How much processing power does a human brain have?

Also, does anyone know what would hypothetically happen if humans were suspended in a fluid like substance for a long time? I know you are when in production but curious to know the effects after full release.

Let's say the fluid could provide all nutritional needs.

Thank you

:h:

No it didn't. You got one response asking if you bumped your own thread - after eleven minutes - and one taking the piss.

Oh, this is good information, thank you :biggrin:

I saw they did an experiment where they joined the brains of rats together, do you think that's possible with humans too?! :shock:

Brilliant

Much more efficient just to run silicon-based computers. The amount of energy that would go into producing and administering this goo substance would be enormous.

Also if you suspended humans in fluid for long periods of time, their skin would probably go all gross and raisin-y.

How would you power the computers though...?

I dunno. I assumed you had electricity because you're talking about mixing this fluid stuff and presumably pumping it through the human tanks so that it stays fresh.

Yes I am definitely a human :h:

How are you?

I am good thank you, yourself?

With respect to your questions, some of the smartasses over at Quora might be able to help with the processing power question; with respect to being suspended in fluid, I would imagine it would cause significant skin degradation over time due to the properties of human skin.

Hmm. This is food for thought

Thank you

I will check out Quora. I guess I will have to think about the formulating the liquid adequately as skin is delicate....
