Faster-than-c Signals, Special Relativity, and Causality
Motivated by the recent attention on superluminal phenomena, we investigate the compatibility between faster-than-c propagation and the fundamental principles of relativity and causality. We first argue that special relativity can easily accommodate — indeed, does not exclude — faster-than-c signalling at the kinematical level. As far as causality is concerned, it is impossible to make statemen...
متن کاملFaster thalamocortical processing for dark than light visual targets.
ON and OFF visual pathways originate in the retina at the synapse between photoreceptor and bipolar cells. OFF bipolar cells are shorter in length and use receptors with faster kinetics than ON bipolar cells and, therefore, process information faster. Here, we demonstrate that this temporal advantage is maintained through thalamocortical processing, with OFF visual responses reaching cortex ~3-...
متن کاملSprites: Payment Channels that Go Faster than Lightning
It is well known that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other blockchain-based cryptocurrencies are facing hurdles in scaling to meet user demand. One of the most promising approaches is to form a network of “off-chain payment channels,” which are backed by on-chain currency but support rapid, optimistic transactions and use the blockchain only in case of disputes. We develop a novel construction for paym...
متن کاملFaster than light?
The hypothesis formulated by Smarandache on the possibility that no barriers exist in the Universe for an object to travel at any speed is here shortly analyzed. In 1980, contrarily to what previously postulated by Einstein, Smarandache, according to the EPR paradox, formulated the hypothesis that no barriers exist in the Universe for an object (or particle or information or energy) to travel a...
متن کاملFaster than thought
The steganography solution to wide-area networks [114, 114, 188, 62, 70, 179, 68, 95, 54, 152, 191, 59, 168, 148, 99, 58, 68, 129, 128, 106] is defined not only by the simulation of operating systems, but also by the technical need for DHTs. In this work, we validate the emulation of IPv4. SERGE, our new algorithm for the technical unification of randomized algorithms and extreme programming, i...
