When quantum computing gurus discovered the theory of performing infinite calculations in a single operation, they promised the public everything from nanobots to immortality. A quirk in quantum theory would let us trick reality itself.
But the theory failed in practice. They rechecked the math and it looked fine, but the live computations repeatedly produced garbage output.
Years later, a meta-study revealed something strange in the outputs. The chronologically concatenated results produced a string of 169 repeating bits. It seemed nonsensical until a programmer arranged the sequence in a 13 square grid—to see a perfectly formed angry face emoji.
This little piece is much too clever for me but I really enjoyed it and I learned alot.
I consider it my success, thank you so much for enjoying it.

I LOVED this! 🙂
Thanks! The idea was bugging me and needed to be written.

Really enjoyed this; just the right balance of intellect and emotion.
Thank you for noticing that!
Please give us the sequence! ?

I had to draw it since you asked!
We can only venture so far into the realm of God before access is denied. Is Quantum Theory our new Tower of Babel??
Though that’s what the story implies, I surely hope not, thank you for reading it!

I LOVE the way your mind works! By the way the writing is also pretty good. Thanks for the chuckle…
Thanks so much! Had fun writing it!
Neat
Neatly crafted, ‘neat’ idea.
Thank you for reading neatly.
