gollark: But I don't think you can get around the heat issue because of annoying physical laws, even if you move computers onto photonics or something so they do not deal with pesky electricity.
gollark: Also, as I said (prompting this discussion), current computers take time to do things, draw electricity, emit EM radiation, etc.

gollark: You may laugh, but side channel attacks are a real and problematic thing!
