Im too dumb to understand this stuff
No ur not
it sounds more complex than it is. general idea is that everything is a state machine, and the quantum realm is where the set of “allowed” state transitions are explored (hence the name branch-ial, they branch furiously)
where the branches actually move is what “matters” (get it? matter/material world)
time is the weird moment of collapse of the branchial to the material (i think, kinda guesstimating)
quantum computers are clever because in the material world you have to physically explore every path of a problem; the quantum realm of branches moves at a tremendously faster rate comparatively (in path exploration) than materially needing to calculate every state
being able to frame questions such that you can access the branching process of particles is an enormous speed up for searching a problem space
"So how is the effort to try to find a fundamental theory of physics going to work in practice? We plan to have a *centralized* effort that will push forward with the project using essentially the same R&D methods that we’ve developed at Wolfram Research over the past three decades,"
They are going to fail.
