Holy buckets!
Not the same as star trek but it's still interesting.

Yeah, I read about that. Impressive for now but it won't help me steal the worlds greatest works of art or my neighbors milk crates.

Now all we have to do is figure out a way past that really annoying Heisenburg Principle--perhaps quantum computing can show us the way--and people transport might be possible?
...
Well, no, there's still a lot of other stuff that would be impossible that you'd need to do.
Still, this is quite intriguing indeed.

F that. I don't want to end up like The Fly.
The difficult we can do already, the impossible only takes a little longer. Filo Farnsworth.
Uncertainty principle got you down? Kids coming home from school as puddles of mush? Try the new TR-116 series Heisenburg compensators in your home transporter unit and watch your troubles fade away...and then reappear somewhere else.
I don't understand. What did they teleport? How big was it? They made it sound as if they just turned an object into light and teleported that. Did they reconstitute the object at the other end? :confused:

They took a bunch of atoms.
Basic they transported one thing impossible to see from one place to the other.
As long as they don't open portals to: hell, blackholes, alternate universes, or Alien Worlds then I guess they can continue.

oh i just love if that happen
i got to stock up on ammo and weapons just to be safe
for the things i can fight as for a blackhole run as fasts as i can an hope to find a spaceship off earth

Wow, that's pretty cool. I wonder what interesting outcomes it could have.

quantom computing will kick ass. i want my computer to know the answer to what i'm asking it before i've even asked it :eek:

Holy shitballs on toast! Quantum entanglement over macroscopic distances! :eek:
I'm a little confused on one point, if light is being used as the transmitter of quantum information, am I to assume that transmissions of that information still limited by the speed of light? Or is it instantaneous once quantum entanglement has been established?

Even if it was teleportation at the speed of light, it's a hell of a lot faster than the bus.

No.
Basically, they 'scanned' an object(in the process, destroying it, and 'reprogrammed' another object on the other side of the transmission to become the original object. You can't transmit matter, but you can transmit the information and recreate the object from existing matter on the other side.
Which brings up a number of interesting controversies, because if you were to teleport a person, then technically, you are killing the original and creating a duplicate of the original elsewhere. Is it the same person?

Well, that's just it. One of the greatest mysteries of science is whether quantum entanglement is limited by the speed of light. We've never been able to establish it at distancs adequate to find out. But we might find out soon, won't we?

Heh... well, at least I have some familiarity with that (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=495703) issue...
