    I could tell you were one of my brothers SubltleNuance. I agree. The U.S. is not free.
    You system harps on about it but actually, because you have a non existent social welfare system, and bad unaffordable education system, you are not free at all. Scandinavian people know what freedom is.! But my question to you is:
    Why do you want to live in the states?
    Why don't you come and live in Europe - it's not perfect but it's better.

    If you think things are better in the U.S you are wrong.
    Technology in America is the best but it's not for the public. Your public transport sucks.
    If you lived in France or Germany, or any of the Scandinavian countries you would instantly feel you are in a country that's years ahead.

    You probably don't desserve to have to live in the U.S.

    Stop knocking communism,
    It was never communism that failed - it was the people that ran it and the people that served it.

    It is true in my opinion that sapce exploration would be non existent in the hare and now under communism, if it was implemented properly and we were all ready for it - we're not.

    But, in about 50 years when we all have barcodes on our arms and our sirnames are Microsoft and McDonald, and the Kennedy Space centre is a nuclear grave yard...

    Lets just say I prefer the idea of a communist future. Clean up the world now. Then in 50 years (when we have nothing better to spend money on)

    start off about 20 different missions all around the solar system if we want to!

    Bush senior armed and empowered Saddam to destroy to use him as a puppet to manipulate Iraqi oil prices as needs be, and also to control the channels of Opium from Afghanistan, at the expense of millions, it's not your place to even think of Iraq. If they want another dictator themselves it would be better, as long as he wasn't again armed by America, so Iraq can finally have self determination.

    How they choose to rebuild is there business. If they decide they would first like to repair the mosques before the hospitals, that's theie business not Bush's or some big American engineering or telecoms company. Open your eyes!

    No Scott,

    Teleortation, again, is a completely different, far more advanced application of entanglement and is not applicable here.

    Actually, it's not even genuine teleporation, it's actually allot more like replication!!

    Oh, dear,

    Thats the whole point. I'm talking about a primitive Tuting machine communication here, which IS possible, not a sophisticated high bandwith internet connection between Mars and Gargon 5.

    And by the way, the very reason they went through the horrible pain of using rubidium in the first place was to AVOID decoherance.

    If you bothered to study the experiments of ENS, you would see that the whole point was to repeatedly remeasure the phase shift without damaging the photon of light,but instead merely, of course, changing it's phase. The experiment was a great success and paves the way for far more exotic experiments,..

  23. More Entanglement. on Scientists Freeze Pulse Of Light · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Oops, and forgot to mention,

    Though Einstein, Podosky and Rosen were able to monitor the effects of QE (Quantum Entanglement), no scientists yet know how an entangled pair of photons can have this "weird" communication.

    Some suspect a quantum bridge of some kind, whatever that would be..!
    I like to think it is one of natures gifts, it is wnough that we can dream of its use and who knows, maybe someday use it.

    So thats why eavesdropping would be imnpossible!!!

    The only hope for an eavesdropper would be to secretly take over the disentanglement process an manufacture a third photon (for his/her self)

    Then however communication would break down, because inevitably, the eaves dropper would measure his/her photon, creating an extra phase shift. Now communication between the 2 law-biding parties would have a triple phase shift, so they would immediately know someone is eavesdropping and cease communication. So, QE really would be the perfect way to communicate!

  24. Back to Entanglement. on Scientists Freeze Pulse Of Light · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think you're missing the point.

    These experiments are all a stepping stone towards genuine quantum communication. Previous experiment such as those in Paris (by firing rhubidium through a photon of light)showed that scientists can no measure certain properties of light without destroying the photon, and then re-measure it. The problem was that for quantum communication, you need to disentangle 2 separate photons from an entangled state so that any change you make to one makes ann instantaneous change to the other, it's twin if you like and that can be done it seems. But, keeping the light fixed in a certain place is one of the tricky parts. If they ever succeed at refing these crystals to the extent that a photon can be kept in a deterministic state, then all you need is 2 of these crystals - you can imagine them being placed at opposite ends of our solar system, each crystal containing your premade entangled photon bouncing back and forth, with the crystal itself locked in some kind of black box (cavity).
    Presumablt the crystals would have small atomic/sub/atomic sized pin holes to fire the rhubidium or other material through one of the crystals. The the phase shif of the rhubidium caused by this firing also occurs at the other photon (because they are entangled). Then when you measure the phase shift of the second crystal, the difference is twice as great (i.e. the first phase shift plus the second phase shift0 - hence you know at the other end of the solar system, that it was fired. Now all you need is a model, to measure
    according to time, t. For example, one crystal could measure every odd microsecond, the other at every even microsecond.

    Now you have a unary turing machine, communicating between the stars!!!.
