Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) (also known as Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), IMT Single Carrier (IMT-SC), or Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution) is a digital mobile phone technology that allows improved data transmission rates as a backward-compatible extension of GSM. EDGE is considered a pre-3G radio technology and is part of ITU's 3G definition. EDGE was deployed on GSM networks beginning in 2003 – initially by Cingular (now AT&T) in the United States.EDGE is standardized also by 3GPP as part of the GSM family. A variant, so called Compact-EDGE, was developed for use in a portion of Digital AMPS network spectrum.Through the introduction of sophisticated methods of coding and transmitting data, EDGE delivers higher bit-rates per radio channel, resulting in a threefold increase in capacity and performance compared with an ordinary GSM/GPRS connection.
EDGE can be used for any packet switched application, such as an Internet connection.
Evolved EDGE continues in Release 7 of the 3GPP standard providing reduced latency and more than doubled performance e.g. to complement High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA). Peak bit-rates of up to 1 Mbit/s and typical bit-rates of 400 kbit/s can be expected.
Question about the "edge of the universe"
Okay, the farthter away you look, the farther back in time you are seeing, right? When you talk about seeing some object 11 billion light years away, you are seeing something as it existed a long time ago.
So, since the universe is expanding, that...
There was a great one by D. Williamson near the bottom of this page

And another great one by J. McWhorter, the third from the top of this page

"Computer simulations show a close encounter with a passing star about 4 billion years ago may have given our solar system its abrupt edge and put small, alien worlds into distant orbits around our sun."

And what will we find there? Maybe us.
What would be wrong with considering that we ARE on the edge of the universe!
After all every where we look we can only see into the past where thinks get smaller and older the further away they are until reaches the very small BIG BANG space.

A uniform chain of length 8.00m initially lies stretched out on a horizontal table.
a)
If the coefficient of static friction between the chain and the table is 0.600, show that the chain will begin to slide off the table if at least 3.00m of it hangs over the edge of the table.
b)...
"Review of Cosmic Vision 2015-2025" begins: "The Cosmic Vision workshop at UNESCO on 15-16 September 2004 showed that Europe is richer than ever in ideas for what should be done in space science in the coming years. This workshop brought us a major step forward in developing the vision of the...
Does anyone know what would be in a field that would have a light on it, except its a structure and not a house, it had 3 lights on it in odd places.I couldn't tell what it was.I don't know much about farming or anything like that but the fields on the edge of my town are growing crops and...
I know that there is a way to bisect an angle using that equipment, but is there a way to trisect it. I have heard it is possible to do it by constructing a regular polygon with sides of a multiple of 3 around the angle.
Does any1 have anything?
What happens to light when it reaches the edge of the universe?
it couldn't keep on traveling into nothingingness could it? becuase that nothingness would be space.
it couldn't reflect off something unless there was matter at the edge to reflect off.
the light must do something, it...
Would you want to see cutting edge theoretical debates?
Howdy everyone, I am doing a little bit of 'research' for a website idea of mine and I am very very eager for some feedback on it.
Essentially I want to know if you, the people of our world who are interested in...

First, we find in the skeptics dictionary that the concept is not well defined.

Next, the concept predates modern physics and is no more valid than 12th century physics.
Consider Occam's original premise:
Clearly the credibility of this premise died with...
