0 ping impossible? Proven wrong. LOCKED

[Poleutrough]

I think it was measuring in milliseconds.

[Bisjac]

yeah milliseconds. makes no difference. a ping technically cant be zero. the term itself means data is being sent and recieved.
if it was zero, then we need to hear the secrets of data teleportation.

Quantum entanglement will be the future.

0 ping is impossible because, although data travels extremely fast, it takes time. For example, when you turn on a light switch to a GOOD light, the light seems to turn on instantly, although it actually takes time for the signal to let the electricity through, the electricity to reach the light, the light to begin chemically in the bulb, and the light to reach your eyes. these actions can take as little as a millisecond, and so you do not notice them. this is why 0 ping is impossible.

it does make a difference, you said it only had to be less than 1 second travel. Since it's in milliseconds it has to be less than 1ms or if it rounds then less than .5ms, that's loving fast.

does ping even round down?

who is debating that its slow? any ping less then 50 is "fast"
this discussion is about zero ping not existing

[MrLoganator111]

0 ping isnt the same thing as 0-second ping lol

data HAS to travel. and it does take time. just because it takes less then a second dosnt mean you have some kind of magic ping.

all you know is. its a ping greater then zero, and less then 1. incremental amount that computers dont gauge.

I totally agree.

Why is it that I can only get more than 4 milliseconds ping to things on my network, but he is capable of data travel accross the internet in less than 1 millisecond?

Ping is measured in time TO AND FROM, remember.

cuz hes lucky.

usually we are always unaware of the servers we must travel and pass through.
some people just got a sweet location.

people think its about distance, but its not that there are less lines to travel through, its that there are less data centers and servers to "switchtrack" on

we can easily find out which servers we bounce through.


logan, run this in your command prompt and post the output:
tracert 69.64.43.11

that will show us all the network hubs, switches, and servers you have to go through to reach pecons server.

me? I have to go through about 14 of the forgeters.

[Chrono]

It's a miscalculation. End it there.

Ping cannot be 0.

[Bisjac]

i know how to check...


you asked me why one person has a better ping then another.

a stupid question must be answered with a simple answer while trying to avoid the annoyed sarcasm

i was supporting the claim that his results are impossible.

why do we always end up in an argument whenever one of us counters the others post?

[Dr.shoe...]

someone on this TF2 server had a ping of 1. It was a skial server.
