Thread: Intergalactic bandwith and long-haul lightways
Post: RE: Intergalactic bandwith and long-haul lightways
| Ta for the equation. I think that's given me the key to solving this problem.
This sort of transmission is going to be of a much lower bandwidth than "normal" lightways, because only a tiny fractio... |

Thread: Intergalactic bandwith and long-haul lightways
Post: RE: Intergalactic bandwith and long-haul lightways
| Yes, you signal at a whole galaxy (or at all galaxies within range). Given the fact that you can use Nicoll-Dyson beams, and the resolving power of Terragen telescopes, it's not obvious this is ludicr... |

3) Scale. Those Knots are BIG. At 42cm compared to 20km neutron stars, they'd be 134.4 meters if scaled up to Earth. No need to change it, just interesting.
