I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Can anyone point me to research
on the following question:
If I throw a ball to you, we know that it passes through the air between us.
(unless we are in a vacuum, in which case we would both be dead etc etc)
Q: When a data packet 'travels' from one node to the next, does it pass
through anything? What is between the nodes? I know transfer is very fast
but nevertheless it is still transfer so there must be a point where it is
in neither place so it must be somewhere else. Shouldn't it? Or have I
misunderstood?
All hypotheses welcome. Preferably those I can understand ;)
