Indeed. It is worth remembering that the diameter of a circle is a full 1.5708 (PI/2) times shorter than half its circumference, so if you can get the communication *through* the earth, you can make the latency 37% lower than with traditional wires-over-the-surface communication technology. :-) -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Oct 23 2011, n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
