Google’s new quantum AI chip suggests existence of multiple universes
The new quantum chip code-named ‘Willow’ developed by search engine giant Google suggests that multiple parallel universes exist and “we as humans live in a multiverse.”
Hartmut Neven, the inventor of Google Quantum AI, claimed in his blog post that this device must have borrowed computational power from other universes because it was so incredibly fast.
According to Neven, a calculation that would take 1025 or 10 septillion years to complete on one of the fastest supercomputers in use today was completed in less than five minutes by the quantum device.

He claims that this astounding figure much surpasses the age of the cosmos and established physics timelines.
Neven wrote in his blog post; ‘‘Willow’s performance on this benchmark is astonishing: It performed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 1025 or 10 septillion years. If you want to write it out, it’s 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.
‘‘This mind-boggling number exceeds known timescales in physics and vastly exceeds the age of the universe. It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch.
