Twenty years ago it was pretty clear that very few physics graduates would have a career in the field so little has changed in this regard.
You study it because it is fascinating stuff, not necessarily because you'd expect to make a living of it. Other work is financially much more rewarding, and it is fairly easy to branch out with a physics degree under your belt.
You can already buy commercial quantum encryption devices. That was the point of the hacking to begin with. Only caveat: The existing tech is point to point protocol. That's why this was such big news earlier this year.
"Contrary to common perception, brain and other cells in the body can live for many hours after a person dies. There are different estimates on how long cells can survive without a blood supply and oxygen after death: bone cells for four days, skin cells for 24 hours. Although the oxygen and energy supply to brain cells is depleted within four to five minutes, brain cells remain viable but non-functioning for up to eight hours."
The paper is not at all crackpottery. Just your over the top conclusions with regards to how this affects the chances of medically affecting the aging pathology.
The linked abstract clearly states that this is a hypothesised model, and that this may lead to new insights into how to treat the onset of Alzheimers.
Based on this abstract, I doubt that the author of this paper would concur with your wide sweeping conjectures with regards to longevity.
Seriously? You think that'll increase price to a point where people can't afford ammo? Especially since this only affect ammo that you use for hunting. You know, in the public places that all other people tend to share with you?
Which has absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand i.e. the environmental impact of lead in bullets, unless you have your NRA tinfoil hat firmly strapped on.
Encapsulates the NRA spirit perfectly. The attitude on display is that the government is the enemy and not matter what law they pass with regards to guns the intent is predetermined to be evil gun control.

He did such a bang-up job at Nokia, can't wait to see what he'll do with MS.
And you are very cynical.
Born in Germany, worked several years in the US, currently live in Canada. International enough for you?
Anybody knows how the new commercial space launchers do in comparison?
What a vapid comment.
Western arrogance at it's worst.
It is truly odious, isn't it?

Is quantum entanglement the only physical resource that allows for such strong encryption?
I.e. does exploiting thermodynamic properties already suffice as claimed in the Kish cypher?
The five minute meme is a common misconception.

Much better source. Thank you.
Well at least we can agree on something then :-)
Sorry buddy, as somebody who has lived in Germany, the US and now Canada I don't even know where to start trying to understand your problem.
Only certainty that I see, is that your certainty prevents any, even the most sensible, regulations.
Well as long as the neighbor can get the treatment accomplished before the apocalypse arrives. Otherwise it'll be pointless, don't you think?

Ever considered this concern may be legit?
It's a very nice UID. And your AC handle has a very nice space.
Dear AC, I was going for funny ...
So for the pot calling the kettle black, my black is much shinier.
And you sound like a cross between Yoda and a Google translation.

Unregulated free tarde with repressive low wage regimes meant the American blue color workers never stand a chance.
Now the surveillance system will kill off the American software industry.
Heck of a job, Congress.
The marginal cost of 'manufacturing' and hence the long term price for any piece of information is $0.
