Beam me up! :D

[GHOST]

you beat me to posting this.


Teleporting a much larger object, like a person, appears unlikely, if not entirely impossible, because too much information would have to be captured and transmitted.It's certainly not useful for any beaming in the 'Star Trek' sense," Dr. Blatt of the University of Innsbruck said. "Consider even some molecules or something small like a virus. I cannot imagine it. As far as I can see, it's not going to happen."

someday someone will say " phhhhhhtttt!! i see it, it is simple"

I thought that's how you became 'ghost' :scared:
:scratch: phhhhhhtttt!! here one second, then phhhhhhtttt!! gone the next. :harhar:

I thought that's how you became 'ghost' :p :jester:

pretty much. some guys gave me the tag when it seemed i had more than nine lives-

can't kill a ghost!

This IS interesting.

A "qubit" computer? How fast is fast? I wonder what the power requirement would be? And what other things might be "teleported"?

:D

As the scientists say, it's not impossible to beam humans so it just would generate too much data. But who knows, in 100 years, a few generations or computers later ...

Not I regret not having started to study physics in Innsbruck :rolleyes:
