Here are more details: Spectrocable, his first invention to be launched and brought to market, is a new optical fiber system that uses 16 million different colors to increase data transfer speeds significantly, compared to technologies on the market today. With Spectrocable, data transfer will be instantaneous which will revolutionize the way we use the internet and share information. For example, the entire 40TB of the Library of Congress could be downloaded in less than half a second. At Techweek Los Angeles, Dupont will be demoing this technology and revealing how it works for the first time with a working prototype. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/14-year-old-inventor-unveils-patented-data-transfer-technology-at-techweek-la-232752181.html http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/14-year-old-inventor...

"Spectrocable, data transfer will be instantaneous" So... he solved the issue of going past the speed of light? I think the DOD just found their MVP for the next 10 000 years for he shall sit upon a golden throne and rule mankind with that kind of intellect.

  hahaha, fun how this thread turns out. But keep in mind: Using R/G/B Lasers won't increase the speed of light, so don't try to debunk BS with BS. I have read about an indian student 4y ago who invented a geometrical compression algorithm that could save about 80GB onto an image, the size of an A4 document. Never heard back from him

    I read that too. I agree..what that Indian student did, is a load of crap..

    You mean this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Storage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Storage It does work, he just slightly overestimated the maximum density :) There is an open-source implementation (http://ollydbg.de/Paperbak/ http://ollydbg.de/Paperbak/) that stores ~3mb per page.

      nice! thanks :)

Wouldn't that just be multiplexing on steroids?

  Yes and can theoretically increase the bandwith, but light is a wave function and I don't understand the quantum physical part (regarding observer dependent particle/wave formation) to tell, if it could work or not.

  You could almost call it ... dense wavelength-division multiplexing.
