No big deal.

It's just a bunch of rice, right?

And so it turns out when the wise man won, by the time you get to two to the 64, because there's 64 squares on the chessboard, that basically it was more rice than would fit in all of India.

That's an exponential problem.

It just grows so fast.

And the reason it grows is there are too many possibilities.

But now this new thing called a qubit is coming along, and the qubit has both possibilities at the same time.

So if you have 64 bits and you take all the possible values of those 64 bits, you've got the same number of possibilities as the grains of rice we talked about.

It's 2 to the 64.

It's a very big number.

It's 18 quintillion, right, is the number.

There's a game called No Man's Sky.

I don't know if you ever played it.

So it became famous because it was one of the first games to have an almost infinite number of planets.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was kind of boring at first.

I mean, I haven't played it in a while.

I just kind of looked at it.

But it procedurally generates everything for you because there's no way a team of – like I was in the video game industry, right?

There's no way a team could create 18 quintillion worlds.
