    If there was such a thing, the person who has it will be bankrupt instantly powering it up from electricity bills, as well as completely and utterly disrupting the national grid. But lets say people found a way to power it indefinitly…


    I’ll get back to that later. Right now, how powerful a cpu is (for those who don’t know, a cpu is short for Central Processing Unit, which takes care of any task someone gives it) from how quickly it can solve a task and how many tasks it can do at once. Lets take a very good and powerful consumer cpu: intel i7 9700k. it has 8 cores and 8 threads, and its base clock is 3.6 ghz with a turbo clock of 4.9 ghz. Unless you understand cpu cores, threads, and clock speed, you will have no clue what im talking about. Some definitions you will need to know (they arent great definitions, but will get the job done. If you want to know the full definitions of these, search up on google):


    # of cores: how many different tasks a cpu can focus on at once


    # of threads: many tasks have many threads that a cpu will have to work on. Most cpu cores can only work on one thread at a time, then move onto the next one. But some cpus (like intel i9 9900k) have double the amount of threads that cores, which means that each core can process 2 threads at once. That is called hyperthreading. The number of threads can only be equal or double the number of cores (but in the future that might change).


    Base/Turbo clock speed: using the i7 9700k example again, it has a base clock of 3.6 ghz and a boost clock of 4.9 ghz as mentioned above. A clock of a cpu is how many times a second it runs (Hz). So a clock of 2 ghz is a cpu running 2,000,000,000 a second. The base clock is how fast a cpu runs when at idle, or when the pc is not running any cpu demanding application. This is to save electricity and the lifetime of the core, not stressing it constantly. But if the pc needs extra perfomance cpu-wise, then the cpu will turbo to a higher clock speed, slowly increasing until it hits 4.9 ghz, which is the highest it can turbo.



    Right, back onto the topic. So, just to give you an idea of how powerful, a cpu with infinite power is… erm, well, it has infinite power. Because a cpu with infinite power is kinda hard to compare with something, I’ll start with the most powerful cpu currently and slowly increase the power…


    AMD EPYC 7601:

    The most powerful server grade cpu on the market, priced at $3000, the AMD EPYC 7601has a whopping 32core count, and 64 threads. With a base clock of 2.2 ghz and a turbo of 3.2 for up to 12 cores, it isn’t gonna be great at gaming, but it won’t be great for gaming, but the best for servers and multipule people using extremely complicated tasks.


    What if we tried for more power?


    Now lets say we double the core count and threads, as well as making the clock speed to 6 ghz. The result is a cpu with 64 cores and 128 threads. This would be nearly impossible to cool normally, as getting a clock speed of 6 ghx would meant the whole cpu cooled to at least -110 degrees celcius. But disregarding that impossibility, that cpu would allow about 16 people playing minecraft and blowing up alot tnt at once, with just a bit of lag.


    What if we tried more power?


    Now, whe are gonna make the core count to 150, with 300 threads, and the clock speed to 10 ghz. That would meant cooling a cpu to about -200 degrees celcius to get that clock speed (theoretically). This is he same as about 20 nitrogen cooled intel i9 9900k s, all running at max capacity.


    What if we tried more power?


    So lets make a jump to 500 cores aand 1000 threads, with a clock speed of 20 ghz. This would need to be constantly at almost absolute zero (273.15 degrees celcius) for it to run. The power of this is so big its like running a whole serverful of skyblockers (750 people) without any lag, even if everyone started exploding tnt at once.


    What if we tried more power?


    Now we are going for higher jumps, so jumping all the way to 5000 cores and double that number of threads, with a clock speed of 50 ghz. If this was to run, it could in theory calculate 500 trillion calculations in one second. There is no way this would work, but if it did… It would be about the equivialant of 2450 AMD EPYC 7601s.


    What if we tried more power?


    Well, if we made a huge jump to 1 million cores (I was getting tired so I cba to make smaller jumps soz) and double that threads, with a clock speed of 200 ghz. The computing power would be 4 hundrend QUINTILLION processes a second (4 with 20 zeros after it). BUT, it still hasn’t beaten the worlds most powerful supercomputer on earth, Sunway TaihuLight in china, which has 93 quadrillion processes per second.


    What if we tried more power?


