies have huge black holes at their centres is one thing it'll explore. We don't know what it'll discover.

@Any_yaH Scientists will put the @NASAWebb Telescope in deep space far away from any obstacles. So, the chance of a collision is tiny.

Scientists are currently working on liquid bullet-proof armour that's even stronger than kevlar. Wow! @perimeter #pilive.

@wvasiladiotis Having a room temp superconductor would definitely make quantum computing easier. But it wouldn't necessarily be a magic fix.

@croftandi @Perimeter Perhaps they're linked.There's a theory that says the universe is a giant quantum computer:

@GJanujan @Perimeter Computers that use the power of subatomic particles to be in 2 places at once to make very parallel,powerful computers.

@SirZenon It's hard to say. I don't think we really know exactly how powerful they are. Still trying to figure this out. Still interesting.
