  25. Re:This will all be moot before it ever happens. on Open Spectrum: Free the Airwaves · · Score: 1

    Yeah, this kind if thing would be only available to the really rich.

    Butm I was just thinking - another little quirk of this technology is that it would basically allot nformaion t travel in time. These partiles are intertwined, right? Well, send one through a wormhole or put it in a spaseship that goes at some large fraction of the speed of light. Now, time goes much faster for one side than the other, but messages will be sent at the same relative time. That means, the time would be the same from the moment of creation. So, the message sent from the comp. on the ship would arrive on the home computer before it is sent.

    This would probably be a disadvantage, as really big companies/rich people/the government would be the only ones who could use this
