  1. God Lied? on A Field Trip To the Creation Museum · · Score: 1

    They ate it. God lied (having said the fruit would kill them), and the snake told the truth (they became more like God). God expelled them from the Garden of Eden (the implication in the text being that He didn't want them eating from the Tree of Everlasting Life) and cursed them to a hard life (that was their punishment). Man; if you could introduce me to Adam and Eve, that'd be fantastic... you know.. since they didn't die.
  2. Re:IANAP.... on Breakthrough Brings Star Trek Transporter Closer · · Score: 1

    This isn't useful for communication! The only way that it could be used for communication is if quantum mechanics has small nonlinear terms which would allow one party to "bias" his collapse preferentially onto horizontal or vertical.
    Perhaps it's not useful for communication itself; but it can be useful for the encryption of communication. These states, once observed, can act as a one-time pad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_time_pad for the two partys that has some beneficial characteristics.

    For example: It's extremely easy to destroy this OTP after use... and it should be impractical to use the state information more than once.
