just to explain this to you in simpler terms...

Encryption schemes basically depend on using very large numbers with only 2 prime factors. With classical computers, it's almost impossible to get the 2 prime factors of a very large number (it would take decades/centuries) -- but it's really easy to give you two prime factors and the get the large number. Mathematically:

L= p * q (L = large number; p&q are it's only prime factors)

If I give you L you basically cannot find p&q. If I give you p & q, you can easily find L

BUT... with quantum mechanics, you can very easily find p & q -- that is, you can easily find the prime factors of a large number... IF you can build a quantum computer. The idea behind this is quite simple, but a bit beyond a 'win'-type discussion. 'Verisatium' (youtube) has done a good explanation of "Shor's Algorithm" that explains all of this.

So, basically, if quantum computers are big enough to factor large numbers, then all of encryption is, as said, 'f**ked"

As for P=NP... P=Polynomial; NP=non-Polynomial (polynomial is like 1 +x + x^2 +x^3... etc). P=NP means that Polynomial functions are just as easy to solve as non-polynomial functions. You need to think about this a little bit -- it's not intuitive!!! But, effectively, it means that... as said... factoring a big number into its prime factors (an NP problem) is as simple as factoring a polynomial problem (a P problem). That's exactly what quantum computers can potentially do.

We're a long way from there, though. Personally -- it's a pipe dream.

Keep in mind, though, that the power of the illuminati lies in engineering, not science. An example: I'm fairly certain that a normal aviation company could create a 'stealth bomber', but they would have no reason/financial incentive to do so.

With quantum computing -- people at the universities are struggling to assemble a few dozen qbits, so it would be mind-boggling to think that a few Darpa scientists were 'light years' ahead of them.

More and more I think that the power of the illuminati is simply psychological. They're basically tricking us into killing ourselves.
