Quantum computers make it practical for us to solve problems at much faster speeds, but at what cost? Quantum computers change the quantum state of particles in parallel universes, and likewise quantum computers in other universes change the quantum state of particles in our Universe. What is the effect of this? We should expect to see random otherwise unexplainable changes, and that’s exactly what we’ve seen over the last 10 years, it’s called the “Mandela Effect.” But despite the name referring to an important historic figure most “mandela effects” are tiny almost insignificant changes such as the spelling of The Bernstein Bears or the presence of a Cornucopia in Fruit of the Loom logo, the kind of thing that quantum changes could alter. I realize this is probably too far out there for most Hacker News readers and I’ll get down-voted for it, but I believe there may be a real danger here, and it’s something we need to watch out for as we develop quantum computers further. If we don’t take the threat seriously the Universe we live in now may become different from the one we remember, and we will need to provide safe-guards to retain the consistency of our Universe.
