Heisenberg's uncertainty principle should probably be put the rest at this point. From the beginning it was more "capturing" our inability to move beyond the physics as we know it. It's like tying your shoe laces. I alwa

ECC memory can't eliminate the chances of these failures entirely. They can still happen. Making software resilient against bitflips in memory seems very difficult though, since it not only affects data, but also code. So in theory the
