The name "Wakamaru" is yet another Japanese pun (much like "Pokemon" was a combination of "Poketto" (pocket) and "Monstaa" (monster) to yield a word that sounded like "bakemon," (supernatural creature)), this time a combination of "wakai" (young) and "-maru" (suffix for male names) to yield a word that means "little one," while also sounding like "wakaru," which means "to understand."

Huh. Of all the visions of the future William Gibson wrote about, I never expected Virtual Light would turn out to be the accurate one.
Unlike photons, electrons have mass. Nothing with mass moves at anything close to the speed of light.
What is the speed of electrons down a copper wire?
