Physicists Discover How To Teleport Energy

MikeChino writes "A physicist at Tohoku University in Japan has figured out how to teleport energy from one point in the universe to another. The technique is based upon prior research that shows it's possible to teleport information from one location to another, and involves making a measurement on each [of] an entangled pair of particles. The measurement on the first particle injects quantum energy into the system, and then by carefully choosing the measurement to do so on the second particle, it is possible to extract the original energy. Heady stuff, but essentially it means that you can inject energy at one point in the universe and extract it from somewhere else without changing the energy of the system as a whole."

Why would that be a surprise? What'd be a big surprise is if the scientist were American, since Americans aren't studying advanced science any more.

The Japanese are much more long-term thinking than the Americans, and their society still values science.

Not trying to be down on you, but the word 'magically' is out of place in a discussion about the fundamentals of the cosmos. The reality of the universe is FAR more interesting then any 'magic'

Well, not trying to be down on *you*, but did you honestly think I didn't know that? I was just being funny/lazy. I didn't want to bother thinking about what word to use, so I said magic. Plus, if that were ever possible to do, it would be damn near like fucking magic to me.

I know this rebuttal is a waste of a post, but you reminding me that science isn't magic was a waste to begin with.
