While optical data communications are well established – think “The Internet” — it’s early going for computing based on light waves. Lightmatter is one of a few that have created photonic arrays capable of computation and matched with layers of digital and analog electronics that take care of much of the activity auxiliary to such computation. I wrote about this recently on the Progressive Gauge site > > > https://progressivegauge.com/2022/02/19/electro-photonic-computing-gets-2-8-m-iarpa-boost/

  You can start the movie (at left) - then start the soundtrack (at right). These windows can spawn to YouTube where you can adjust sound on/off up/down.  And that really is the best way to experience SurrounHoroVision Godzilla, you may recall, lived in a cave at the bottom of the sea. But his ecosystem was disrupted by H-Bomb testing, so he ravaged the Island of Japan. Euro Intellectuals think this whole Godzilla is an invention of inner angst among the Japan human population. How little they know of the wisdom of Long-View Indigenousity. The H-Bomb and Godzilla hovered over my youth. Godzilla went back to the sea, and the H-Bomb went into computer simulation. As Russia masses troops on Ukraine border, Godzilla stirs! - Jack Vaughan

This is a riff on review of Edison by Morris elsewhere on this and my ProgressiveGauge site.   At about the age of 10, Edison goes to the creek with young friend George Lockwood, who disappears in the eddies to drown. Edison observes the creek water for a long time, maybe rapt by the dying Lockwood’s breath bubbles. At last, after the long wait for Lockwood to surface, Edison finally goes home to dinner and to bed without telling anyone about the event. Meanwhile, a party searches for Lockwood – eventually they come to hear Edison’s story of his drowning. Self-taught polymath,  noted as a man of amazing concentration.  He could look intently at what was there and was able to uncover deep first principles  as he tinkered with pieces of  metal, carbon, vulcanite, lamp black  and assorted materials. More than that,  he had a gift for  imaginative re-application of principles  to conjure new products,  and improve on existing successes....
