Nie und nimmer gatter - never-ever-gate

00:47:00

I often use this one to find out if the students just memorize or if they really understand the logic. 
If there is a NOT gate, why shouldn't there be a NEVER gate?

Because a never gate is not useful. It has no purpose. As if there's nothing there.

Awesome username, some folks don't even know what that was, just like a NEVER gate

My kid just reminded me of the gate to Never Never Land for Peter Pan would have been a Never Gate, nothing there but a alchohol induced journey.

actually i think quantum logic exists, it works in pairs called qbits or some such. you can't determine the state of a qbit directly, but you can solve the state by the result of its corresponding qbit and brainmelt

Why would you need one? If it never works it would only be a waist on space and energy.

It is just a joke. You can use it to test students if they pay attention.
