Oh well, that should be pretty easy to test.
Yes, if they weren't so secretive about exactly is inside the shielded black-box and its capabilities - not to mention the claims that it utilizes a much-hyped "future tech" that has fundamental physical limitations in scalability beyond rudimentary proof of concept experiments.  As it stands, it's got all the earmarks of a type of scam that's as old as the hills.

Did u read & understand my post?

If they demonstrate capabilities which would require more energy than we currently can utilize in computing it doesn't matter if it is a black box.
They could have a couple of monkeys with typewriters crammed in there for all I care if they do that.
