Tunnel Linking New York And London Unveiled

[JMcEntegart]

If you live in London or New York you probably know all about the tunnel they have unveiled in the aforementioned cities, which apparently lets you see from one city to the other. Not living in either the United States or the United Kingdom...

I'm pretty sure this will just end up being a webcam on either side and a small LCD screen, though you should be able to tell since the image wouldn't be pixelated at all if he's telling the truth.

Grab binocs, and use em up against the glass... look carefully at the image and check for pixels.

If they're are no pixels, then its not a screen.

Honestly though, i think its just optic fibre..

When I read the title of the article I thought about what I have only seen in Discovery's Extreme Engineering, the physical tunnel that will allow travel of people in less than one hour between these 2 cities. Now that would be really impressive, and starting to build it would be a great news. Or even investment of some money in more than simply a theoretical project... I know even if they start building it now I probably won't be alive to see it come to realization, Terminator3 made it clear.

@virtualban

Are you saying that Skynet is going to come online first?

Maybe not skynet, but surely, in the 100 years (prediction by discovery channel) needed to build the transatlantic tunnel, who knows what will come. One thing is for sure: that emulated 4 year old intelligence in second life is going to grow up. And maybe not for software reasons, but at least because of hardware, AI will evolve, and will be given more control over time. And while some will be afraid to give that control to machines, 6 billion people can't be predicted never to. And with all that software that requires to be online, at least once in a while, close to all computers will go online and that means a lot of cyberspace to take a walk to. It might be just a tiny process running in one of the cores of the cpu or gpu, until a way to get more control over the physical word is found
Now, I wish I'd live long enough to see that. And this probably I will, but would be too old to do something about it, except unplug my portion of cyberspace. 😛
