Posted May 25, 200817 yr I found this quite fascinating. For those that dont want to read the article, basically a giant telescope was constructed from London to New York. People on both sides were able to see one another at different times of day.....http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/05/22...ject/index.html sweet Edited May 25, 200817 yr by y_d0c

I didn't read the link, but I know what you're talking about and it's just an art concept. Called a Telectroscope, right? Edited May 25, 200817 yr by Gebrochen

If they could make a tunnel from London to New York, they wouldn't do it for a "Telectroscope".

If they could make a tunnel from London to New York, they wouldn't do it for a "Telectroscope".Yeah, there's nothing "constructed" between NY and London in this article unless you count the fiber optic internet cables or satellite links transmitting a signal that anyone here could duplicate in their own home. It's an art project sponsored by the same people who did that Sultan's elephant thing... lemme find it.. brb ..ahh.. here... INCREDIBLE stuff.It's not a real telescope between NY and London anymore than that's a real elephant :-) Edited May 25, 200817 yr by Gebrochen
