1. The Only Wave That Can Maintain the Theoretical Speed of Light Constant: Gravitational Waves
Gravitational waves are currently the only known information carriers that travel at the pure speed of light without being affected by matter. In the real world, even light in a vacuum slightly lags behind the theoretical speed of light constant, c (2.99792458×10^8 m/s). However, gravitational waves, as observed, are the only waves that propagate strictly at this speed without any influence from matter.
Predicted by Einstein's General Relativity, gravitational waves were first directly observed in 2015 by LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) in Hanford and Livingston, USA. The observations confirmed that gravitational waves can propagate across the universe for 13.8 billion years without attenuation.
1-1. Is a Gravitational Wave Computer Possible?
This article explores the possibility of utilizing gravitational waves as a computational resource in the distant future, where all information and communication technologies have reached their pinnacle. Unlike electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves emerge as distortions of spacetime itself and are minimally affected by any medium or matter, traveling at pure light speed anywhere in the universe. This unique property suggests that, unlike electrons or photons used in traditional computers, information processing with gravitational waves could enable transmission of computational results across vast distances without physical or temporal constraints.
2. Einstein’s Definition of Light Speed and Its Differences from Gravitational Waves
2-1. Einstein's Observed Light Speed Was Not the True "Speed of Light"
Albert Einstein, in his Special (1905) and General (1915) Theories of Relativity, defined the speed of light (c) as the ultimate attainable speed. He asserted that only light (electromagnetic waves) could reach this speed and that no physical information could exceed it. However, Einstein did not rigorously distinguish between "light," "electromagnetic waves," and "gravitational waves." Consequently, the definition of "speed of light" varies significantly in scientific literature.
2-2. Light Traveling Through Optical Fibers is Slower than the Light Speed Constant
Unlike gravitational waves, observable light (visible light, infrared, X-rays, etc.) does not strictly match the light speed constant c due to interactions with matter. For example, light passing through optical fibers is slowed down by the refractive index (n) and can travel at only about 70% of c (c/n). Neutrinos have been observed to move faster than light in optical fibers but still remain below the light speed constant. This suggests that Einstein's definition of "the ultimate speed for information transmission in the universe" differs from the behavior of real-world light.
3. The Impact of True Light Speed Constants (Meta-Semantics) on Human Language Evolution
Einstein's defined "speed of light" was based on Maxwell's equations for electromagnetic waves (photons). Later, it was theoretically proven that gravitational waves also propagate at the same light speed. However, the true light speed constant was only directly observed by LIGO on September 14, 2015, at 09:51 UTC. This breakthrough fundamentally changed human conceptual frameworks.
3-1. No Light in This World Can Achieve the Theoretical Light Speed Constant
Photons, which are considered massless, are defined to move at the light speed constant c in a vacuum. However, classical vacuum states do not truly exist. In modern quantum theory, even in an ideal vacuum, quantum fluctuations exist, meaning no photon can ever reach the true theoretical maximum speed. The only entity that can theoretically achieve this speed is spacetime itself, observed as gravitational waves.
3-2. True "Speed of Light" Means Time Does Not Exist (or is Infinite)
A photon traveling at 70% of c in an optical fiber experiences time dilation, where one second in its frame corresponds to about 1.387 seconds in Earth's time. Neutrinos moving at 99.99% of c experience 71 Earth seconds for every second in their frame. However, gravitational waves, moving at the speed of the light constant, experience no passage of time at all—effectively rendering them eternal from the perspective of the universe.
4. The Possibility of Predicting the Future with Gravitational Wave Computing
4-1. Information Transmission Mediums for Gravitational Wave Computers
If gravitational waves could be harnessed for computation, then theoretically, a "gravitational wave computer" could use the spacetime continuum itself as a computing resource. Such a system could search across past, present, and future states of the universe. Encoding information into gravitational waves and transmitting computational results through them would require entirely new programming languages and database structures.
