Disembodied Brain Goes Airborne

EXO BRAIN DISEMBODIED WILL GO AIRBORNE
It will take at least two weeks and a trip to China to retrieve the disembodied EXO portion of the Big Brain. It will then travel by jet aircraft, personally monitored, in disassembled pieces to it's new location.

This is part of a new program to fully assemble the disembodied brain in one location, to readily facilitate the next move in an effort to make the Big Brain more portable and easier to move, and create new built-in characteristics of mobility.

There's an increasing demand of the Big Brain for processing power and control, and in an effort to increase the magnitude of the Big Brain, all its components will need to function in one place of space time. Most remaining labs will remain open for R&D. Consolidation will be a future topic. The Big Brain has moved seven times and is an international project.

The BIG Brain is currently functioning without the EXO, by using its Right Brain and Left Brain sections which contain enhanced Propeller chip Arrays and AMD streaming processors. This currently leaves enough remaining brain power to run the new NULT 945-inch Telescope and the new Universe Penetrator.

The Big Brain EXO is made from 100% Parallax processors. The isolated EXO Brain section currently has a total of 21,000 enhanced Propeller VP processors, 168 Propeller Cog processors, and several host processors. Predominantly Propeller chip driven, it owes the majority of its processing and controlling power to enhanced Parallax Propeller chips.

Big Brain Survives Airport Security

It took 6 pieces of luggage to ship part of the Big Brain
SURVIVING AIRPORT SECURITY
Airport Security, I'm telling you, it's not a bomb!!!

The Left Brain and the Right Brain sections were taken through airport security yesterday. There was some concern about both sections. The right brain was packaged inside an oversized box and created overweight while not fitting any of the specifications of a carry on item. The left brain looked like a bomb with its Propeller arrays of wired boards!

After some bargaining with airport managers, and the offering of money, the right brain in the oversized and overweight box was allowed on the plane as a carry on. This was good luck and undoubtedly due to to some bargaining finesse, and money. Inside the jet aircraft, the Boeing 747 was retrofitted with some very large overhead luggage compartments and the Big Right Brain box fit in just fine.

Next up, the left brain, which was packed into a large brown taped box, was taken specifically to special airport operations check in which is located at a separate location from regular check through luggage, where it was x-rayed for content. I was worried sick. All those arrays and wires and chips and metal contact points from the many large solderless breadboards would certainly bring forth alarms. Fears being allayed, Airport security simply said "Data?" The reply was "yes." ... and it went through... (Sometimes the more agreeable you can be and the less you say are your greatest assets.)

Upon arrival at destination, the Big Left Brain brown "Data" box promptly appeared on the luggage carrousel, thus alleviating a lot of worry about the safety and transport of the Big Brain. Many of the smaller Big Brain siblings (children) were packed in the standard check through luggage and these went through fine, with no questions asked.
