You're forgetting something mikhael, if the program was made to recognize certain light patters, such as red-red-reddish organge, and read that as, I don't know, Z.
Also, if you think about it, imagine 8 Min. You could almost carry a conversation with that (notice I said almost) with that speed, compared to the hours it takes for radio waves to reach the sun. And by then, you would need complex machines to decipher an already weak signal.
Also, my original designs called for an acceleration of the light particles! I think this is very possible, if it already hasn't been done.
I have my original theory here with me, so I'll be able to write it down, or at least try to translate it from a diagram to words anyways;
Let's say that s is the velocity of light. If M-1 (sender) accelerates the speed of that light to m. If the message was traveling in a straight line to M-2 (reciever) and d (distance) equaled forty-thousand kilometers, then t (time delay) would equal a mere 15 seconds. Now, my operations are probably wrong in this calculation, I admit that, but my (possiblly incorrect) observations also state that, if a radio wave travels the same distance (probably more, in order for the following idea to work), it's strength decereases, thereby lowering message quality and spreads it's waves, making them longer and wider, which, in turn, slows down the transmission, causing it to take a longer period of time to reach it's destination (M-2).
INSERT: Think about it: there are a total of 26 letters in the alphabet, and, adding to that their lowercase counterparts, plus punctuation and numbers, I would say that there are about as many total symbols, letters and numbers in the world as about the amount of keys on your keyboard, plus about 40 (taking into account all the keys that you have to use "shift," to use).
Now, I'm not saying that mikhael and an0n's (I'm picking them to talk directly about because they have been better at giving specific info for the theory in question) points of views are completely without merit. If I did, I would not be the scientist I want to be, and would miss valuable information. In fact, some of his views are more sensible than mine, and, as such, I will try to sum up his opposition to my plan (I'm not going to interject in here, I don't want to be seen as hostile and accusing, because I'm not);
My (MY) view of mikhael's points are that his main argument is that this new way of communicating isn't quite fast enough for the proposed type of communication. That's because light travels at c, and yet, so do radio waves. Also, it would only provide a simple, limited form of communication, because of the apparent lack of colors, spectrums, etc.
My view (again, MINE) of an0n's argument is that the new system is without much of a chance, because it's useless (I CAN'T HELP IT! I'm going to interject here!Gah, here it is: he is totally, unfalteringly right, in every way, except one. And that is that I did not design this system for widespread use on our own planet, I designed it for use aboard the futures starships and expeditions that will, no, must happen in the near future. OK, I'm done) becuase of the fact that radio waves are already traveling that fast.
EDIT:Oh, since this was written before the last post, I must say to Shrike that he is right. I can't argue with it, as I don't have much real experience in the energy field, what I mostly have concerning that stuff is largely theories and conjecture.
DOUBLE EDIT: However, light dissapates very little from what I can tell. It's common sense that all E-energy dissapates after awhile, however, if light is accelerated to a sufficient amount, then it can still be decipherable when it is received, plus, if you set up stations along the way, then you will be able to re-accelerate the beam all the way to it's final destination is reached.
Man, I'm tired so some of the above two paragraphs are probably wrong, but I can't think of how to fix them.
See what you think........
