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.

Scotty won't beam anybody anywhere anytime soon, but a new report by Chinese scientists shows that it is possible to transmit information over long distances using quantum entanglement. The research, published in the current issue of the journal Nature Photonics, could lead to faster and smaller quantum-based computers and unbreakable, encrypted communication across the world.

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.

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:

krashkart 06-08-10 09:55 AM

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:
