Mainstream thinking in physics now is that nothing travels faster than light speed neither matter or information. Some of the limits set by Bell's theorem have proven to be anything but. As I understand it it is possible to transmit information via quantum coupling but currently impossible to...

There is no contradication. For example if you sent the instructions on how to build a copy of a spaceship and its crew to the far end of the galaxy and it's built in a reasonable amount of time, you have in effect travelled faster than light but without exceeding the light speed limit. simple...

Well in this case information travels faster than light speed. If this can be turned into a pratical communications technology it would herald a new area of not just faster the light phone calls but faster that light travel (after they have perfected the ability to map and rematerialize a person...

Seen it this morning but no mention yet on the more reliable sites.

Hi Lancelot, How did you get on with the sat*once application? I read in a german forum that your voting perference still "sticks" even without a internet connection- bearing in mind what Babel Fish can do to the orginal content. It would appear that there was few English speaking user anyway...

The time of day versus the frequency used would have made contact very difficult. Of course back then little or nothing would have been known of long distance radio propagation. My own experience is that when listening for weak morse signals through static crashes for long periods of time you...

Hi again lancelot! From the Sat At Once home page: Sat*Once is an European-scale project, sponsored by the European Space Agency (ESA) and SES-ASTRA (Luxembourg) to promote the use of satellite in the daily life. Sat*Once uses the Casablanca technology to extend the Web in another dimension...

Is it even possible to be brilliant without being at least a little eccentric?:D

Therein lie my problem, there is no "normal" internet connection to that PC. On casablanca voting only seems to work if its allowed to dial home. Hitting the Vote button in the absence of an internet connection doesn't enable your preferences. Voting only needs to be done every few day at most...

I recently got a Skystar 2, played with progdvb for a while and finally settled on Dvbdream for TV. Dvbdream seems to run better on my lowish end system presumably because it doesn't have to carry the time shift overheads. I also got Sat at Once running and it looks potentially useful. One...

Recently I've been dapling with sat*once and would like to know more. All the active forums I found so far are in german etc. I 've found a number of forums in English but alas none of them are active. There must be one somewhere!

Thanks for the link, its been years since I've read anything about Tesla. Tesla was always mentally a little "out there", something that he used to his advantage when deal with complex ideas. As a child he often found it difficult to differenciate between what his eyes and his minds eye...

Lets not forget Tesla, a truly great creator of original ideas. One of his earliest invention was the 3 phase power generation, distribution system and the end use item - 3 phase electric motors. An idea he couldn't even give away at the time! Bell deserves mention as the inventor of telephone...
