42 THE MIRACLE OF ELECTRICITY IN THE BODY

The supercomputer named
“Sunway TaihuLight” in China

ity. When they are assembled they form a supercomputer called the
brain. At the time this book is being updated for a new edition (as of
December 2016) the fastest known "supercomputer" is located in China
named "Sunway TaihuLight." This supercomputer is the first of its kind
said to reach the estimated processing capacity of the human brain. 27
However, compared to the average brain volume of 1.4cm 3 28 , it has
3
a volume of 2 billion cm . 29 In other words, 1.5 billion human brains
could fit into the space that the supercomputer requires.
The human brain is superior in terms of energy consumption as
30
well. The Chinese supercomputer consumes 16mW of energy, which is
400,000 times more than that is used by the human nervous system.
Even with their years’ of experience, and ongoing research involv-
ing thousands of scientists they were only able to imitate one attribute of
the human brain, albeit in a primitive way. Of course, more successful
and powerful imitations of neurotransmitters may be developed in the
future. However, the supercomputer development history provides
clear evidence that the human brain could not have come into existence
by Darwinian mechanisms.
