Relativistic Computers

The physical hardware designed to operate reliably under the extreme conditions required for relativistic computing. These aren't just silicon in a fancy box; they must be engineered to withstand incredible gravitational tidal forces, acceleration stresses, and the bizarre energy environments near massive objects. Their architecture might use light-based processors to avoid issues with electron flow under relativistic conditions, and they require paradox-proof communication systems to send data back to a slower-timed frame without losing sync.
*Example: "My new gaming rig is a relativistic computer. I had it installed on a drone ship doing a continuous 0.5c boost-brake loop. In-game latency is zero, because by the time my input reaches it, the entire next frame is already calculated. The electricity bill is mostly rocket fuel."* Relativistic Computers
