The core of the multi-layer self-contained plasma fusion reaction is the size of a baseball, and the overall size is larger than a basketball, which is visible

The core of the multi-layer self-contained plasma fusion reaction is the size of a baseball, and the overall size is larger than a basketball, which is visible to the naked human eye. What goes on inside of the Intel CPU you specified is not visible to the naked human eye. Considering the scales very obviously involved (if you bothered to look), it's harder to come up with a dumber analogy than the one you presented.

Nah, the analogy is excellent and you are dumb. In both cases you can't see the important parts: calculations/energy conversion, and in both cases you can see the part that doesn't really tell you anything: CPU lid/the colors of the thing. Do you realize how many bright gazzy things have visible layers? Hell, even a match flame has visible layers and is also part plasma.

  You're just digging yourself into a dumber and dumber hole. Analogy is not a substitute for argument. >> In both cases you can't see the important parts: calculations/energy conversion The layers they postulate were very clearly visible to the naked eye. >> Hell, even a match flame has visible layers and is also part plasma. These layers were not postulated. Another analogy. >> Nah, the analogy is excellent and "yaY i WiN", okay champ

        Sorry, you are right. I've been replying in kind instead of just flagging.

  >> even a match flame has visible layers and is also part plasma. I actually do much appreciate that you point this out. A while back working with a group I had pointed out that "fire is a cold plasma" and that there were electrical properties to fire. I got scolded by those of Soyence orthodoxy for saying such things. A US Navy patent reveals a fire-fighting technique that projects an "ionic wind" that "cuts the circuit" at the base of a fire, which had also vindicated what I was talking about.
