If computers communicated with laser light, they’d be billions of years behind mother nature

I was in a coffee shop recently and picked up a recent issue of Scientific American. In it I found yet more evidence that we are building computers and computer networks that are uncannily similar to our own bodies.

The article hailed the arrival of lased silicon. A normal chip in a computer communicates by sending electrons. Scientists have now figured out how to make the silica in a computer chip “lase”. Instead of sending electrons back and forth, it may be possible to design a computer chip that communicates via bursts of laser light.

If true, it could revolutionize the world of computers by making computers hundreds of thousands of times faster and more powerful.

As it turns out, some physicists, including Nobel-Prize Laureate Albert Popp, have theorized that our own cells do the same thing with laser light. It’s called the biophoton effect, and it has been a source of “science of spirit” favorite for years.
