@ chroot: thank you for explaining. it made me understand the technicalities better.
I realized that a lot of people may post things they think to be true when they are not so i use the <my understanding> bracket to signify that it was mine, not an actual fact in case i am wrong.
but...
really... ok then i guess i am wrong then, or you don't understand what i am talking about as I have a hard time explaining things. however, you don't have to put in a mean way... :frown:
yup that's what i was implying.
<my understanding > You can only pass so much info through copper wiring tho. its like PVC piping, you can only pump X amount of gallons through an X inch diameter. but with light, it travels much faster so it doesn't take as long to go through the pipe...
woah nice... but got to have a big pocket to buy that. but 80mb transfer rate is slow. the limiter is the computer. if today's computers had fiberoptic cables in them, the transfer rates would skyrocket.
re stargate: its in on of the episode where Earth receives the Asguard technology...
I was wondering what the reaction would be if you aimed RF signal/s into a high powered circular electro-magnet (i think the proper term is a toroid ?). I ask because its too dangerous for me at the moment to conduct experiment. (220v @ 20amps).
would the signal be shot out the side that has...
wow, fast reply :D
anyway, wow, didn't know that. finally, something to get off our dependency of magnetic disk storage (HDD). I first saw this in the TV series, Stargate SG-1 (which btw i love :D ). I was thinking of a way to make this a reality because with the increase in access time of...
First i want to say hello, since i am new here.
ok, I don't know tons about physics, so the following is an idea that i have, and would like to know if it was possible.
my idea is:
Why not use a laser to write 0's and 1's inside a glass or stone crystal? we can already use such lasers...
