| Nov 23, 2020 at 23:12 | comment | added | uhoh | @JoeJobs the highest power laser pulses have steadily increased and there's no limit in sight (see Petawatts to Exawatts) Physical object analogies don't apply. It's impossible to extrapolate another century or two into the future, but I think that "the future is bright" (pun intended) and could even be X-rays rather than light. I know there is scholarly work on the best wavelengths for interstellar communications, so a separate question about that may receive some "enlightening" answers. :-) | |
