I have been wanting to say this for a long time. Today is as good a time as any to do that.
I do not know about you but I think the universe needs to significantly increase its data transmission speed or photon speed (PhoSpee) as I call it. The universal ceiling of the speed of light in a vacuum of 186,282 miles per second , 299,792 kilometers per second, first theorized by Albert Einstein, is no longer acceptable to me. It is too 20th century. It is like your internet service provider (ISP) still operating the analog modem with that horrendous screechy noise.
Come on, Universe, you can do much better. At one level, it is still impressive that although Voyagers 1 and 2 are as of this morning over 13.778 billion and 11.405 billion miles away respectively after 42 years of traveling, in radio signal time they are only 20 hours and 17 hours away in one-way light time. That means to communicate with them, which will soon become impossible because of the diminishing radio signal strength, we need 40 hours and 34 hours each. Since they are pulling away from us at over 38,026 miles per hour (61,196 kmh) and 34,390 miles per hour (55,345 kmh) the length of that one communication loop is constantly increasing.
This is an example of my complaint about the universe’s data transmission being restricted by the speed of light ceiling, courtesy of Einstein. It is not as if Einstein imposed that limit. He brilliantly theorized it and has been proven right time and again. It is not his fault that he is right about the whole universe so far.
The point is the universe needs to measure up and give us a much faster data transmission speed. Ideally, I would ask for instantaneous transmission, meaning something occurring and being detected by us happening at once with zero, yes pure zero, time lag. I understand that this is the spooky action at a distance realm but I am not talking quantum scale but the normal macro scale that our dense brain operates on.
Can you imagine how that would completely transform our experience of the universe? It is not a rhetorical question. I am working on what that might mean in our daily human experience to have absolutely no time lag at all.
If the universe were my ISP, I would have long disconnected it with the pathetically slow light speed it is offering.
