The document discusses orders of magnitude and scale in the universe. It begins by comparing sizes of fundamental particles like atoms and nuclei to larger structures like bacteria, humans, Earth, the Sun, solar systems, galaxies, and the observable universe. It then discusses densities and distances at both small atomic scales and large cosmic scales, noting that matter is sparsely distributed at both extremes. The document goes on to define concepts like the speed of light, light-years, and how observing distant objects means seeing them in the past due to the long travel time of light across immense distances in the universe.

Title: ''Interstellar communication: What works (not so) well and why? "
Abstract: Our nearest neighbor star, Alpha Centauri C, has a planet in the habitable zone. The Russian billionaire Yuri Milnor funds research to send an exploration probe there. Obtaining remote observational data from such a probe is not trivial because of minimal instrumentation (gram scale) and large distances (pc). Together, we follow the long journey of a photon from the transmitter beam through the interstellar dust and gas, atmospheric turbulence, and other obstacles, before finally arriving in the receiver on Earth. We discuss wavelength/frequency choices, gravitational lensing, and particles other than photons, such as Neutrinos. We conclude by asking the "big picture" question: Only when we understand how to communicate efficiently over interstellar communications, we can hope to learn how to receive such communications from other civilizations, if they exist. Are radio waves the best choice?

These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for Uber’s taxi service. Uber’s service enables anyone to provide taxi services and it provides dynamic pricing for better matching of supply and demand. Its value proposition for potential drivers is the opportunity to work as driver on their own hours. Its value proposition for user to lower taxi fares during most times of the day and a higher supply of taxis (and higher prices) during peak demand. The customers are tech-savvy and smart phone users who value their time. Uber receives payments directly from customers and keeps a percentage of these payments as its income. Uber’s patents for a demand-price algorithm represent a barrier of entry and thus a method of strategic control.

Reminders: light
Light is an electromagnetic wave, consisting of a magnetic field and an electric field oscillating perpendicular to each other in a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the light wave. In a vacuum, light travels in a straight line at the speed of light noted c.
speed of light in a vacuum
Exact value
The exact value of the speed of light was fixed in 1983 by the Bureau of Weights and Measures at c = 299 792 458 m/s or c = 2.99792458 x 10 8 m/s, using the units of the international system. It can also be expressed in kilometers per hour by multiplying the value in m/s by 3.6: c = 1,079,252,848.8 km/h or c = 1.0792528488 x 10 9 km/h. This value, which represents a fundamental constant of physics, can be used for calculations requiring great precision. It is also used to define the meter in the international system of units: one meter corresponds to the length traveled in a vacuum by light for a duration of 1/299,792,458 seconds.
A brief historical reminder of the speed of light
The first conception concerning light suppose that it can be either present in a space, or absent: the light would therefore be instantaneous. The Arab scholar Alhazen (965-1039) was interested in optics and wrote reference treatises. He is the first to have the intuition that the appearance of light is not instantaneous, that it has a speed of propagation, but he cannot prove it.
Galileo (1564-1039) tries to measure the propagation time of light between two hills using two people a few kilometers apart and equipped with clocks. He fails to measure the speed of light (which, in the context of this experiment, takes 10 -5 seconds to travel the previously defined distance, not measurable for the time) and deduces from the failure of this experiment that the speed of propagation of light is very high.
Cassini (1625-1712) speculated that the irregularity in the movement of Io, a satellite of Jupiter, could come from a delay in the arrival of light from the satellite, "such that it takes 10 or 11 minutes for it travels a distance equal to the radius of the Earth's orbit". Römer (1644-1710) explains the discrepancy between the eclipses of Io (a satellite of Jupiter) and Cassini's predictions by assuming that light has a speed of propagation. It is the first to give an order of magnitude of the speed of light.
Bradley (1693-1762) confirms Römer's hypothesis and proposes a first estimate of the speed of light at approximately 10188 times that of the rotation of the Earth around the Sun, the latter being however poorly known. His discovery is linked to the aberration of light,