5. The Challenges of Building a Gravitational Wave Computer
5-1. Current Gravitational Wave Detection Constraints
Current gravitational wave detection relies on massive infrastructures like LIGO, requiring 4-km-long arms and 10 km2 facilities. The precision required to detect gravitational waves at the atomic scale makes miniaturization a major challenge. However, just as personal computers evolved from room-sized machines to pocket-sized smartphones, advancements in gravitational wave technology may one day lead to personal gravitational wave computers.
5-2. Technical Limitations
Harnessing gravitational waves for computation faces several challenges similar to quantum computing, including decoherence and scalability issues. Additionally, artificially generating and controlling gravitational waves remains unsolved, as current detection relies on cosmic-scale events like black hole mergers.
6. Technical Challenges of Gravitational Wave Computing
To evaluate the technical constraints of gravitational wave computers, we must examine the current bottlenecks in general-purpose technologies and identify areas where breakthroughs are needed.
6.1. Physical Constraints of Semiconductors
The miniaturization of semiconductors has progressed according to Moore’s Law, which states that transistor density doubles approximately every two years. In the latest semiconductor technology (e.g., TSMC and Intel's 2nm processes), but the gate length between the transistor’s source and drain is not actually 2nm, Silicon base Gate pitch is 45nm, Metal pitch(copper interconnector) is about 20nm. Copper line width is 9nm(Lithography capacity). Meanwhile, the atomic radius of copper is approximately 0.128 nm, meaning the minimum wire width has reached a level composed of just a few dozen copper atoms. Further miniaturization would lead to quantum tunneling effects, making electron control impossible: Cobalt(Co), Ruthenium (Ru), Tungsten (W) .
While increasing transistor density enhances performance, it also raises power consumption and heat generation, making cooling more challenging. Additionally, as wiring becomes extremely thin, resistance in copper wires increases due to electron scattering (surface scattering), slowing signal transmission. Since electrons are much smaller than copper atoms, miniaturization remains theoretically possible if a conductor with an atomic radius smaller than copper is found. Potential candidates include carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene-based nanomaterials. However, high procurement and processing costs make immediate practical application difficult.
6.2. Common Technical Constraints Between Quantum Computers and Gravitational Wave Generators
Quantum computers utilize quantum bits (qubits) that exploit "entanglement" and "superposition" to solve problems beyond classical computation. However, they face fundamental challenges, including "decoherence" (where quantum states degrade due to environmental interference) and "scalability." Quantum computers are constructed from materials such as aluminum, silicon, and diamond, and their operational conditions vary—some require extreme low temperatures near absolute zero (-273.15°C), while others can function at room temperature. Maintaining qubit stability requires specialized materials and advanced isolation techniques, making large-scale quantum computing difficult.
6.3. Technical Constraints of Gravitational Wave Computing
Like quantum computing, generating and controlling gravitational waves involves challenges related to "localization" and "decoherence." Currently, gravitational wave emissions are only observed from high-energy astrophysical events such as black hole mergers and supernovae. No established technology exists for intentional generation or precise control of gravitational waves.
Even if artificial gravitational wave generation becomes possible, it would require techniques similar to quantum computing, where external environmental influences must be eliminated, and pinpoint precision control is necessary.
Additionally, just as semiconductors have reached physical limits due to atomic sizes, gravitational waves—being massless and extremely small—exist at a force scale even smaller than atoms, quarks, or neutrinos. Whether humanity can recognize and control them remains an open challenge.
For instance, semiconductor-based computers control electrons at the molecular level using materials like silicon, carbon, and copper. However, no material has yet been discovered that can precisely control forces as weak as gravitational waves.
Currently, LIGO detects gravitational waves using an L-shaped Michelson interferometer with two 4km-long arms. As a gravitational wave passes through, spacetime stretches and contracts, causing the arm lengths to change by approximately 10?1?m (less than 1/1000th the diameter of an atomic nucleus). These tiny fluctuations are detected via laser interference, meaning that gravitational waves are measured indirectly through their effects on spacetime.
6.4. Challenges in the Utilization and Control of Gravitational Waves
Even if gravitational wave generators and detectors become a reality, gravitational waves manifest as distortions of spacetime itself, making it difficult to control them through simple signal processing methods like transistor ON/OFF switching in conventional electronic circuits.
