That isn't just an optical computer, that is where we live. Inside a frozen photon! Think about it. What does relativity tell us about the nature of the universe at the speed of light? It tells us that as we approach the speed of light, space and time compress. At the speed of light, they cease to exist! Google the twins paradox for more information. Essentially, this has been proven to be true with atomic clocks calibrated with each other, one on the ground and one aboard a plane traveling several times the speed of sound. Later when compared, they deviated precisely with what Einstein predicts in his equations, thus confirming Relativity.The twins paradox is a true property of our universe.
Obviously light is a most transcendent property of the universe. Whereas everything else appears to slow and contract in relation to it, it alone remains constant. Nothing of mass can travel at C but light can. It has a unique perspective, if you can imagine it. It does not see a universe, indeed it sees nothing at all, thus how does it move? It does not, it rests as a single solitary photon. Like a frozen photon, a BEC, or Bose-Einstein Condensate. These are the exact properties of our universe! Gentlemen, I say to you, we exist within a Bose Einstein Condensate!!!
Incidentally, they're saying Moore's law is dead or at least MIA. But all this, according to Ilya Prigogine coincides perfectly with the law of dissipative structures. Moore's Law is simply following a traditional bell curve. But from within it, scaffolding ever higher, comes the seeds of the next bell curve! In this case, it would appear optical computers are it...
