Will we ever have Super computers like a Hal 9000 or better?

will computers ever be able to figure out lifes greatest mysteries-like how the universe was formed

We already have better. Hal was a red light and nine volt battery for cryin out loud.

Seriously. Deep Thought is a Russian supercomputer that figures out a but-load of stuff. Trouble is, it can only crunch the numbers you put in. It would take 33,500 years to punch in all the data about the universe for it to even start finding an answer. I already know the the answer to the ultimate question about life, the universe, and everything. The answer is 42. The question? Ahh, that will take 33,500 years to figure out.

The current generation of computers is much more sophisticated than HAL9000 was imagined to be. Most of the concepts of computing and the use of computers have changed so radically since the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" was filmed that we can't remember what they were thinking.

Remember that when the art department dreamed up HAL9000, computers used punched cards and drum memories. The whole concept is different now.

"Mysteries" like how the universe was formed, which is really not all that mysterious, are really not subject to computational solution, and computers have proved notoriously bad at that kind of generalized thinking. Computers are helpful tools for modelling and database building, but they are not philosophers.
Hal 9000 was activated in 1991(as he said), and he was capable of speech, and had the capacity to run a huge space ship. We have small computers now that can hear and use human speech and can run huge machinery and whole factories. Judging from the section where he was disconnected Hal must have been a computer that would fill whole rooms like computers in the day when 2001 the movie was made. Considering how small computers have gotten, Hal seems to have more computing capacity than he really needed for the job he had. It's unlikely we would ever send a huge CRAY supercomputer into a spacecraft. Our new Orion spacecraft will be autonomous. Able to maintain itself in orbit around the Moon without humans aboard. The brains of the spacecraft are computers that are coming off the shelf by way of the Boeing 777.

Computers are tools. Tools are created to be used and not really designed to answer questions of the unknown.

YES, IN THE NEAR FUTURE IF THE GOVERNMENT DOESNT STOP EXAMINING OUR EVERY MOVES

how do you think they find fugitives?

huh?

my reason makes sense....
