At this time, we have to regard the feasibility of pico- and femtocomputing as speculative. But nano-computing will provide massive levels of intelligence, so if it’s at all possible to do, our future intelligence will be likely to figure out the necessary processes. The mental experiment we should be making is not whether humans as we know them today will be capable of engineering pico- and femtocomputing technologies, but whether the vast intelligence of future nanotechnology-based intelligence (which will be trillions of trillions of times more capable than contemporary biological human
