Of course, lab techniques and weird relationships, why didn't I think of that!
Sounds very scientific.
I thought Willy Wonka invented this already.

When Lex Luthor aimed a Duplicator Ray at Superman, without his knowledge, the result was Bizarro. An imperfect double of Superman with Super powers, but opposite from the Man of Steel. For instance, Green Kryptonite will kill Superman and not harm Bizarro. But Blue Kryptonite will. Superman's Fortress is in the Artic, Bizarro's is on a square planet in the Desert.
This is more like "Subspace communications".
Is this really 'teleportation' or the near-instantaneous creation of a copy?
Big difference...
Beam me up ping
This is way cool.
While an interesting bit of science ( and one that merely confirms much of what is now called "modern" phsysics), your title is not only misleading it is out and out wrong. To transfer "state" information from one atom to another is NOT the same as making atoms move from one location to another....Don't get so excited...this is the natural progression from research that has been ongoing since the 80s ( that I am aware of)
Not so much for the transporter - but it might make for good “subspace communications”.
ping!
Dangit! We ALL coulda gone to wedding-moot!
If time travel was possible, visitors from the future would already have been here. Personally, I would have traveled to 1986 and invested $10,000 in Microsoft and laid another $10,000 in Vegas that the Red Sox would lose the World Series to the New York Mets in 7 games.
Basically, researchers can use lab techniques to create a weird relationship between pairs of tiny particles. After that, the fate of one particle instantly affects the other; if one particle is made to take on a certain set of properties, the other immediately takes on identical or opposite properties, no matter how far away it is and without any apparent physical connection to the first particle.
OK, so you establish the relationship between two particles of unstable matter, say Plutonium. Then let soem bad guys get hold of a load of Plutonium big enough to make a nasty bomb out of, but you've managed to insert one half of your "coupled" pair into this critical mass. Let the bad guys smuggle their ill gotten gains to, oh, I don't know, UBLs lair. You then simply place the "lonely" particle in an atom smasher at the focal point of your beam and I think you might be able to trigger a dandy little surprise for the baddies.
Going back to the ST transporter, I've never been able to figure out why they never used IT as a weapon. Say beaming out a big chunk of the side of your enemies ship, or his engine core. Would have nasty effects.
Now watch this comment be pulled... reason... loose lips.
If this is achieved, we should first teleport Islamo-fascists to the moon, or perhaps Mars, with no way of being teleported back.
Shades of the Fly.
I don't want to be first.
I need a tooth pulled.....don't worry...we'll telleport all of you except your tooth.
Or how about...Man that guy sure has bad gas.Don't worry...we'll telleport him except for his butt.
For the first time physicists have forged quantum entanglement between two large blobs of gas. The achievement brings closer the possibility of super-fast quantum computers and teleportation1.
It is named after Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen, who published the idea in 1935
I saw this guy speak on C-span, I'd never heard of EPR before, makes ya look at things a bit different.
This from a viewer who remembered watching the original Star Trek eps in the early 60's. I even wrote a letter protesting the show's cancellation!
If we don't know how this works, then how confident are we in saying things like the universal constants that we have observed for the last 200 years are indeed constant and have never changed?
How much faith should we really put into the scientific theories developed over the last 200 years that support old ages of the universe and evolution?
For me who has the benefit of knowing God, the answer is little. Don't get me wrong, I'm not disputing the scientific observations, themselves. But I do question many of the absolute conclusions that have been built, such as extrapolations into past time, simplistic models that are assumed to accurately model much more complicated phenomenon, etc.
For you who don't have the benefit of knowing God, yet, I encourage you to keep an open mind.
