Traditional data transfer methods, such as radio signals, are hindered by the vast distances between stars and galaxies. The speed of light, approximately 299,792,458 meters per second, becomes a significant bottleneck when transmitting data across interstellar space. For instance, a 1-petabyte file transfer between Earth and Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Sun, would take around 8.3 years, even at the speed of light. This delay makes real-time communication and data sharing impractical, if not impossible.
