Parias Posted May 25, 2001 Report Posted May 25, 2001 Great... so now we'll have l33t h@x0r script kiddies who can't be touched because they're living in a secluded tunnel somewhere on the dark side of Mars..........Of course, first said script kiddie has to GET to Mars somehow first...

Guest Posted May 25, 2001 Report Posted May 25, 2001 This night sound a little out there, but for interplanetary internet, we need to study quantum physics a little more and faster then light particles. Some say that these particles are so fast that they are in a new place before they leave the old one. Don't know, but these type of particles, if controlled and changed, like radio, could create a real time communications system with no lag at all. A nice thought, but that is pie in the sky, the system they are talking about is not.

Starfighter08 Posted June 5, 2001 Report Posted June 5, 2001 Guess with today's tech, lag would be prohibitive hight. So no playing bcm with the martians, lol. This system certainly helps keeping in touch with probes, as long as it doesn't mix up yards and meters (where did I get that idea? well anyway....)[ 06-05-2001: Message edited by: Starfighter08 ]

Starfighter08 Posted June 6, 2001 Report Posted June 6, 2001 I know, I just couldn't resist. Sometimes the need to be sarcastic is just too strong
