[edit] By this definition of "near real time", all "real time" events are "near real time".

Can a meaningful distinction be made between "near real time" and "real time"? If "near real time" is real time, minus processing time; and processing time for any event is always non-zero, (at the very least there will be lightspeed delays) then true "real time" is impossible except at zero distance, which is not possible for bosons. Essentially, everything "real time" would actually be "near real time". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.36.186.2 (talk) 13:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
