At 19 billion kilometers away, it takes about 18 hrs for a signal from Voyager 2 to be intercepted by Earth. Pretty crazy how long it takes at this distance.

But then again this isn’t even that far. For comparison a message from Alpha Cenauri, the closest star system, would take four years for it to be intercepted…

If we ever become an species spanning multiple solar systems I wonder how communication tech will evolve to help reduce ~4 years down to well anything else lol

It would take some discovery that required rewriting the laws of physics, and a lot of what we currently think we know would have to be revisited.

Yeah, that’s why the quantum world is so appealing yeah? Seemingly breaks laws of physics that it shouldn’t. My only guess for communication exceeding light speed would be somehow using quantum entanglement, but that would be thousands and thousands of years in the future I think lol.
