Okay, then can reversible computing really make the energy dissipation of a computation be an arbitrarily small non-zero amount?

Only insofar as the computer can be arbitrarily well isolated from unwanted interactions, errors, and energy leakage (which are all really different ways of describing the same thing). Even a superconducting reversible computer with the best possible thermal insulation still faces the possibility of being struck by a high-energy cosmic ray - or an uncharted asteroid (an asteroid can be thought of as an extremely high-energy cosmic ray). Even if you bury the computer at the center of a cold planet, a black hole could always swing through the solar system and swallow it up.

Objects like rouge black holes passing through can be viewed as merely a very extreme variety of thermal noise, one which illustrates the impossibility of ever getting rid of unwanted interactions completely. Even with total control over the state of the universe, there will always a small residual rate of quantum tunneling out of any non-equilibrium state space. However, it might be possible that as the universe ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
