<<Tachyons schmackyons. The Jupiter brain is so smart
that it runs a sim of you, which allows it to anticipate
your every question, then sends the answers ahead of
time so they arrive just as you formulate the question.
You perceive instant feedback, even if the Jbrain is
several light-hours away.
No tachyons needed, given a sufficiently advanced
simulation of your brain.

Good point, but then we're now back at the thread concerning whether its
easier for a supercivilization (individuals or clades or corporations) to
focus on travel or complexity. You side with complexity. But again, I ask, is
there a natural limit to complexity, that is, intelligence? Does intelligence
have a max like lightspeed at 300,000 klicks per second? If it does, do you
think that might motivate the brightest brains to travel? Travel for new
materials, new territory, isolation and growth potential?
