    Make the physics of this make sense to me, please.

      It's a marketing exercise; the physics are not required to make sense for those. It's the size of a fridge, draws a kilowatt, has four TPUs and can only run for 15 minutes at a time. The physics work for _that_; they just don't give you anything useful.
