Quantum leap
 

Quantum mechanics has taken a leap forward, with quantum entanglement being succesfully used to send data over a distance of 10 miles.

Communication like this is instant. Although it offers no benefit at the moment because a key to decypher the data needs to be transmitted as well, it is still amazing imho.

Tittie movies instantly? Oh hell yes!! :rock:

Al: Ziggy had a new data search component installed and we had to have it shipped in from Hong Kong and I think that gave a little jet-lag to the modem of the floppy disk.
Sam: Why do you make this stuff up all the time? Why don't you just say to me, 'Sam, we don't know.' Why don't you just do that for once, instead of making it up all the time?
Al: Well, that wouldn't be any fun.

:har::rock:

The ansible! It works!

...sort of...

I don't know anything about quantum physics, but does this mean that we will some day be able to email beer to one another? :hmmm:

If all goes according to plan, you'll be able to email yourself to the future and send yourself tomorrow's beer yesterday. :yeah:

Hopefully tomorrow's beer will be a penny to the bottle and worth it's net weight in gold. :up:

Not good... in that case tomorrows beer would be three days old... would be a little dead by then I guess:hmmm:

not good at all:nope:

No because it ages backwards during transmission. Like Merlin. Because of all the quantum magicks, and stuff.

Wouldn't that mean that the beer would be aged to near-perfection, and not quite ready? In that case it would be better to wait until the day after tomorrow to download the beer, then warp one day back in time. :hmmm:

The day after tomorrow won't work, obviously all the quantums will be froze over by then.

Well dammit, I hadn't thought of that. If that's true, we'll only have one day to download beer and enjoy it before everything goes to hell. Imagine that hangover. :shifty::rotfl2:

In that case it wouldn't matter a thing. If you'd get tomorrow's beer today, it would be a day younger than today's. But in the time it takes to become tomorrow's beer, it would grow a day older. 1-1=0 so there would be no difference.:hmmm:

Give it up, Frau Brau. These luddites have no understanding of technology. :sunny:

yeah, that's why I'm studying Electrical Engineering:)
I hope you do understand it will be me and my colleagues who'd develop such a teleporting application?:sunny:

Of course. I can pretty much guarantee that anybody here understands the technology better than I do. I was just adding to the beer jokes and Frau K's comment on "Magicks". :D

Well, at the very least you'll do most of the wiring and help with the testing. We'll need to beam a few guys in red shirts through the system to make sure all the kinks are worked out before we put anyone's beer at risk. :O:

I know, I know:)

I guess the overly extensive mathematics lessons I get at uni have degenerated my brain to an extent where I can only see things in formulas... No more "Magicks" for me:dead:...

But still, if you take a function f(t) for the age of beer, and differentiate it on the interval [0,t], and once more on the interval [-t,0], you'll find that both are first-degree functions, and that f'(t) equals f'(-t) (as f(t) is a continuous function). From this you can conclude that beer traveling backwards in time loses age exactly as fast as beer traveling forward in time gains age.
So:

∀t∈ℝ, ∂f∈ℕ, 0 ≤ ∂f ≤ 2: f'(t)=-f'(-t) ⇒ f'(t)+f'(-t)=0 ⇒ ∫[0,t]f'(t)dt+f(t)+∫[-t,0]f'(t)dt=f(t)

Wherein f(t) is the age of beer and f'(t) is the aging speed.

Q.E.D.
:D

Now try to prove me wrong:arrgh!:
