What makes you think someone won’t manage to develop a performant large-scale quantum computer in the next hundred years? Just 90 years ago standard computers were still more or less electromechanical arithmetic machines.
Are you psychic or clairvoyant? What makes you think you have any idea what I think? Who is this person that tries to put word in my mouth and thoughts in my head?
What makes you think that heffalumps and woozles won’t be discovered in the next hundred years?
