syncsound Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 "Bo Thide of the Swedish Institute of Space Physics and a team in Italy have finally proven that it’s possible to simultaneously transmit multiple radio channels over exactly the same wireless frequency. In theory, according to Thide, we could potentially transmit an “infinite number” of TV, radio, WiFi, and cellular channels at the same time over the same frequency, blasting apart our highly congested wireless spectrum" https://plus.google.com/u/0/107784212140893392732/posts/JjoWG7sQG2s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Good luck with that I hope it comes true then we can put all the tv and wifi and everything on one channel and we can have the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Babb Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I'm waiting for someone to develop the oft-talked-about Subspace frequencies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subspace_(Star_Trek) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 The idea of "subspace frequency" instant communications has been around for a long time. Check out this discussion of the Ansible, used in many sci-fi novels, like Ender's Game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) this is not new... we have all been using these sorts of techniques for years (Cell phones! CDMA+TDMA+GSM). Edited March 5, 2012 by studiomprd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Wielage Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Ender's Game was such a good book. So good. Looking forward to the movie. They got the kid from Hugo to play the title character, which is excellent casting (Asa Butterfield). Could be another Twilight / Hunger Games phenomena. They definitely got a lotta frequencies in Ender's Game. Communications is a key issue in the books; Orson Scott Card was talking about email in 1980, which was pretty early on.

Toy Robot Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 My only worry is that the book wont translate well to the big screen. I hope they do it justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toy Robot Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Back to topic though, that's amazing. I really do hope this is something that's worked out while I'm alive. I'd love to be able to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 My only worry is that the book wont translate well to the big screen. I hope they do it justice. I agree. And the dramatic twist in the ending (which is somewhat reminiscent of a now-forgotten 1982 film, The Last Starfighter), is gonna be hard to conceal. But I suspect the huge success of the teen sci-fi film Hunger Games could be a big factor in getting the public to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
