I delayed light by 127 microseconds. It was all worthwhile.

Me too. It's called the snooze button....uuugh.........

Did you delay the light by making the photons pass through a spiral tunnel coiled outside the radius of capture of the atoms in the glass?

Heavy breathing at the creek?

4 spiral tunnels, but I think you sussed it. I also dispersion-compensated it for a NRZ-10Gbit signal and provided only 16.84dB of loss. Not too shabby, considering the DCM had an insertion loss of 6.3 dB! :eek:

I love it when you talk technical!

It reads great even when I have NO IDEA what you're talking about.

Sprials are making me happy too. I passed my backwards inside edges on a line and all 4 forwards spirals on an edge. :D

HungLikeJesus 03-18-2009 12:32 PM

How much did that delay the light?

dar512 03-18-2009 12:50 PM

Well, the delay was actually due to heavy traffic in the third bend of the spiral. (Due to a Critical Mass wavicle ride)

Protons were still getting through on the express lanes, however.

Now, if you could only get light to speed up, that'd really be something! Work on that one for next week.

glatt 03-18-2009 01:03 PM

Just by a few nanoseconds, even. Shouldn't be that hard.

Decca 03-18-2009 02:11 PM

If the speed of light is the fastest velocity attainable, making light faster will certainly give "Y'all better get your asses moving at LIGHTSPEED" a whole new definition... and less attainability :D
