Re: MD: OT: You cannae break the laws of physics (was took apart R90)
Shit, here I go again... (sorry Rick). Not strictly true, Larry. It has been demonstrated in laboratories that information may travel faster than light through "quantum-tunneling" which I confess I am not particular well up on, but has demonstrated information can be transmitted at about two or three times the speed of light albeit with high error rates, but correctable and most definetley faster than light (think of it as sending something which takes a day to arrive but you add extra stuff to correct errors which adds an hour, except the day was more like a picosecond and the hour a fraction of that :-) I've seen ones an expirement with electrons. If you changed the spin of one, the other changed to! It even works if the two electrons are each on another part of the world!

I was referring to motion as in a jet, car, plane, space, ship, etc. I think that Einstein was referring to the same thing. I'm sure that atomic sub particles may have the capability of moving at speed faster then light. But that's not going to get me from New York to Calif. in a minute. I guess I chose a poor analogy, because in my find when I think about breaking the speed of light barrier, it's about movement as in Mach 1, etc. But with that clarified, it doubt that we will see travel that is faster then the speed of light for some time. As for ATRAC, I'll still stick to me beliefs about it peaking for all practical purposes. This is not to say that minuscule improvements can't be made (for example making MD's copy quality so good not no human ear using the finest state of the art equipment could tell the copy from the original. But for the average person, ATRAC 4 is probably as close to exact as possible. Once you start to get as close as ATRAC 4, you get into the hole area of psycho acoustics. Anyone who believes that there is no difference will hear no difference.

I think Einstein may well have had particles in mind when he was doing his theorising regarding this... I'm sure that atomic sub particles may have the capability of moving at speed faster then light. But that's not going to get me from New York to Calif. in a minute. But why would the principles be different? Do we apply different laws to them - well OK then, enough already with the wave / particle duality stuff... ;-) I guess I chose a poor analogy, because in my find when I think about breaking the speed of light barrier, it's about movement as in Mach 1, etc. But surely the rationale that applies to particles, applies to "you" as well.

From: "las" [EMAIL PROTECTED] (snip) For example, at the present time we have no science that can exceed the speed of light. That does not mean that someone wouldn't come along some day find a way to exceed light speed. Thus proving Einstein wrong. Larry Not strictly true, Larry. It has been demonstrated in laboratories that information may travel faster than light through "quantum-tunneling" which I confess I am not particular well up on, but has demonstrated information can be transmitted at about two or three times the speed of light albeit with high error rates, but correctable and most definetley faster than light (think of it as sending something which takes a day to arrive but you add extra stuff to correct errors which adds an hour, except the day was more like a picosecond and the hour a fraction of that :-) A German(?) laboratory sent classical music at about twice the speed of light through such a link and it was comparable to a RealAudio 16kbps stream. And I don't think they were using error correction but cannot be certain.