Moreover, gravitational waves are extremely weak, so miniaturization could pose challenges in maintaining detection accuracy. Identifying the sources of astrophysical events, such as celestial collisions, would also remain a significant issue. Therefore, before considering the computational capabilities of gravitational wave computers, a fundamental question arises: "Can they be established as a controllable computational medium in the first place?"
However, humanity is persistent. If future geniuses were to overcome all these constraints and gravitational wave computers were already operational, what kind of world would we be living in?
7. The Nature of Gravitational Wave Computers
7.1. If Gravitational Wave Computers Become Reality, the Future Will Update the Past
Theoretically, if computations using gravitational waves became feasible, it would be possible to search for information across past and future timelines, transcending conventional notions of time and space. If gravitational wave computers were already established in the future, their effects might already be influencing the present. The nature of gravitational wave computers suggests the following potential actions:
In other words, the past and future would become relative concepts, and present decisions would influence both. Similarly, foreseeing the future and altering it would, in turn, impact both the present and the past.
7.2. Gravitational Wave Computers Could Enable Communication with Historical Figures
One could even imagine scenarios like accessing Albert Einstein in 1905 when he published the theory of relativity and prompting him to refine his theory based on discoveries from 2025, reinforcing his status as a legendary physicist.
If such an interaction were possible, spacetime would function like cloud software, where past, present, and future continuously update and evolve together. This suggests a new hypothesis in spacetime theory and cosmology: rather than time flowing linearly, it operates as a dynamic network where events influence each other across different points in history. If such interactions are real, then some force enabling these influences should be observable. Perhaps in the near future, a mechanism for interactions across different points in spacetime will be discovered.
7.3. The Emergence of "Meta-Future" Instead of Classical Future
Traditional "future" (classical future) follows a linear progression from past to present to future, adhering to the law of increasing entropy. However, considering the relativity of time, an alternative concept—"Meta Future"—emerges, where past, present, and future all influence each other and update simultaneously.
A useful analogy is cloud software updates: rather than existing as isolated points, all timestamps in the timeline are networked and co-evolve dynamically. If we name this concept "Meta Future," then classical time models become part of a higher-order metatime framework. Meta Future, in this sense, can be understood as "Meta-Timespace Semantics," a network model of time.
8. Meta-Timespace Semantics
8.1. Defining Meta-Timespace Semantics
If we assume that meta-timespace semantics exist, then a "temporal feedback loop" forms, wherein information from the future, present, and past continuously updates in a dynamic network, making time a mutually interactive structure.
8.2. Meta-Sales & Marketing in Meta-Timespace
If meta-timespace semantics hold true within relativity, then "Meta Time-Space Sales & Marketing" emerges as a new paradigm, where transactions can originate from the past, present, or future. Classical sales and marketing concepts would evolve into "Meta-Timespace Sales & Marketing."
8.3. Transactions That Interconnect Future, Past, and Present
Traditional transactions operate on a simple cause-effect principle: present marketing efforts influence future sales. However, under meta-timespace/meta-future concepts, entirely new transaction models appear:
8.3.1. Future-Incoming Orders
8.3.2. Past-Incoming Orders
8.3.3. Meta-Present Transactions
8.3.4. Meta-Time Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Trading
8.3.5. Meta-Timespace Dynamic Pricing
9. The Ultimate Competitive Advantage: Competing with Future Beings
If competitors can move freely through future and past timelines, what constitutes true competitive strength?
This shifts the landscape of competition beyond present-day businesses and nations to include past geniuses and future innovators who harness gravitational computing.
9.1. The Danger of Complacency in "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants"
People believe they can see the future clearly by standing on the shoulders of past giants. However, the real competitors are "future geniuses" who also stand on the shoulders of past figures, making it essential to strategize for outperforming them.
9.2. How to Compete Against Future Beings
For modern business leaders, achieving a competitive edge means:
9.3. Time Neutrality: Eliminating the Advantage of Birth Era
If the future can be preemptively understood, those born earlier may actually have an advantage. In a relativistic time model, the question of whether future or past individuals hold the advantage becomes ambiguous.
