''We have reached an informational threshold which can only be crossed by harnessing the speed of light directly. The quickest computations require the fastest possible particles moving along the shortest paths. Since the capability now exists to take our information directly from photons travelling molecular distances, the final act of the information revolution will soon be upon us.

''In one moment, Earth; in the next, Heaven.

''What actually transpires beneath the veil of an event horizon? Decent people shouldn't think too much about that."
