The more complex the encoding of information, the more time it takes to decode and retransmit it. Speed of light may be an upper bound on the speed of information, but anything on the order of memes require complex life forms to communicate and understand them.
> Will our meme sphere(s) collide with other meme spheres
Of course, "meme spheres" already collide all the time, but I think they are subject to too many intervening forces to be idealized as actual physical spheres like the propagation of light in a vacuum might be.
- willis936 7y agoThe meme spheres interact in a more complicated process than just a repeater. They can amplify each other by sending and returning the same (or similar) information. Some ideas get retransmitted a lot more than others. I wonder if a universally retransmitted (maximum strength) meme is possible.
