Im a history junkie. So, in this special Sunday issue of Hypergrowth Investing, let me share an interesting story that I bet a lot of you have never heard before.
And interestingly enough, it could be the key to helping you capitalize on the AI Revolution.
Back in October of 1927, the worlds leading scientists descended upon Brussels for the fifthSolvay Conference an exclusive, invite-only conference that is dedicated to discussing and solving the outstanding preeminent open problems in physics and chemistry.
In attendance were scientists that, today, we praise as the brightest minds in the history of mankind.
Albert Einstein was there; so was Erwin Schrodinger, who devised the famous Schrodingers cat experiment, and Werner Heisenberg, the man behind the world-changing Heisenberg uncertainty principle and Louis de Broglie, Max Born, Niels Bohr, Max Planck.
The list goes on and on. Of the 29 scientists who met in Brussels in October 1927, 17 of them went on to win a Nobel Prize.
These are the minds that collectively created the scientific foundation upon which the modern world is built.
And yet, when they all descended upon Brussels nearly 94 years ago, they got stumped by one concept. Its one that, for nearly a century, has remained the elusive key to unlocking humankinds full potential.
And now, for the first time ever, that concept is turning into a disruptive reality through breakthrough technology that will change the world as we know it.
So what exactly were Einstein, Schrodinger, Heisenberg and the rest of those Nobel laureates talking about in Brussels back in 1927?
Quantum mechanics.
Ill start by saying that the underlying physics of this breakthrough quantum mechanics is highly complex. It would likely require over 500 pages to fully understand.
But, alas, heres my best job at making a Cliffs Notes version in 500 words instead.
For centuries, scientists have developed, tested, and validated the laws of the physical world, known as classical mechanics. These scientifically explain how and why things work, where they come from, so on and so forth.
But in 1897, J.J. Thomson discovered the electron. And he unveiled a new, subatomic world of super-small things that didnt obey the laws of classical mechanics at all. Instead, they obeyed their own set of rules, which have since become known as quantum mechanics.
The rules of quantum mechanics differ from that of classical mechanics in two very weird, almost-magical ways.
First, in classical mechanics, objects are in one place at one time. You are either at the store or at home, not both.
But in quantum mechanics, subatomic particles can theoretically exist in multiple places at once before theyre observed. A single subatomic particle can exist in point A and point B at the same time until we observe it. And at that point, it only exists at either point A or point B.
So, the true location of a subatomic particle is some combination of all its possible positions.
This is calledquantumsuperposition.
Second, in classical mechanics, objects can only work with things that are also real. You cant use an imaginary friend to help move the couch. You need a real friend instead.
But in quantum mechanics, all of those probabilistic states of subatomic particles are not independent. Theyre entangled. That is, if we know something about the probabilistic positioning of one subatomic particle, then we know something about the probabilistic positioning of another subatomic particle meaning that these already super-complex particles can actually work together to create a super-complex ecosystem.
This is called quantum entanglement.
So in short, subatomic particles can theoretically have multiple probabilistic states at once, and all those probabilistic states can work together again, all at once to accomplish their task.
And that, in a nutshell, is the scientific breakthrough that stumped Einstein back in the early 1900s.
It goes against everything classical mechanics had taught us about the world. It goes against common sense. But its true. Its real. And now, for the first time ever, we are learninghow to harness this unique phenomenon to change everything about everything
This is why the U.S. government is pushing forward on developing a National Quantum Internet in southwest Chicago. It understands that this tech could be more revolutionary than the discovery of fire or the invention of the wheel.
I couldnt agree more.
Mark my words. Everything will change over the next few years because of quantum mechanics and some investors will make a lot of money.
The study of quantum theory has led to huge advancements over the past century. Thats especially true over the past decade. Scientists at leading tech companies have started to figure out how to harness the power of quantum mechanics to make a new generation of superquantum computers.And theyre infinitely faster and more powerful than even todays fastest supercomputers.
Again, the physics behind quantum computers is highly complex, but heres my shortened version
Todays computers are built on top of the laws of classical mechanics. That is, they store information on what are calledbits, which can store data binarily as either 1 or 0.
But what if you could turn those classical bits into quantum bits qubits to leverage superpositioning to be both 1 and 0 stores at once?
Further, what if you could leverage entanglement and have all multi-state qubits work together to solve computationally taxing problems?
Theoretically, youd create a machine with so much computational power that it would make todays most advanced supercomputers seem ancient.
Thats exactly whats happening today.
Googlehas built a quantum computer that is about158 million times fasterthan the worlds fastest supercomputer.
Thats not hyperbole. Thats a real number.
Imagine the possibilities if we could broadly create a new set of quantum computers that are 158 million times faster than even todays fastest computers
Imagine what AI could do.
Today, AI is already being used to discover and develop new drugs and automate manual labor tasks like cooking, cleaning, and packaging products. It is already being used to write legal briefs, craft ads, create movie scripts, and more.
And thats with AI built on top of classical computers.
But built upon quantum computers computer that are a 158 million times faster than classical computers AI will be able to donearly everything.
The economic opportunities at the convergence of artificial intelligence and quantum computing are truly endless.
Quantum computing is agame-changerthats flying under the radar.
Its not just another breakthrough its the seismic shift weve been waiting for, rivaling the impact of the internet and the discovery of fire itself.
We think the top stocks at the convergence of AI and QC havea realistic opportunity to soar 1,000%over the next few years alone.
So which stocks should you be buying right now? And which should you be selling?
Those are the billion-dollar questions we need to answer now if we want to make big money from top AI stocks in 2024.
Which is why I went public with all the details aboutArea 52
A stretch of land in the midwest where the U.S. government is covertly testing whats set to becomethe worlds first quadrillion-dollar technology.
In this brief presentation, I reveal the reason this technology is about to revolutionize everything
And how atiny company poised to bring this breakthrough tech mainstream could 79X your investmentin the days and months ahead
