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.

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.

There is no "quantum shit going on" that breaks special relativity. Attention world: Once and for all, quantum theory does not break relativity.
How right you are, and I have an elegant theory of quantum gravity that reconciles quantum mechanics with general relativity. 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?
