Teleportation — Fact and Fiction
jcatcw writes "Earlier this week actor Hayden Christensen, of Star Wars fame, and director Doug Liman discussed teleportation with MIT professors to compare the reality to the special effects version in the upcoming movie, Jumper. Edward Farhi, director of the Center for Theoretical Physics at MIT, said, 'It's a little less exotic than what you see in the movie. Teleportation has been done, moving a single proton over two miles. [But] teleporting a person? That is pretty far down the line. The quantum state of a living creature is pretty formidable. That is just not in the foreseeable future.'"
Well, step aside my friend
I've been doing it for years
I say, sit on down, open your eyes
And open up your ears
Say
Put a tree in your butt
Put a bumblebee in your butt
Put a clock in your butt
Put a big rock in your butt
Put some fleas in your butt
Start to sneeze in your butt
Put a tin can in your butt
Put a little tiny man in your butt
Put a light in your butt
Make it bright in your butt
Put a TV in your butt
Put me in your butt
Everybody say
I, hey, that's, man, I ain't putting no trees in nobody's butt,
no bees in nobody's butt, putting nothing--
You must be out your mind, man,
y'all get paid for doing this?
Cause y'all gotta get some kind of money
Cause this don't sound like the kind of--
I'd rather golf, to be perfectly honest,
than put somethin in somebody's butt
to be truthful
Well step aside my friend and let me
show you how you do it
When big bad E just rock rock to it
Put a metal case in your butt
Put her face in your butt
Put a frown in your butt
Put a clown in your butt
Sit on down in your butt
Put a boat in your butt
Put a moat in your butt
Put a mink coat in your butt
Put everything in your butt
Just start to sing about your butt
Feels real good.
OK, I've got karma to burn! Not ONE goddamn minute my post is up, and some close-minded, stickler-for-being-on-topic BASTARD mods me "off-topic". Get a CLUE you cretin. Teleportation topic discussion is NOT just for finger-twiddling geeks or on-topic-Nazis, you twit. Why don't you open your mind? If this had been a discussion of a new kind of nuke discovery by a relative of Einstein or Fermi or others, moral and ethical questioning would SURELY pop upon Slashdot, and all KINDS of people would get mods other than "off-topic".
Jeez. YOU seem like a teleporation-scrambling target. Why don't you let 50 or 150 people weigh in?
Previously: "Linux... Toward the Sunrise..." Now: "Linux... Toward the-- No, now, part of Every Sunrise"
you are acting like you have all the answers
Because I do. And I pity the fool who has the nerve to disagree with me. It's only a matter of common sense anyways, both copies *are* a continuation of the original, but one has to die, and its death is no different from a regular death, that's the point.
Frankly, it makes you sound like an ass.
Shut up, fool!
You just got troll'd!
