News of Teleportation

[Karlos]

I saw this yesterday was very interesting they have now taken another big leap in teleportation, really cool stuff. Read the article here: Scientists make teleportation breakthrough - Yahoo! News UK

very interesting, looking back about 120 years there was only really steam powered technology, no cars, no planes but 60 years later men were on the moon and computers made a big appearance. nowadays people take tech. for granted but i'm sure that in 50-100 years from now everthing will be technically evolving so fast that almost anything will be possible. great thought provoker.

cheers

Very interesting, macroscopic teleportation. I hope, to say more, but, right now, I'm off to meet my wife and daughter for lunch.

Huh? Don't tell Neil Armstrong this. Who was it btw?

I have the read the paper on which the link in the original post is based.

They teleported Schrodinger's cat in its quantum superposition of live and dead states! (Metaphorically speaking.)

I'm always sceptically when such thing appear in April. Was this posted on the 1st?

Lol! There is no need to be sceptical Spaceboy

Quantum entanglement is the method; two objects A & B informatively identical, you change one and the other changes. Using this instant communication (Faster than the speed of light), you can inject C into A which will therefore also appear at B, creating teleportation (Of a sort). This is a very vague explanation, I know, but this is an interesting concept which makes me feel less like I'm to miss out on spacetravel, which I'm sure the future persons will do for a holiday
