Доставил Форбс: “To produce encoded neutrinos, you would need an accelerator which you can control, in order to accelerate protons to high energy, then slam them into a target and let the resulting secondary particles decay into neutrinos,” said John Learned, a particle physicist at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. “The higher the energy, the better the neutrinos would point.” Because neutrinos travel at the speed of light, traders using the technology would on average have a nearly 30 millisecond time advantage, with participating London and Sydney brokerages garnering a full 44 milliseconds.

дежа вю. Сынок взял, сыграл все синкопы правильно (в данном случае, в дуэте с учительницой, это сложнее). Учительница спрашивает тихо - а это как у вас вышло? Ну, говорю, да, пришлось маленько потрудиться над ними.