    Well… lets say that you had a cpu with 1 billion cores and double that threads, and also with 1000 ghz clock speed. That would have 2 quadrillion process per second. Still, the Sunway TaihuLight is more powerful by about 45 and a half times…


    What if we tried more power?


    So. The worlds most powerful cpu… I present you (drumroll please)… The SuperNova Lite CPU, launching in the year 4034 ! In just 2013 years, you could get yourself the newest and most powerful cpu ever! With 5 billion cores and 10 billion threads, as well as 5000 ghz clock speed, we are proud to say that it has 10 septillionas clock speed (1026)… and god help the person with that electricity bill…


    Thank you for reading, please like this post, it took me 2 hrs of typing and research :)

    If Frxxn was surrounded my llamas:

    (Setting: in Frxxn's bedroom)

    Frxxn: why are there llamas surrounding me?

    Llamas: (stare at him)

    Frxxn; ANSWER ME goddamit

    llamas: (continue to stare at him)

    Frxxn: ...

    Llamas: (still staring at him)

    Frxxn: Flip you Arceus why did you ask that pointless question that got llamas staring at me in my BEDROOM?

    Llamas: (staring at him)

    Frxxn: GODDAMIT ARceus, get rid of these Godforsaken LLAMAAAAAS

    Arceus: No.

    Frxxn: ...

    Llamas: (still staring)


    THE END

    Please don't take seriously XD, just a made up story by me :p

    If he does eat part of the sun (like this):
    [​IMG]

    Then the explosion would be massive, sending large streams of hot plasma millions of degrees hot hundreds of kilometers into space. The radiation would also be massive, but I couldn't find how it would immediately affect earth, but knows that almost all living creatures on one side of earth (the one facing the sun) will definitely die. And also, Reformations would not just die, but get fully and utterly vaperised instantly after he swallowed (if he did not die already before he even took a bite). So make sure it is midnight for you before you ask Reformations to consume the sun. :)

    So, first of all, the chances that noobcrew would allow this is literally nil, but if he did...

    First of all, im gonna be changing the server to 1.14, just cuz 0-tick farms are way too op (if you don't know what 0-tick farms are, link at the bottom), and ive wanted to build one on skyblock for way too long.

    Also, im gonna add the end, but everyone has a different end (different world), and not in the same world. This way elytra and shulker boxes is gonna be way easier to get and no-ones just gonna take everything from everyone else.

    The Nether is not gonna be reset, and everyone's nether is a different world, so no one can clash, and also so I can build huge nether farms in peace :D

    Tnt dupers will also be allowed, cuz then we can all make auto cobble and wood farms, which would be op (but also break the economy). (if you don't know what tnt dupers are, link at bottom)

    And iron farms with villagers would also be allowed, cuz im always in need of iron and never enough of them.

    And no limit to hoppers, cuz pain in the arse to limit yourself from building that many.

    and that's it. :D

    I hope this thread is xkcd inspired.

    What if the ocean rises 50 feet tomorrow? Which cities are lost? Which countries no longer exist?

    What if the atmospheric oxygen amount increased by 0.001% every time earth rotates, until the atmosphere is 99.999999999% oxygen, then reverts back to normal (relatively speaking) within three minutes?
    *normal being the earth's atmospheric composition in October 2019
    *earth rotation used instead of "day" for accuracy and to avoid further Gregorian calendar adjustments when dealing with such a large time frame


    What is the effect on environment & ecology, and humans & other animals? What is the effect on human structures? What happens after the revert?

    my favorite one
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    What if the gulf stream completely dissipated within a month? What would the environmental, political, and economical consequences be? What about agriculture?

    Moreover, what if the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation completely dissipates?
    * Does this mean that UK Weather could get even worse?! Impossible!

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    What if the US Dollar completely lost its value within 1 hour? What would the initial actions and reactions be, how would the world and the markets react?
    * the reason for the value loss is government internal, yet no statement or reason is ever released.

    Cite sources, and enjoy :)

    Wikipedia is entirely built around citations of sources. In their own statement on article writing guidelines they say they delete hundreds of good articles per day because they don't have respectable and/or enough sources, even if they are well structured and written. If you source something from Wikipedia, you might as well use the sources Wikipedia uses and values. (bottom of Wikipedia page, cited in numbers in text)
