The rare stone thing would be better for nuclear power. Find lots of rare stone, put it together in a huge pile, they get warm and cause mysterious diseases.

Silicon is just the base material. The whole process involves a whole bunch of other chemicals, and some of those are made of much rarer stuff than silicon.

Sure, Silicon works as a cheap base. Boron, phosphorus, arsenic and antimony are also used in the process, though. Other elements are also finding use in the process.

There is also a minor error in the middle about the 'sigils'. When scribing process is happening, the other elements are embedded into or deposited onto the substrate between 'scribings'.

I don't think they mean silicon, I think they mean gold, which is also a crucial component to electronics.

Technically correct but just cause there are minerals in the ground doesn’t mean they can be extracted.

Maybe i am wrong but i keep hearing about silicon being harder to come, i suppose op was specifically speaking about the silicon usable for computing.

Care to eli5 what you're talking about?
