Teleportation breakthrough with atoms =D

The report struck me as being a step towards something more akin to the "affinity" technology used in Peter F. Hamiltons various stories rather than a teleportation system. For those unfamiliar to his novels, "affinity" is a form of telepathy based on specially designed neural cells that are cloned and contain a signalling mechanism based on quantum entanglement - each cell in pair of cloned neurons is aware of the state of of the other via the phenomenon.

[or something like that ;-)]

:lol:

Also, once a month you'd have to go through a defrag teleportation to correctly put your most used extremities back in place :-D

Thought for the day. If c represents an asymptote in the relativistic equations for time, mass, length in the direction travelled etc, assuming a particle on the brink of crossing that asymptote could pass it, the first effect of time's arrow reversing would be that it would immediately jump back the the point in time just before it crossed it....

Or something bizzare. Assuming you can get past the weirdo effects of the undefined (tends towards infinite) mass etc before you crossed that asymptote.

There's nothing random about cherenkov radiation. It's cool :-) What I can only describe as an "optical boom" :-D

I have a feeling the first 'testers' of the teleporters will be wearing Burberry baseball caps.

Perhaps they will be used to help recalibrate faulty transporters. They can't come out any more messed up than they went in :lol:
