Alternate forms of wireless communication beyond radiowaves?

Does anyone have any idea as to how frequencies, and the radiospectrum can be made obsolete?

 

Smoke signals.

I'm thinking that this spectrum crunch can be solved with a little bit of innovation.

I have several generations of wireless technology planned out for the future, all of which use spectrum.

You should ask Snake Plissken...

Maybe you could create a wireless network that runs on the power of hopes and dreams instead of spectrum. The question is.. Do you believe?

 

The Dream Academy has the "Power to Believe"...

IR?

 

Infrared?  That is still electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves, or however anyone wants to put it.

Oops, I failed to add to my post, I was thinking of "quantum Internet"

I've forgotten what I was going to summerise all of this with.

 

I have a migraine.

 

What I wanted to get at is if "sub-space" communication is actually feasible. Warp drives are feasible.

 

So, are unjammable forms of communication possible, or not?

 

I mean, you gotta' love those Cylons right?

 

How is Resurrection possible without some form of communication that isn't capped at the speed of light?

I am looking for somewhat of an intellectual discussion. Not a donkey-fest.

Sounds like you're down for nerdiness. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

 

Anyways,

The problem is, warp travel is inherently unsafe, and communication through it just as bad. As points within the warp often have little relation to their realspace points, messages between even local star systems can take weeks, while across an entire segmentum could take only a day or so - if you're lucky, of course. Additionally, signal fading is a serious concern, as without enough signal strength, a message will arrive distorted, or not at all. And when you're dealing with things that take at least an hour minimum (say, from a ship in orbit to a planet), you don't really have the luxury of error correction. I'd say, as long as you've got the ability to utilize Vox communications (standard radio waves), go for it.

    • Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!
    • That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.
    • 417.55 MB September security update just downloaded here for S24+ unlocked   Edit:  after Sept security update install, checked and found a 13MB GP System update as well.  Still showing August 1st there however. 
    • T-Mobile is selling the rest of the 3.45GHz spectrum to Columbia Capital.  
    • Still nothing for my AT&T and Visible phones.
