Bizarre editorial choice to contradict one of the paper authors. From the article,
> The research work, which may result in significantly faster information transfer speeds across networks and in computers
But also from the article, further down:
> "Einstein's Theory of Relativity still stands, however, because it is still correct to say that information cannot be transmitted faster than the vacuum speed of light," said Dr. Lijun Wang
- ojosilva 5y agoIt's not a contradiction. Maximum speeds for information transfer in communications and computers is in the .67c zone. Research that could speed that up closer to 1c is possible (and welcome), which doesn't mean information will ever, at least within the current paradigm of physics, travel > 1c.
- whoisburbansky 5y agoAh, fair enough, I misread the editorial claim, and stand corrected. Thanks for pointing that out!
- skunkworker 5y agoIsn't the .67c usually around the limitations of currently deployed optical fiber, but hollow core gets to .997c although it has distance limitations.
