Hope GF can save us from everything goes downhill. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/12/02/scientists-link-diamonds-in-strange-quantum-entanglement/

Haven't studied Quantum Entanglement to an extent of super string theory and other things. However the general gist I get is what happens to 1 object happens to another due to them being linked via quantum physics much like the theory that a twin will feel the other twin's pain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

woah :blink: That's huge, did they really do that? (I'm not a big fan of Fox news)

Scientists.
Teleport me a Twinkie.



please :whistling:

@rec-use

this has nothing to do with teleportation

It should be. Can we ask them to take it away and come back when they have it sorted out?

I say we lock them up in a room in ideal conditions until either they create a teleporter or die from lack of oxygen.

Sounds like a great idea. Let me just teleport over to the president and inform him.

Personally seeing this it has me curious as to possible implications in computer programming doing some kind of quantum entanglement code. Would be awesome to see a 100mb+ update done in 1/10th of a second using methods like this vs downloading it. Thought instantaneous transmission of data might be a stretch at the best of times.

And if we never observe them, they've both died and invented a teleporter at the same time! :whistling:

I only know what this is from Half-Life 2...

Dang you Frodo67 thinking about this Quantum Entanglement stuff is bad enough now i'm thinking about Schrodinger's cat. :blink:

My only question is how do they teleport out of a room in which they most likely have to create a sending and receiving teleporter in. They'd just be stuck, teleporting from one side of the room to the other and die from the lack of oxygen. You guys just want to kill these scientists or something.

I was going to say that current storage tech would be a bottleneck, but SSD's could probably keep up (more or less) and we'll likely have at least a decade or two for their cost per gigabyte to drop to more affordable levels.


Bear in mind that Schr?dinger actually used the cat to illustrate issues with a particular interpretation of quantum mechanics .

EDIT: This may help clarify things for you:

"One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter, there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of the hour, one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges, and through a relay releases a hammer that shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The psi-function of the entire system would express this by having in it the living and dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts. It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality. In itself, it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks." -- Translation of an excerpt from an article by Schr?dinger himself.

Basically, if you use quantum level stuff to affect macroscopic level stuff and end up with a situation that is nonsensical, you must be doing something wrong.

Well, seeing as how the room is an infinite plane of uniform density, they'll have plenty of space to teleport to during their 15 or so seconds of concsiousness before the ideal vacuum causes them to pass out.

Giving scientists ideal working conditions is a lot of work, so I think we're doing them a real service.

What if stuff gets quantum-entangled in the middle of teleportation sparked with quantum entanglement.
Because I still don't have that twinkie.

Quantum Entanglement sounds like the title of a nerdy rom-com.

As much as I want to believe this is true, I refuse to take any of my facts from FOX news as they tend to be twisted and untrue. If I find this on a more trustworthy website, I shall believe it maybe, Considering there is no hard evidence and also the cases of Hendrik Schon, I am not going to accept most scientific claims as true until I see test results, setting, variables, and conclusion. I need to be skeptical as 1: The source is FOX news
2: there are many false claims floating around in the science world to keep funding going.
3: this seems a little too straightforward thinking for quantum mechanics
4: There are no sources of information
5: THERE IS NO REASON NUMBER 5
6: When light were to have energy absorbed, the amplitude would change, not the wavelength.
7: If it were a quantum mechanical theory, the sensor measuring the laser's light would cause the whole test to become a rational test environment with no quantum entanglement.
Feel free to correct me on any of these or add to it if you find any other holes. I pointed out most of the big ones.

If you pick up this weeks Science, you should find something in there that you'd be more inclined to believe.

Go and observe his cat, then you won't have to think about it any more.

If you were to send me a link to the article, I would much appreciate it.

Hmm I wander if this explains why I have a tall thin pale man with green eyes in a suit carrying a breifcase, following me around where ever I go?
