Cosmology, anyone? space7 still around?!

Gurm,

You know, I think I have read about the "teleportation" experiment somewhere else years ago in Scientific American (when I was still an active subscriber in college). The article was a little conservative though (if I recall correctly), just like your reply.

Thanks for the "enlightenment".

I think quantum entangled photons are more applicable to mirroring energy/mass. Transferring energy/mass a la Star Trek's &quot;transporter beam&quot; isn't something the experiment is implying.

As for the Boomerang experiment, I personally feel that a flat (or nearly flat) universe is a GOOD thing. It doesn't mess with good old Euclidean stuff. Parallel lines remain parallel forever (hmm.. no singularities then?). And like Paddy[MU] said, it is good news for the universe as we <u>probably</u> will not head for a big crunch (the opposite of a big bang).

I thought some scientists were using those types of particles to transfer data from one spot to the next. If I remember correctly, they actually acheived this in a lab setting and it was reproduced by another team.

Maybe I'm mixing articles, but I read something about the next generation (or several generations away) computer that would transmit data using this stuff.

I can see the .sigs now...

Oh, before I forget, what a great movie quote... "Ooooh, check out the big brain on Gurm..."

I remember reading about this a while back,

How about a method of transfering energy from one place to another?
