if you replied to an Earth post you may have to wait as much as 44 minutes minimum to see any reply, if you replied to a Mars post you could get a reply instantly.

Messaging people on Earth a la skype would be more like writing a short letter than shooting the shit in real time. Any video messages would obviously need to be pre-recorded, no facetime for you (which is good because facetime and anything like it is cancer).

Yea you would just have to wait up to 4 to 24 minutes for the page to load, depending on where Earth and Mars are in their orbits.

If you wanted to play a game your ping would be between 48000ms and 2880000ms.

More like your page would load instantly like normal but be outdated by up to ~24 minutes, having come from a server on Mars which is being constantly updated from Earth. This is already how normal internet works, it's just that nowhere on Earth is far enough away from the other servers to produce update lg on the order of half an hour.

>Can you surf 4chan from planet Mars?

Yes, but you won't be able to see images or post due to the lag time screwing up your browsers time out for image loading and trying to post or logging in for 4chan pass with captcha since it also times out quickly.

You would need to modify the browser to allow the images to load by removing the time out thing. For posting, you'd need to get 4chan staff to set something up for you. Good luck with that last one.

You could conceivably still stream, you would just need to buffer for a few minutes.
I imagine the infrastructure needed to get a decent bandwidth would be a minor investment compared to colonizing mars.

You can still have instant internet, you would just need to make a long chain of computers with no space between them from Earth to Mars so the time between each link in the computer chain is zero seconds.

why would anyone want to live on mars? under a pressure dome with artificial air in constant danger? we already have this exact technology available and could build underwater settlements on our own planet with it, but no one wants that, not even researchers.

>> No.9861565

>>9861556
Pioneering conditions are never comfortable. The point is breaking new ground, subsequent generations can figure out how to smooth out the living conditions.
Also underwater settlements don't make you a multi-planet space faring empire and don't give you the benefit of spreading out the species on more than one planet as a way to avoid going extinct from a single planetary cataclysm.

Consider that on these colonies you're not going to have the creature comforts for a long time to come so things like Books, movies, tv, video games, academia, and the like are still going to be earth centric for a while just by virtue of no one else having the time and resources to produce their own content, and even when they do it's going to be low budget stuff produced by people who were probably sent up to the fledgling colony with more applicable skillsets to constructing oxygen farms and habitat domes. People will still have downtime, and a need for entertainment so that would probably come from earth for a while helping to establish a baseline culture for the short term.
I mean American literature wasn't even recognized by the rest of the civilized world until Mellville in 1850, and cemented by Twain later in the century.
And with the connectivity of everything, even with a lag, you'd still have plenty of Earthaboos running around annoying everyone.

Fair point, when it comes to media they will be stuck fast to Earth for a long time. I'm thinking more about the day to day. In a world with nigh-instantaneous communication as the norm, 6+ minutes of round trip lag is a serious bar to entry for casual communication

Around Mars we will probably want to set up some low-orbit internet satellites, so that bases on Mars can easily communicate with each other - hey look at this Starlink test satellite. We could then have a smaller number of big satellites in Mars synchronous orbit, that handle communication back to Earth.

quantum entanglement based communications

Think of it like a modem of sorts.
You would have an rx and tx section.
Data in gets encoded as quantum states in a particle. The corresponding entangled particles in the destination show the same states and the encoded data is read back out.

Entangled particles transmit their states (data) instantaneously. The only latency comes from how fast you can manipulate your "transmit" particles to the next state to send the next bit of data.

So then you move up from single entangled pairs to multiplexing like cable modems and wifi do with RF channels.

The research for this is already in motion and proof of concepts have been demonstrated.
