We envision that by 2020, we will have developed optics capable of relaying natural light across time zones without using electricity.
Lens receptors located around the world focus natural sunlight into a network of underground optical fibre. 3 meter diameter bundles of optical fibers transverse continents are laid along the ocean floor. Each individual silica fibre is doped with a special combination of rare earth molecules to amplify the magnitude of light. Bundles of optical fibre are split with distribution connection boxes, which are under vacuum to minimize loss of light intensity.
