quantum computers are said to harness the laws of quantum mechanics to perform certain calculations exponentially faster than today's super computers. Violetta Roar is a 14 and a half year old astrophysics kid from Washington DC. Mecia, if we could calculate all the stuff that's happening there, what a boon that would be to solar physics. So we can predict the next Carrington event when the sun goes berserk and shoots a stromatous corona mass discharge at the planet Earth - causing $2 trillion in property damage. Electrical infrastructure is wiped out by another Carrington event. We're talking about a blackout, a planetary blackout. A planetary blackout where every single nation
