Fascinating idea. The neutrinos travel at effectively the speed of light and can be sent directly through the earth, providing a minimum-distance "line of sight" between any two points on earth. However, the same property that allows the neutrinos to pass through the earth is also the reason they're so hard to detect. You would probably only be able to be able to detect modulation frequencies on the order of weeks or months. The bandwidth would be very low to say the least!
- lostmyoldone 6y agoThere are research where they've done short haul (~1km i think) neutrino comms at about 0.1bit/s. Slow but still cool, and yes if you could get high enough bitrate for less money than you could gain in HFT trade, it would probably already exist. Them HFT guys and girls do rather crazy stuff to get their nanosecond advantages.
