Quantum Teleportation Achieved Over 16 km In China
Laxori666 writes "Scientists in China have succeeded in teleporting information between photons farther than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles), much farther than the few hundred meters previously achieved, which brings us closer to transmitting information over long distances without the need for a traditional signal."

Unfortunately, what they transmitted was an email for Vi4gra, using an open wifi connection at a Starbucks 10 miles down the road.

Not until they do it over the USA or even France, but not over China.
Monster Cable will find someway to exploit this, of course with enough shielding to protect against a nuclear blast and the heat of the sun.
We should start a new Slashdot and return control to the geeks. It actually wouldn't be that hard to get some users to
I never got any of this newfangled philotic physics. Half of it nobody understands anyway.
No, everyone understands and doesn't understand quantum philotics at the same time, until they are tested. It averages out to half of the population, though.
Odd, because I tend to feel as if I understand it and don't understand it at the same time.
It's only when somebody asks me if I understand it that I come to a conclusion, either way.

Me too, but then I get tangled up and with mixed emotions over the recent death of my cat and wish I never tried to understand in the first place.

Not anymore you don't.

Asking people to look things up for you in an age where doing it yourself literally means putting your finger down, moving your hand one inch, and putting your finger down again, is pretty fucking contemptible.
contempti... eh, what?
Information still cannot be transmitted faster than light.
Sigh...subspace transmissions, hello???
Unfortunately, my proof is too large to fit in this forum post.
Is it really too large, or are you just afraid that once your theory is observed it will no longer hold?

But when the second half of the population observes the first half understanding and not understanding, they understand or don't too.
