| Post subject: | Neutrino telecommunications |
A group of scientists has managed to send a message using neutrinos for the first time: http://www.rochester.edu/news/show.php?id=4022 Compared to sound or electromagnetic waves (including light) this has many advantages as neutrinos can travel through almost anything (including whole planets!). Of course, practical applications are a bit far into the future yet, but it looks promising. For example, a neutrino signal could travel thought a very intense storm without distortions. I remember an episode in TNG where La Forge was trapped in the surface of a planet along with a Romulan and in the end managed to send a signal using neutrons instead of regular E/M waves. Of course a neutron is very different from a neutrino (the former is a hadron the latter a lepton) but the idea is similar Some info on neutrinos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrinos |

I would have responded sooner but I was trying to do it with neutrinos.

I know people that can find fault with what I am doing even before I do it. If that is not faster than the speed of light then what the hey.

Ha! Hehehehehe Isn't that the truth. The proof has been with us all along.
