can computers run on morse code....?

Question

if a computer can run on binary numbering system could it run on morse code? like instead of sending 1s and 0s it sends actually morse code?

i know computers use binary because it is either no electrical signal for 0 or a electrical signal for 1, but couldnt you do tha with morse code? have the electrical sinal either short or long and no signal for nothing?
or would that be just WAY to complicated for the computer to use and program?


and please do not post saying i dont know or anything like that... i will report you
and please do not post if you dont have a clue about what i am talking about

to Ken H - i reported you

but wouldnt a computer run faster with 0,1, and 2 then it would with 0 and 1 because it you would have smaller 'bytes' because instead of using 8 bits to save one letter, with binary, you could use 4 or so bits to save info with morse code.

Answer 1

Yes it can be done. It requires much more computing power and programming to accomplish. It would not be standard morse code but based on tertiary numbering system(0,1,2) as opposed to binary numbering system(0,1). It was just easier to check state when there were only two states on or off and thats why it is based on binary and not base ten.

Answer 2

logic states can be represented in Morse code just as they can with pretty much any system containing more than one state representation. However, running a machine on such a system would be impractical because in Morse code the states are differentiated by duration rather than by something more immediately measurable like current/no-current.

Answer 3

the problem would be you would have to know the time duration between a dot and a dash, and be able to store that info. The only way I can think of is to save it as 2 bits, but then you are back to binary again...

Answer 4

i think it totally cud but it wud prolly take 15 minutes to load a page with it

Answer 5

NO DUHHH!
