Teleportation at Last

jsm writes " Using a little-understood property of twin particles called "entanglement", researchers at Caltech have used two beams of light to transport a third beam of light a distance of one yard. Essentially, they're making a copy of the original beam, so it's arguable whether the beam has been transported or merely duplicated. Still, it may be applicable to larger objects (philosopher's stone, anyone?)." I hope this means that someday I can get around without using a car.
