An earth-borne physical being cannot presently travel as described, but are essentially reading light, information transmitted via photon. To innately do this without all the intermediaries would be very interesting. The pace at which technology changes though, just here on earth, the information received would be irrelevant and out of date by the time it reached its destination. How would you begin to track the advancement of Moore's Law over the next 2 years and transmit it over 1000 light years and have it be remotely relevant?
