Today's fastest parallel computing operations are capable of teraflop speeds. Scientists have begun to envision computers operating at petaflop speeds

True, BUT, who is going to build that many uberpowered test computers. No one. Now if you were networking these as a supercomp setup, you might have enough to use it in a home, or office. BUT, the amounts needed for high volume bathing, cooking, wouldn't be there. You could run the water out of the machines, into a copper floor radiant heat system. BUT, You'd need to insulate the ping system and use a very complex routing system too. NOT really cost effective. Sorry!

You can spend even more minutes looking up stuff on your own, or you can continue to believe the man made global warming!

Science can't even decide if eggs are good for you this year, let alone cyclical climate.
