We develop a model for an interstellar communication network that is composed of relay nodes that transmit diffraction-limited beams of photons. We provide a multi-dimensional rationale for such a ...

Space might seem like an empty, featureless void, but new research has shown that this is far from true. Scientists have been amazed to discover an 'interstellar tunnel' that connects our solar system ...

Sketch of a series of probes serving as repeater stations between the Solar System and Alpha Centauri. The probes emit diffraction-limited light beams carrying high bandwidth information, similar to ...
