Basically the scientists at Cern have developed a new kind of fiber optic internet that is extremely fast and much more efficent, so they could quickly and easily send data to research centers around the world:



The catch is that this internet is completely severed from the current one, and although it won't be possible to really directly connect up to it for a while now, there are many servers connected to The Grid around the world set up already, so you would just have to set up a connection there.

This would allow the possiblity of Holographic movies being streamed, among revolutionizing the internet when this ends up taking over in the future, being that speed is no longer an issue.

If this is all threu it might even improve the sound quality of the most SWF movies being placed at the internet. I hope this could be threu.

That's what you're amazed about? Great find Miniman. It's going to be sweet until a group like MAVAW takes over the government. (Yes, I was just using MAVAW as an example, I know it's fake)

The **** is "threu? And it wouldnt increase the sound quality because the problem of sound quality in swfs is flash fault when importing a sound.

Hey guys also look up a thing called "slow light"

They are slowing light to 1/16 of its normal speed you can actually place binary information on the light pulses, and you can then make all electronic transfers in a computer fiber optic which would mean that every thing is a heap faster.

researchers realised the LHC would generate annual data equivalent to 56m CDs - enough to make a stack 40 miles high.

Woah .

I feel bad now because I knew what every word of that meant. :c.

You're not the only one.
I actually read articles about it.
