< revolutionary new tech is announced
< everyone gets all excited
< the tech never gets released to the mainstream public

name 1 piece of cost-effective tech older than 100 years which hasnt become available to the public in some form

forget, even spaceflight has an emerging tourist industry

[PhantOS]

so wait they shined a flashlight into space and now everyone is freaking out?

[Marios]

holy forget imagine the internet speeds if we can truly harness this. 300 petabytes up, and 100 petabyte down.

Upload speed faster than download speed?

pretty soon we'll be able to make a gluon gun using the same kinda stuff by using quantam entanglement to launch gluons twoards an object (practically teleporting)

good job at both trivializing and totally missing the point about this

This would be useful for latency, especially across long distances.
Not so much throughput, as other networking equipment, like modems and routers, aren't going to be able to operate at 300 PB/s


Although I read previously that quantum entangled particles can only have their state measured; that trying to change their state (which you'd need to do for communication) untangles them, so idk how that would even work

yep. otherwise it'd violate relativity

[Nix the Glaceon]

dominos is gonna start teleporting pizzas to people's houses

nah more like 0 latency

[otto-san]

p sure a main purpose of this is security; esp. with the onset of quantum computing, communications that are immune to interception are pretty important for high-risk information

[Super Suit 12]

still potentially useful but no we're not beaming ourselves across the universe
