That’s indeed a question only about time. If now, instead of READING it, as in send/reflect, one only scans a laser-beam over it, and then the cells being scanned, send out an electrical signal, or, by multiplying effect, sends out different photon’s, which are now being picked / read, then we would have a lightning…

Oh, you mean in form of, that future archaeologists will be asking themselves, why we made these completely irrelevant circular disks with no use... ?

And this is already being done. I am not sure where I read this, but it is already being done...
