The processor relies on superconductivity, meaning that, at ultracold temperatures, its resistance to electricity all but disappears. Once it is connected, the entire unit is placed inside a cylindrical freezer and cooled for more than a day. Sycamore harnesses some of the weirdest properties of physics in order to perform mathematical operations that contravene all human intuition. The processor, named Sycamore, is a small, rectangular tile, studded with several dozen ports. Bundles of cable snaked down from the top through a series of gold-plated disks to a processor below. It's unlikely that she would have taken that first step towards empowerment without Holland.In the middle of the warehouse floor, an apparatus the size and shape of a ballroom chandelier dangled from metal scaffolding. But there are only fifty states, and it takes an extraordinary amount of drive to become governor of one of them. Almost every high school has an alumnus who has achieved something in art or entertainment, but a lot of people sell one painting or appear in one film and become a hero to their home town. They also exist to give young people an opportunity for change and growth, even if they never use a paintbrush again. Art, music and theater education don't exist solely to create professional artists, musicians and actors.
3) She wasn't "wasting" Holland's efforts by going into politics. Thirty years later she's the governor (not the mayor!), because in 1966, Holland helped her gain confidence for the first time. Did no one else hear her speech about "I just wanted to be good at *something*"? She listed all the fabulous achievements of her parents and siblings, and concluded, "I'm the only one who's." The missing word would have been "useless" or "worthless". 2) Her goal was not to be a professional musician. Then she could, and did, perform in the band without dragging down the whole ensemble.
The idea was to get her just above the level of making a fool of herself as she did the first time he called on her in class. They both knew that she didn't sound professional, and wasn't going to. 1) "Playing the sunset" was Holland's way of getting Gertrude to relax so she could play the notes fluidly.
So many people have complained about the Gertrude Lang character (Alicia Witt), Holland's interaction with her, and the purpose of the character, and I am simply amazed at the hostility.
