(29,166 posts)I'm going to build the world's first true exaflop supercomputer (1,000,000,000,000,000,000 floating point operations per second), solar powered (or wind, or both) and use it to solve the issue of HOW to geo-engineer a solution to global warming. This means modeling the earth and it's chemistry along with the proposed Trillion dollar ( possibly 20 Trillion dollar ) plan to remove excess CO2 and methane before it makes the globe "not as friendly" as it is today ( or was in, say, 1900 ) for humans and other animals and wildlife.
Modeling the results for at least 100 years into the future.
And, if there is any computing capacity left over... start looking for a "cure" for cancer ( probably millions of "cures" that are unique to each individual and type of cancer )
Should cost around $1 Billion... including the building the house it, the solar and wind power to run it, and operational costs for 5 years or so.
May need to get some additional funding from people like Gates or Bezos, etc.
