Scientists teleport two different objects

[Phx_Dem]

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Beaming people in Star Trek fashion is still in the realms of science fiction but physicists in Denmark have teleported information from light to matter bringing quantum communication and computing closer to reality.

Until now scientists have teleported similar objects such as light or single atoms over short distances from one spot to another in a split second.

But Professor Eugene Polzik and his team at the Niels Bohr Institute at Copenhagen University in Denmark have made a breakthrough by using both light and matter.

11. No, no. NO teleportation of Bush to anywhere else.

Just introduce the chimp to his antimatter counterpart, and let them shake hands. POOF!

16. LOL

But I'd rather just pop him onto the surface of VENUS in his underwear. Or maybe Jupiter? The ice Ammonia storms are very nice this time of year..Hahaha..

7. Time to start the ethical debate

so that we get it settled before people start actually teleporting.

Once a person teleports are they the same person? Or what do we do with copies?

12. Wonder if he could teleport the right wingers to Pluto

13. At some point in a scifi show, this dialogue must appear...

Crew: "Sir, we realize it's 100 years in the future and you are unfamiliar with the technology, but you ARE the ranking officer. So do we fight, or run?"

Captain: "Well, do we have sheilds?"

Crew: "Yes sir!"

Captain: "And hyperdrive?"

Crew: "Yes Sir!"

Captain: "And teleporters?"

Crew: "Yes sir!"

Captain: "How about weapons?"

Crew: "Like I said sir, yes, we have teleporters."

14. Hmm.. Pretty cool, but it seems incomplete

At least for anything more than a few intertwined particles.

Give me a call when you can teleport Jeff Goldblum. :)
