Simple Computation Using Dominos

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the houses-of-cards dept.

An anonymous reader writes "When silicon fails to beat Moores law, maybe dominos can help. This guy has created a half adder in dominos as a proof of concept for domino computation. If he intends to make a full domino computer he's going to need an awful lot of dominos."

    And now, I'm going to say something really stupid, and I don't quite understand why what I'm about to say is stupid. Here goes:

    "He didn't build a domino computer, he just has a domino setup whose results under one interpretation coincide with what a half-adder gives you. It's trivial to build any kind of mechanism that can do this."

    Now, rhetorically bitch-slap me.
