Is FTL Messaging Getting Closer?

Although the experiment's results still need to be replicated, CERN researchers believe that some of the neutrinos that they fired along a 730 km-long testbed arrived traveling faster than the speed of light. If other particle physicists are able to replicate the feat, this could revolutionize messaging.

I've written a few thoughts about the subject in my weekly editor's letter for Sell-Side Technology.

I've also been on a quantum mechanics kick for a few months now that has lead me to write a piece in the October issue of Waters magazine on the the current state of quantum computing and how it could be used on Wall Street ($$).

This nascent technology is far from being a computing panacea, but it's capable of changing the rules of the game and further separating the technology haves and have-nots.
