'Twisted light' beamed across Vienna



Physicists have sent a beam of twisted light 3km through the air above Vienna. It is the first time that information has been transmitted outdoors using the "twist" of a visible light beam. This twisting property could allow very fast communication because light with different amounts of twist, encoding separate channels of information, could be sent simultaneously. Reported in the New Journal of Physics, the technique was tested by sending three images of famous Austrians. The images were black-and-white portraits of the physicists Ludwig Boltzmann and Erwin Schroedinger, and composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The cardinal ingresses of the Sun have a traditional reputation as  important mundane events. We are currently in the Libra  ingress quarter . Shown here is the map of the sidereal Libra ingress of the Sun at Vienna. Notice that a powerful Grand Cross containing the Uranus-Pluto square, linked to scientific and technological breakthroughs, occupies the meridian axis. The asteroid Photographica [8li] is conjunct the MC [14li]. In addition the TNP Poseidon forms harmonious aspects to two of the arms of the Cross. Keywords for Poseidon  and Photographica are provided by Martha Wescott [1] [2] [3].

POSEIDON: refraction of light.
PHOTOGRAPHICA:  photography and visual images,

Progressing the chart to November 12 aligns the  Grand Cross with the horizon axis and the TNP Poseidon with the MC triggering an event in which the elements of the figure are contained in the news.
