I can bet lot of us start their day with lots of open questions. Perhaps they are enriched with so many giant mysteries that we probably face during our working or studying time, or during a very long…

Is Quantum Entanglement A Viable Solution To Interstellar Communication?

Is Quantum Entanglement A Viable Solution To Interstellar Communication?

What if? What if there was a concept that could potentially solve the greatest problems of long distance communication in the future? The concept potentially could solve problems such as: Transmission and reception range limitations Interference from all types of issues including electromagnetic interference and obstructions between transmitter and receiver Speed of light limitation causing an…
