CNN article (http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/10/04/teleportation.reut/index.html)

Holy Toledo, Batman! :eek: The very first de-materialization and "teleporting" (even though it's only in inches) actually happened! Can you say "Beam me up, Scotty!"?!! Dang... They still say it's far from teleporter but it's a heck of a start!!

Yeah, I read that article and got very excited. I can't wait to see what happens when they try to teleport larger, more complicated objects. How will they transmit the information that will ensure they are reconstructed correctly?

Inches is quite far in the world of quantum...amazing.

I read it to and its really some break though tech. Did you read a few years back how they have patten a hologram technology? I dont think we will see this in our lifetime but wow is this stuff cool. Its amazing how we are only limited by our imaginations on what we can invent.

first i thought it wasnt a big deal then I told this to my friend who studies physics then he told me its some kind of a break through.
