Fantastic idea... Now I'm gonna start thinking about what dumping heat into a 4th dimension might mean realistically... We need the heat to leave without the chip getting in the way. If we can make chips that are transparent to IR, maybe they can radiate energy from their volume directly.

Going to keep thinking about this. Could adding an impossible dimension be Triz 41? Maybe when we get to Triz 42 we'll figure out how to stop fighting over meaningless stuff as a species.

Edit: It's actually just Triz 17(another dimension)

Is't heat accumulation over time already dumping heat in the 4th dimension?

Is emitting infrared light really enough to cool a chip? How do you ensure enough is emitted that the chip doesn't just both get hot and emit IR?

Silicon is already transparent for IR. Visibly that's not enough to cool chips.
