And so three people questioned the need for that and came up with the idea of the transistor to amplify current.
And that was the Nobel Prize-winning discovery.
And not just that it was useful to amplify telephone signals, it basically led to the rise of modern computing, and we wouldn't have an iPhone like this today if not for those three people.
You're saying your theory, I mean, not that you believe in it, but your theory is that the transistor was not invented.
Interesting.
The idea that, like, you know, that... Because it definitely feels very disconnected.
Like, okay, like, you were using all these vacuum tubes, and then suddenly you're like, okay, like, what if we just use semiconductors?
Okay, there's definitely...
a pretty far drift from what you're doing currently to what you're supposed to do.
And also the idea of the first transistor and what ended up being used in chips, the junction transistor are quite different too.
So they're like big leaps in terms of what the core idea was.
It's not an incremental change.
The way I thought about it was like, okay, that's like tens of years of work.
And that's why they made a big change.
And so if you actually looked into the individual milestones they had, maybe it would have looked pretty different.
But your conspiracy theory is pretty interesting.
Yeah.
I mean, there's so much information that we just don't have access to.
Yeah.
I mean the government still would have access to things that we human beings wouldn't have access to, like regular people.
