Christchurch, New Zealand: Data Moving Company Movebot has started laying the framework for dark matter cabling, as the current infrastructure has met its limits.
Having moved over 200TB in a day, Movebot has created the world’s fastest data migration tool. But the team believes there is still room for improvement—if the infrastructure can take it.
Seeing past the optics
Most current fiber optic cables have a maximum speed of 10GB/second. When Movebot reached this limit with plenty of resources to go faster, the Movebot team needed to look into new technology, a way to move data faster than was thought possible.
The team started looking into dark matter as a practical replacement for fiber optics, with resounding results. Movebot's dark matter cables have a theoretical bandwidth of ∞+1 due to circumventing the known laws of physics.
“Our new dark matter cables can migrate 500YB of data per day, enough to move an entire universe worth of data.” Said Founder Michael Lawson, with a glint in his eye.
Beyond data migrations
Asked how dark matter cabling could influence the future beyond data migrations, Lawson believes that organic matter, including humans, could be transmuted into a digital form in a lossless state and transported across galaxies.
“Earth is Stage One.” Lawson said about the long-term impacts of the technology. “Eventually we will be able to move data—and civilizations—across multiverses with ease.
When prompted about if we could expect to see interuniversal travel in this decade, Lawson nodded, and said “We just need someone to build a cable long enough”.
And until next year: Don't be a Fool!
