[Starlink] The "reasons" that bufferbloat isn't a problem

[David Fernández]

"quantum entanglement may be a path to beat the speed of light"

It seems that is not going anywhere. Maybe better warp drives.

Faster than light comms as a target for 7G mentioned here:

So, maybe that means that 6G will be the last G, after all, as faster than
light comms seem to be impossible, because paradoxes could be created.

The end of comms engineering could be in the horizon of our lifetime.

you would be better off with plans that don't require beating the speed of
light. Yes, quantum entanglement may be a path to beat the speed of light,
but
you still need the electronics to handle it, and have the speed of sound at
temperatures and pressures that humans can live at as a restriction.

by comparison to your 1ms latency goals, extensive AT&T phone testing
decades
ago showed that 100ms was the threshold where people could start to detect
a
delay.
