Physicists beaming with teleport success

The details I've read require a receiver apparatus of some sort.

We currently drop tanks from airplanes.

This is just like everything else. a big nothing.

Hardly worthy of notice, for now. But in time, if this is real it's got huge implications.

This would indeed be useful to round up The Crew from shore leave in ports.
Would it work to beam them back from jail cells, do you think?
That would save the nuisance it is for me to deliver bail monies, and we thus could afford better vittles for Snow Bunny to prepare.

Fred again complains about SpamSpamSpamSpam and MORE Spam.
He also wants Cobby to devise a harness with rigid pole affixed to hold an umbrella over his head while he is on his water skis.

Razorback-bert resists the idea of getting rid of using some of the Spam in his fruitcakes.

Even if you would have to drop a receiver.

It would still have the potential to give new meaning to "Blitzkrieg"

I think we should research and lead here for sure..

I'm thinking this one might have lost a little in translation from scientific English to Journalese.

Yep. I stopped reading at this line :

but the reality of beaming human beings between locations was still light years off.

Physicists beaming with teleport success

Good news for the scientifically clueless!

[Shryke]

I think the experiment you refer to was where they passed a laser through a chamber with some exotic gaseous conditions inside, and the laser emerged from the chamber before it fully entered ; thus, far exceeding light speed.

What is curious to me is the quantum computer reference. I may be mistaken, but I recall that quantum computers deal with using the mechanics of the atom and it's orbiting particles to emulate transistors, which would produce a much faster and smaller processor than anything we could produce with silicon. What the hell has that to do with teleportation? They are seperate areas of Quantum theory. Is this Guardian paper that was qouted one of the massively biased papers that honestreporting.com criticizes so much?

Had a little trouble finding this thread using search for some reason:

Science fiction closer to fact

From an Australian paper.

"thank you....."

[Benrand]

That is the same Guardian. I noticed that as well...raise your eyebrows at this rag.

It would indeed help keep the crew together. Presently, it is like herding kittens to keep up with them. BTW, Fred traded 1243 cases of Spam for three cases of beer. I sent Scuttlebutt and Cobby to pick up the beer a week ago...

[Dead Dog]

They've, the Aussies, have already split the beer atom.

[goodieD]

Leave it to those Australians..they throw away their rights, but they score high on the Star Trek achievment test!

[Physicist]

I understand that Jim Traficant has volunteered to be the first human subject.

Mostly because he's interested in finding a way out of the slammer.

[Physicist]

I'm thinking this one might have lost a little in translation from scientific English to Journalese.

It's so uncontaminated by actual physics that I can't meaningfully comment on it.

[Fred Mertz]

Maybe we can teleport the Spam back to the vessel, once this teleport process matures.
