AJC1973 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Oops, I failed to add to my post, I was thinking of "quantum Internet" Intro Article:http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/17/electromagnetically-induced-transparency-could-create-a-quantum/ Recent Articles:http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/06/quantum-encrypted-internet-los-alamos/http://mobile.theverge.com/2013/5/6/4306188/quantum-network-los-alamos-2-years-transmit-video-realtime 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? Well are still talking about electromagnetic spectrum.. Whether its infrared or ultraviolet. Or everything in between its still going to be limited to its specific spectrum and a crunch as more frequencies are involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works on the assumption that subspace exists, and we don't know if it does or not. The warp drives that are being theorized about now would not work by pushing a ship out of normal spacetime into something like subspace, but rather by manipulating existing spacetime to propel a ship by expanding/contracting the spacetime around the ship. A communications signal isn't accompanied by any energy source or device that would manipulate space, so it would be stuck at the speed of light. A wormhole could act as a gateway for signals just like it can for matter, but that's contingent on the existence of a wormhole with openings at the right points and exotic matter, which we theorize to exist but which has yet to be proven in the real world. Quantum entanglement on the other hand is a real, possible solution. We've seen it in action but because we don't understand the underlying mechanics of it, it's hard to say what the limitations are and how it would be used in faster than light communication. Something that I don't know the answer to, as I'm not very informed on the topic, but might be out, is whether or not two particles have to be 'born' - or created together for them to be entangled. If that's the case, then for this to be useful as a communication device, the two entangled particles would have to be created in one place, Earth for instance, and another placed on a vessel, which could then theoretically travel anywhere in the universe and instantly be able to communicate its change in state to its partner on Earth. With enough particles and the direction of the spin indicating a binary like 0/1 system, it could be used for communication, and this is how current quantum computers work (I believe). The issue with that is that it wouldn't allow for direct faster than light communication with other vessels or planets (at least that hadn't been visited) because they wouldn't necessarily share entangled particles. This could be overcome, however, if a communication were sent, for example, via quantum entanglement to Earth, then relayed via a communication system to various relay stations, with perhaps the final transmission being made by conventional means, kind of like FTTN - using fiber for the majority of the journey but old fashioned copper for 'the last mile' Tommy Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
