Microphotonics is an emerging branch of optics . Laboratory work recently suggest that speed of light can be decreased, but not increased. So there must be some technology behind to increase the speed of light. That would help us control the properties of light like any matter.Certainly can look forward for a faster High-definition travel in the future.Can improve-make faster the current speed of networking also using quantum teleportation or Optical Networking if the speed of light is increased.

You cannot "freeze" a speed, first of all. Theoretically it could be decreased, but I could also "theoretically" be sleeping with Brooke Burke right now. Same as your question...believe it if you want to, but there is no proof.

Network has already extracted pretty much from light. Single mode, multi mode and multiple stream data transfer at a time through 1 beam using different wavelengths of different colors, that’s Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing - DWDM. Still there limitation on network that it haven’t reached the speed more than 10Gbps (that’s less than 10^10 Hz) on fiber in real life network devices, it’s because limitation of semiconductors that limit frequency and problems in transmission and reception (sensing). Theoretically maximum speed network can achieve using light is as frequency on cosmic rays (that’s 10^22Hz), that too if semiconductors can work that fast and can transmit one bit per waveform or exceed this limit if managed to bunch more bits in 1 wave (impossible to achieve). This thing is possible if we go ahead of using semiconductors (electron form) for digital processing, and start doing all digital processing using optical form/photon form (no electrons, this will change/end definition of electronics, rather starts a new science), its END to END light that will be get processed though out digital devices, processors, memory, routers, switches. Just imagine this stuff.

Increasing light’s speed is just a dream; I can add something to this dream, just a simple random idea/imagination - If we can initiate light from light then it will certainly give speed more speed than light but actually won’t change light’s original speed. This is when we can manage to transfer data in running from first photon’s path to second photon’s path that started from first one.

In real life I am satisfied with current data transfer and processing speeds, it’s adequate to human working speed and brain.

Faster than c (light speed in vacuum) communication poses several physical paradoxes that seem to imply that such speeds are impossible to attain.

Nice try. But it's very easy to slow things down and quite another matter to speed them up.

Keep reading those sci-fi books, though.

precisely mild %? likely no longer. Small problem with time dilation: time flows extra slowly for spacecraft at intense % (we are speaking very, very intense %). At precisely the speed of light, time bypass must be stopped. In different words, for the individuals contained in the gap craft going at precisely the speed of light, the time it takes to cover any distance is exactly 0. So, even as do you settle on to give up? so a procedures because the motive force is in contact, the time to get to planet A is 0, even as the time it takes to bypass to planet B (at 5 circumstances the gap) is likewise 0. she will't tell even as to slam on the brakes. different planets (round our sunlight) at the instantaneous are not that a procedures. Going to Mars, as an celebration, ought to takes months (properly the total vacation ought to take more suitable than 2 years in case you want to keep on gasoline) in spite of our "sluggish" rockets. yet that retains to be achievable. some human beings were commonly used to stay more suitable than 2 years..... As for planets going round different stars, efficient, we ought to ought to bypass very quick (purely about the speed of light) to get there. in spite of the actual incontrovertible truth that -- as seen by employing someone staying in the international -- it ought to take more suitable than 12 years to get to a planet 12 mild-years away (if there is one), the crew contained in the gap craft ought to in ordinary words sense that it took, allow's say, 3 three hundred and sixty 5 days -- if the deliver is going quick adequate (because of time dilation). there is extra about this on Wikipedia. --- I easily have assumed that you've been speaking about the "% of light in a vacuum" it extremely is the speed decrease in this universe. even as mild travels in some mediums (like glass or water), that is slowed down. that is achievable to deliver debris by potential of water, swifter than the "% of light in water" and that isn't no longer achievable in accordance to regular Relativity. yet no longer swifter than the speed of light in a vacuum. Time dilation is calculated from the deliver's % with regards to "% of light in a vacuum""

I believe it can indeed be increased. It can be decreased, that has been documented.
