'Twisted light' carries 2.5 terabits of data per second

BTW. Even if you could get the full 2.5 TB of data. You're hardware is still too slow.
In the seconds that it took to download the movie you're computer would be waiting to write the data to your hard drive.
lol

You don't need a hard drive, silly! You read and write straight to the tera-raid array distributed content network! You boot from that mother, too! All you need is an IMEI and MAC address to have perfect security.

Techinically, it would be cheaper. Sorry..SHOULD BE.

If your telecom gave you a "data allowance" when they have access to SO MUCH BANDWITH, they are cheating, lying scum and you should not take their business.

It's insane to have data caps on anything beyond DSL. Once you hit fiber, the sky is the limit.

~tenth

Sure the sky is the limit in BANDWIDTH but the local servers can only handle so much at any one time. The local servers, whether they are remote terminals or SA boxes only have so many cards and each card only so much processessing power. You have to share that processing power with every other household on the card regardless of whether or not there is fiber or copper on the other end. Thats why they try to keep individual bandwidth usage down. It's about keeping all of your neighbors happy, because they are customers too.

YES, yet another form of vindicating my particle physics theory, be it merely projectively geometrical, it does allow visualization of parameters of interaction, ie; virtual field unification needing only mathematical translation!

The most efficient and compact method of transporting data while maintaining rate of light speed would be superconductive geometry. If you take a look at Egor Babaev's model for superconductivity, or the recent find at Cern Geneva for the gold atom smash lines , it all shows us what's really going on in space.

what are you insinuating? that space is some superconductive geometric manifold?

This makes total sense. Our bodies were always known as "lighthouses". DNA is light made solid, the ultimate high bio-tech. Its like a blending of meta-physics and science. We are begining to merge these fields. Our advancement is multiplying in speed.

DNA is a phosphate-sugar backbone linked by nucleic acids. It's not light made solid. Except in new-age world.

yes, space is superconducting. It's a matter of how space is arranged using the largest of many different sized particles. Therein you guide the energetic ones to plow out the mid sized in a new crystalline form, a vortex, so long as the geometry is right you have a self running one.

Truth is we don't need cables, fibers, we need past light speed transceiver stations miniaturized. This patent was made years ago in U.S.
Somewhere I have a reference.

Are you sure you're not a ST:TNG technobabble generator?

Do you even know what "superconducting" means?

Researchers have clocked light beams made of "twisted" waves carrying 2.5 terabits of data - the capacity of more than 66 DVDs - per second.

The technique relies on manipulating what is known as the orbital angular momentum of the waves.

Recent work suggests that the trick could vastly boost the data-carrying capacity in wi-fi and optical fibres.

The wonders of science never cease to amaze me.

Every day something new crops up to stimulate the brain with the progress of scientists.

I anticipate a Star Trek style transporter...

If you up the speed between provider stations, you up the speed towards the user, or... you are capable of providing more users per server the old speed.

That is where the money will be made with this new tech. Replace a hive of old servers with just one brand new 2.5T server. The end-user wont know the difference, but your provider will reduce capital, operation expenses and powerconsumption, integrating this into existing networks.

Ultimately it will benefit the consumer... but that wont be the trigger to implement this new tech.

Don't worry.. your old comp can manage for quite some time.
