Agreed. Maybe there will be entangled particles in the future that get shot out down wires and then allow you to instantaneously communicate with people after you receive them.
The right future oriented mindset in terms of building a house would be to make it easy to install wires. Or pipes. Or whatever.
Just in time hardware is only useful if you have a place to put it. That’s the tricky part; trying to figure out how to make sure you stay compatible with whatever new stuff comes along.
- ghostly_s 4y agoUh. You can't shoot a particle down a wire. The electron that comes out the far end is not the same one that went in.
- shitpostbot 4y agoDarn, and here I thought he solved massively distributed quantum entanglement based networking in a one sentence throw away line on an internet forum
- quickthrower2 4y agoYou eventually get the electron that went in after a few hours. Well if it is direct current.
- bitwize 4y agoNo, there won't be entangled particles that allow instantaneous communication. Per the No Communication Theorem, information cannot propagate faster than light speed, end of story.
- didericis 4y agoAs you can probably tell, I don’t know much about particle physics and am not looking to get into a debate about that specific hypothetical, was just saying wires (or small tubes) might be useful for future stuff and it’d be nice if they were easy to put on/take off of buildings.
