A feather and a bowling ball will fall at the same rate in a vacuum. So will a neutrino.
I think there is some argument with that. Some theories state a Neutrino is massless and travels at the speed of light in a vaccum. I don’t think Neutrinos ‘fall’ in the same sense as a feather or a bowling ball. Maybe I just have reached the limit of my understanding of this. I think we can at least both agree that there needs to be more research on the neutrino before anything can be stated with confidence.
Never mind, even light is subject to gravity. I don’t know what I was thinking.
That's nothing. Just last night, I said something to my 17-year old son, and he acted like he actually heard it!

Or simply decimal US Survey feet, but Amen!
Sounds to me like an antenna transmission system with a beamwidth too small to be practically useful. Aperture size, gain and directivity rules wouldn’t apply here...
It would seem to me a damned difficult thing to point or receive....
But with a beam, you can send the message as a coded modulated signal that only the intended redeiver can recognize. Beats a RR track every time. :o)
This is already obsolete- It can be blocked by beams of anti-neutinos.