9.4. Competitive Positioning in the Age of Gravitational Computing
In a future where gravitational computing exists, winning competition will depend not just on fast data processing but on the ability to predict the logical conclusions of all possible computational outcomes across spacetime and accurately foresee future needs.
9.5. Modern Humanity is More Advantageous than Einstein’s Era
The race is no longer just between corporations but between past and future geniuses. Since gravitational waves—theoretically capable of achieving true light speed—were first detected in 2015, one could argue that the competition with future beings has already begun.
In this sense, those living in the present (post-2015) are at an advantage compared to Einstein’s era, when gravitational waves were not yet observed.
10.4. The Breakdown of Classical Temporal Causality
If "future transactions alter past markets," then a fundamental issue arises: which data is truly accurate?
If the information in this article were to travel back in time via gravitational waves, prompting Einstein to distinguish more clearly between electromagnetic and gravitational waves, then the past would be updated. This would serve as evidence that the future, present, and past have become relativized through gravitational waves. However, if all three were simultaneously updated in a meta-timespace framework, current technology lacks the means to record the differences between the original and modified versions. Nevertheless, if all information is preserved somewhere, it is likely that a gravitational wave passing through spacetime carries this knowledge. As of 2025, no method exists to observe or prove such meta-timespace updates, but a solution may be hidden somewhere in the universe or spacetime itself.
11. Conclusion
If gravitational wave computing becomes a reality, future predictions and large-scale cosmic computations will become possible, relativizing the past, present, and future. Humanity's total accessible intelligence has undergone an explosive increase since LIGO detected gravitational waves traveling at the speed of light on September 14, 2015.
With advancements in cloud computing, security, and AI, modern society has enabled people to communicate and work from anywhere on Earth via the internet. Similarly, if gravitational waves become viable information carriers, they could propagate information at "pure light speed" across the universe, unhindered by time or space. This would enable a fundamentally different mode of computation compared to traditional methods that rely on electrons or photons, allowing computational results to be transmitted across vast distances without physical constraints.
This article merely explores the nature of gravitational waves and does not speculate on when or how such technology might materialize. However, regardless of whether it takes 1,000 or 10,000 years, if we trust in our descendants, humanity will inevitably develop gravitational wave computing. Given the minuscule nature of gravitational waves, they may not be captured by atoms or housed in conventional casings made of plastic or aluminum as imagined in 2025. Nevertheless, if this technology emerges, it is plausible that messages will have been sent back to align with LIGO’s 2015 detection of gravitational waves.
Even if gravitational wave computing was not developed by Earth’s civilization, the probability remains high that extraterrestrial messages—originating from either a distant past or future within a habitable zone—arrived on September 14, 2015. Since gravitational waves traverse the entire fabric of spacetime at light speed without experiencing time, it is almost certain that intelligent messages are encrypted within them. If humanity discovers a method to decrypt these signals, communication could eventually be established.
12. The Potential for a New Gravitational Wave Language
To decipher gravitational wave messages, an entirely new database and software language, which we might call Gravitational Wave Language (GWL), would be required.
Even if gravitational wave computing does not materialize within the remaining decades of our lifetime, there is no harm in contemplating its theoretical implications today. Given that gravitational waves represent the ultimate convergence point of spacetime forces in the universe, their study remains invaluable. Much like NP-complete problems, gravitational waves may already influence decision-making in business and daily life.
For instance, even without being physically present, a company leader might sense an intuitive "premonition" about good or bad developments just from hearing a brief remark from an employee or imagining a distant team member. This could suggest that humanity has already harnessed gravitational wave communication at a subconscious level. Likewise, a 37-year-old inheriting a 93-year-old company may be understood more simply if meta-timespace is assumed—business succession may, in essence, be an attempt to find an heir across spacetime.
Similarly, learning from past mistakes to avoid repeating them or adjusting present actions based on future predictions may also be manifestations of gravitational waves enabling time-spanning searches for optimal decisions. This suggests that gravitational waves are not just a theoretical construct but a force that humanity has long been intuitively utilizing. Thus, we propose an NP-complete perspective: the ability to sense and act on information across spacetime may already be an intrinsic human capability.
