Can we use this principle to decrease the latency between continents over the internet? Like transmitting data via artificially generating neutrinos and sending them directly from say Asia to Latin America? There has to be a way, no?
I'm not a physics guy so it would bee be better if someone with domain knowledge could chime in.
- bognition 6y agoThe challenge is detecting neutrinos is very hard. The image in the article required a 500d exposure.
- _jal 6y agoSure. Your 'NICs' would be rather expensive[1] and you'd need to minimax bandwidth vs. error correction for the number of detection misses. [1] Here's a picture of one: https://amp.businessinsider.com/images/5b23cd9d1ae66220008b5296-2732-1366.jpg https://amp.businessinsider.com/images/5b23cd9d1ae66220008b5...
- phinnaeus 6y agoAlso note this is only the receiver, you'd need another device of similarly massive scale to transmit.

- The5thElephant 6y agoI don't think we can detect enough neutrinos to make this work. The reason it works with the Sun is the massive number of neutrinos it generates and exposing over 500 days since even then so few are detected.
