A no-lag quantum network would be cool but people would probably just use it to post Schrodinger's cat pictures.

I prefer 5G when there be less than 1ms latency someday .

There is nothing in that article that in any way suggests that it will be possible to transmit information without 'lag'. Information is still being passed via photons. The speed of light remains the fundamental limit.

1).  but lately all i wanna do is listen to music

 

2).  actually light doesnt take 100 ms to travel its that comps are slow

 

 

1). Hope you're working on your art while listening.  

 

2). But electricity on non-fiber optics network can take that long or longer.  Ah..... good ol' does-the-job-but-is-kinda-crappy cable!

Until we discover a faster-traveling particle.

Which would imply that modern physics has got things utterly wrong. The current understanding is that the 'speed of light' isn't just 'the fastest particles we know about can travel'. It is the fastest that information can possibly travel (a consequence of special relativity), and as such a fundamental limit of the universe. Photons are merely an example of things that travel that fast. In fact they have to, since having no rest mass, they can't travel any slower. And if they went any faster, they'd violate causality, and appear to travel backwards in time.

 

If physics does ever turn itself on its head and discover ways to send internet signals that arrive before they are sent, lag is going to be the least of anyone's problems. ?

Einstein was never 'bad at maths'.

Once "fundamental limits" are assigned to the universe, that's when you also know that somebody forgot to carry the 0.

Zero is the only number we have that truly represents infinity.   Remove all material and energy from the universe and you are left with the void.  With no border and no reference point, there is no relativity.  

Once you add a single finite point of reference and then another and another on-and-on, forever, then you get the concept of infinity most people think of (ad infinitum), which is represented by the symbol of the mobius strip.

5G is bad news for humans and animals. 

There's a good reason 5G is ilegal in the country it was designed in.

 

Let that sink in.

I don't think so if it is true it will be fixed somehow , you can't stop the moving wagon. There might be other reason too who knows. There allegedly were danger to human beings from trains , automobile when they emerge . You can   read articles made at  times , now you just laugh who in the world can believed in that nonsense.
