    In your heart, you know you sent the message, not your problem if they did not try hard enough to receive it.

    Actually... this would be a grand developement if it could be deployed in a field unit... like our military around the globe. Communications couldn't be blocked, and regardless of the location of the phones, even buried underground in a bunker, you could communicate with HQ and get real-time intel/orders in and out.

    I was impressed when this made the science news last summer: The neutrino messengers

    But:
    I won't hold my breath waiting for this. In the proof of principle experiment, both transmitter and receiver were enormous, with the transmitter consuming incredible power. The communication bandwidth was quite slow, something like 6 minutes to transmit the single word 'neutrino' in ASCII. Attempts to shrink the devices and increase the bandwidth will face very severe limits of physics.

    That will not stop the government from finding a way to subject neutrinophone to the following taxes:

    1) Federal Excise Tax
    2) Local Communications Services Tax
    3) State Gross Receipts Tax
    4) Telecommunications Relay Service
    5) County 911 Funding Fee
    6) Federal Universal Service Fee

    AND

    7) Federal Subscriber Line and Access Recovery Charge.

    Not to mention the sales tax on 1000 light years of lead...

    Well when they make a neutrino-based, nuclear reactor, detector small enough to fit in an ordinary aircraft, they'll finally be able to track all nuclear submarines . . . DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH!

    What I liked was the line, '. . . StarTrek communicators are based on neutrino communications . . .' <RIGHT>

    So SETI will start using neutrino receivers to contact intelligent life?

    The detector element in this device was 170 tons, and received a directed beam. Nuclear reactors are probably isotropic radiators, sharply cutting the signal strength.

    Considering that supernova SN1987A resulted in only about a dozen neutrinos detected at each site, with far larger detectors, I don't foresee this as a useful SETI tool. Exploding an entire supergiant star for each bit of data to be transmitted, is not an efficient use of available resources.

    I have made a morse code game for iOS called "Morse fun".It is free and fun!You can download it on apple AppStore .
