if we use a prism to split light into a rainbow, you can send light information 8 or more times the speed of light, so a rainbow I'm just saying 8 coulors but you could probably decode many more variats in the beam , maybe infinite , so with a single light beam you may have infinite info
so space communication could be instant only needing a blink of light to send limitless info.
also this method of modulating a light beam with infinite data could be used in internet comms, the whole internet could be transmited instantly, so could tv & video be sent.
the idea is to split light with a prism into a rainbow, now each beam can have many variants, I'm also thinking it may be possible to get more data by further passing the raindow indivual beams through more prisms , its really a new science that needs to be investigated.
Prisms don't speed up light when they separate the colors. In fact, they actually slow it down- that's what causes the 'rainbow' as different colors bend by different amounts depending on how much they slow down.
Unless you meant you could send 8 times the information at the speed of light in a sort of '8-bus' parallel connection.
What I was suggesting , was if we can get a rainbow of 8 beams from one beam, then we have speeded what we can send 8 times, so that means 8 times speed of light. we are not going faster than the speed of light techniccaly, but we have multiplied the data
can you imagine encrypted data like secure payments on the internet traveling through prisms? no more wires, just a prism transmitter and a reciever. the transmitter tower could distinguish easily between light spectrums etc...
We're still trying to get Windi to upgrade from these

Much of the signal will get lost (especially in earth's atmosphere)
For example they measure the earth-moon distance with a laser. Only about one part in 30 million of the light send to the moon gets reflected back.

What if we put lasers on sharks?!

what I'm suggesting, all gets transmited is contained in a white light beam, and all the info is in one blink, so if you get back a smaller intensity, you can just boost it, its like the tv ariel you can boost, the signal is present in all the light beam for as long as you want, no time limit a blink will do.

I feel sad that I actualy tried this method

You can't intensify what is lost and you can't afford to lose a single bit. Look at the Hadron Collider (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider) and the technology it needs to send a few particles over a few kilometers.

Its a little different than what your visualising, my idea is a light beam of one single piece of information, itas madeup of many parts to get to the correct white light, then when you decode it through a prism you get the various parts back.
also, you would not use a narrow laser beam, this idea uses a wide beam of a certain shade.
can I give an example,
you can see many stars in the sky, but if you pass the light through a prism they would have a rainbow with plenty of differrencies, In my idea you would encode a light source with your madeup rainbow, and then decode it at the other end
